Consoles are selling a lot this week, because there has been a shortage, and now more hardware is available.  There is pent up demand.  Once that demand is met, sales will drop.  That is a reasonable assumption.  That is not from "nowhere".  That's actually what happens whenever there is a hardware shortage.

If you are talking about PS5 lifetime sales, there are plenty of warning signs that it's not going to sell anywhere near what PS4 will sell.  If you think there are no signs, then you are simply choosing to ignore the information that is plainly there.

PS5 is selling a lot whenever is enough stock available. Not only this week, but in a couple of past weeks and this will holds true for the foreseeable future.

Your theory is that a console that have yet to get exclusives or even the best selling software in this generation is collapsing in sales just because... reasons. You keep bringing JP software sales to make predictions  about a console that sold more than eleven times more outside Japan than inside last generation and call this evidence. 

I will no longer engage this discussion about you being a cliff theorist as it's starting to get personal and I don't intend to make you feel uncomfortable, ashamed or mocked. I was trying to make a joke but I might have overextended myself, I apologize for this. 

I am saying that it is software that sells hardware.  You seem to think something else sells hardware.  I find that ridiculous.

Also, I've given reasons.  PS5 is competing with both XBS and Switch.
