Since the PS5 launched in Japan, it has sold 1.05m, Xbox S/X 92k and Switch 5.2m.BUT software is 0.5m PS5, 1700 Xbox S/X and 20.4m Switch. This is ex-digital which is a much bigger deal for PS5/Xbox but still says attach rate for PS5 is low (1x-2x) v. Switch (4x +) in the period!

Software sales on the PS5 just provided by David Gibson, 500K since launch with four titles making up around 50% of those sales. For comparison, Minecraft on the Switch has outsold all games on the PS5 in the same period of time. 

In terms of Tales of Arise on the PS5, the second-week drop is above 86% with sales below 6673

Software sales for the PS5 are dramatic no matter how you look at it.

We are going to see a real problem unfolding in Japan as Japanese developers with previously very strong ties to Sony will have to jump ship if they want to make any money.
