The tables are on fiscal years, top is hardware, botton is retail software. Enterbrain owns Famitsu so that's where the data comes from.

Around the same time PS4 had sold over 800k boxed games, not counting Knack.

This is a good comparison. Even with a much higher digital ratio the PS5 sales figures would be a big decline compared to PS4s. Such a tiny attachment rate just doesn't seem realistic for a new platform, so unless one of the summer releases can break the spell, its only natural to assume that fair number of those Japanese PS5s are being imported elsewhere. Not long til we have RE8's sales to help inform the picture.
