I expect the PS5 will go down to 15-20k after FFVII rebirth and Rise of the Ronin has launched. After Q1 the Japanese gamer will face a drought, until Dragon Quest, Ghost of Tsushima 2 and Monster Hunter will launch, most likely all these titles won't launch this year. The Switch still has plenty of releases ahead that the Japanese market likes.

You always expect the PS5 to crash. Even though it shows that it can surpass the PS3 in sales

As long as software sales are garbage, I doubt many of these consoles are sold to Japanese gamers. Rather they are exported to China, which is something that's happening and wasn't that big during the PS3 days, due to China being a lot poorer back then.
