Retailers topped Xbox sections BECAUSE no one was buying them. Not the other way round. The fact is PS5/XSX can be sold overseas at 1.5-2x the MSRP price, meaning scalpers can make profit even by shipping across the world.

There is no way a console with 0.03 attach ratio is in demand by actual players. Unless you are of the theory that Gamepass is taking off in Japan.

How the heck do you not see the contradiction in those two statements?

If a console is not "in demand by actual players," then who the heck is paying "1.5-2x the MSRP price"???

Edit: And yes, I know you mean scalpers are selling it overseas, but I still don't understand why would Microsoft send those units to a country where people are supposedly not buying them instead of sending them directly to those countries where people are willing to pay "1.5-2x the MSRP price"

If you knew then why did you ask?

1.5x2 MSRP is overseas demand. Scalpers ship to overseas and can still get profit.
