Context is key people were saying not only before the platform launched but on no other basis than their personal preference and not actual data and factors for example it was already known at that point that Nintendo were the only company who would still cater to the portable market in other words a monopoly, this alone made it impossible for NS to be dead on arrival and it's not like this factor was an unseen surprise either.

The context when people aren't impressed by PS5's performance in the region of Japan however is based on actual data we have since it's launched which is over a year ago people have actual charts, tables and graphs with data as well as software performance that they're basing their opinions on the two situations aren't the same.

There's a big difference between not being impressed by PS5 sales and arguing that the demand isn't higher than the supply. I think you're recontextualising the arguments being had here. 

No the context is fine if anything going by the arguments here someone was arguing that demand is as such that PS5 would be the top selling platform for months people just dispute that claim as the data points to that being unlikely if their arguments bother you take it up with them, demand itself is a key factor in supply itself we even had weeks where PS5 performance dropped to like 1-2k, if the demand was the to the point that PS5 would outsell everything else for months it's reasonable for people to think some effort would be made to achieve that for example dedicate more of the WW stock to at least hit 40kish.
