Eh, I dunno; PS as a brand has been in decline in Japan for a long time now, but PS5 is tracking ahead of PS4 so far isn't it? I know that's not a very high bar, but still.

I know people like to use "tracking ahead", but that's not a good indication of what lifetime sales will be. The PS5 I still think will do 6 million lifetime in Japan and will do less than the PS4 worldwide.

I know selling faster at the start doesn't settle the race but PS5 seems to have more hype than PS4 ever had, and globally speaking I can see no reason at all for it to sell less than its predecessor.
