Yup. Sony has been flooding systems to shelves as of late and obviously there was a lot of pent up demand due to long time supply shortages, but it seems pent up demand is starting to hit saturation and sales will continue falling to wherever the natural baseline will end up being. We probably just saw the best couple months of PS5 Japan sales we'll ever see. Still, impressive there was that much pent up demand, and PS5 is clearly gonna have a great year even if baseline ends up being under 20k/week (which i expect it to be) considering they sold so much so far this year.
At least PS5 helped give Japan a strong quarter for the industry just as Switch sales are starting to slow.
