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.

Despite dominating the market, Sony have at points shipped only 50 units in countries like spain whilst in the same week their competition shipments have been in the 1000s. Even if Sony could sell 100k units in Japan for several weeks, they can sell those same numbers elsewhere like US/UK where their would be a much higher spend per console. 

If sony can ship 40k to Japan without sacrificing more valuable income elsewhere, I'm sure they would. Unfortunately thats likely well over a year off from being a reality
