Here's my curious problem:
Roughly 250k PS5s are produced per week (as per last fj report, and Sony keeps promising upping production).
Week after week for over two months, you show less than 200k units sold (with one or two exceptions).
So who is wrong?

Do we have a link to this report? We get numbers out of the US, UK, Spain, and Japan fairly regularly, which gives us an idea on the sales for the rest of the world. It would need to be selling better in mainland Europe and rest of the world than what we are seeing. When Sony releases its shipment figures we will make any necessary adjustments. Sony is hoping to ship more PS5 consoles than PS4 did in its first full fiscal year, which we have our PS5 numbers above PS4 after the same number of weeks. 

If Sony predicts it will be able to ramp up production later, couldn't it be that they are starting stockpiling 50k/week in the slower Summer period for next Xmas and possible strongest weeks in the meantime? After all we know in many countries there have been, due to side effects of some vaccines that overly impressed, compared to the possible effects of the infection and their rate, public opinion and politicians, many hiccups in a vaccination race that otherwise appeared the fastest ever after the first vaccines surprised and amazed the world, so some companies could have been a little bit too optimistic about the real exit from the emergency period and they'll have to make some small adjustments and compromises before restarting full steam.
