I don't think it matters
I personally think the ps5 can hit the 8 to 10 million range in japan
The system is still relatively new and anything can happen, let's wait and see

A note to nintendo owners: remember when the switch had only just come out and Sony owners were calling it dead on arrival, no one wants it, its just a fad, look what happened, don't turn into them

The main problem with people saying stuff like this is that it had nothing to do with reality.  If people called the Wii U dead on arrival then they were totally accurate.  Well, PS5 software in Japan is selling worse than the Wii U.  One thing about being on a website that reports data is that people want an accurate picture of the current sales reality and hopefully an accurate forecast of the near future.  It's perfectly fine to call a failed system, "a failure".

The physical performance of PS5 is abysmal, you have more than 75 weeks back from this. Ps4 with the same hardware numbers have 26 50k+ games, Ps5 have only 7 ga,es and best selling is 140k( its on the same level of Xbox).  More than one year on the market you have good data for a good projection of future sales. 

Switch dead on arrival, people don´t have any data and any context for this claim.
