There seems to be some confusion about the Switch software domination but I not really that confused. Consider this:

There are roughly 10x as many Switch units out in Japan as PS5 units. Even if the PS5 outsells the Switch for most of the year I would still expect the Switch to move more software.

The threshold for getting into the Top 10 this week is 4480 units. Usually a console selling like the PS5 should be able to cross that line with a few titles.

Yes I understand where you are coming from and over the course of the last few weeks we have seen a handful of PS4 and PS5 titles in the top 20.  But we have seen Switch dominating software for quite some time.  Obviously this has a lot to do with the lopsided install base   And the PS5 has only outsold the Switch for 2 weeks this year after months of not even reaching half the sales.

The PS5 is going to have to keep outselling the Switch before we regularly see games in the top 10.

Also we need more notable releases.  If you don't see Hogwarts in the top 10 next week then we can speculate further.

Do these charts cover digital sales?
