Why are we bringing up U.K sales in a Japanese thread?
Its obvious PS5 software sales in Japan are low, even after factoring in digital.
I believe there was a post in resetera (maybe of a tweet?) Where the estimated PS5 attach rate in Japan was below 1 even with digital.

Sony fans should just accept the PS5s fate in Japan and move on.
PS5 will still get good support (and hopefully soon! Ive been mostly playing PS4 games on it)

You've unaccounted for multiple variables:

- PS5 can play PS4 games

- PS5 has an extensive F2P and PS+ collection.

I don't think Sony fans are the ones unable to accept. PS5, like the PS4, will have the best Japanese third party support compared to SW or Xbox, and will have many third party exclusive or timed exclusive games.

If PS5 sells 9-10M and 60-80M software then its continued what the PS3 and PS4 generally did, showing that there is a stable userbase in Japan.
