You haven't seen software sales for PS5 to sustain my claim? Then you clearly aren't looking but since you clearly a huge fan, im not surprised you would close your eyes to this. Are you really saying there is no evidence of PS5 having poor software sales in Japan?

Switch is mediocre to you for a subjective reason. That was exactly my point earlier about being subjectice, Switch hardware being mediocre based on hardware power is the definition of subjectice. PS5 software sales in Japan are not subjectively bad, they are bad. Anything can be considered mediocre based on subjective reasons, I could easily call the PS5 crap for being as inconvenient of a console as it gets. I was literally playing Hogwarts on my porch watching it snow yesterday, guess which console I wouldn't be able to do that with? I plan on taking a flight to Florida in a few weeks to take the children to Disney World, guess which platform I cant play while on my flight? I have 3 docks, allowing me to move it to any tv at anytime. I watched a college basketball game yesterday night while playing my Switch, Xbox and PS are so inferior its not even close. This is combination with the first party ip is the reason why we have a conversation of Switch challenging PS2 for the all time record and never another Playstation platform, the market has spoken not my subjective opinion but the market.

On your last post to Zorg, maybe I shouldn't have come at xtreme about being a liar and instead you. Your logic makes no sense. I never got upset at his pessitimic prediction, that makes no sense. Wouldn't I want to see him eat crow and laugh in his face? I believed he was being dishonest about it, he was called out about having a pessitimic prediction originally but seemed to act like the 4 million was always his prediction. Here you are yet again bending over backwards to dodge what I said and tell a different story.

These analogies from both of you are useless, the PS5 is more than just it's hardware sales. It's software sales are why at best I can describe as mediocre in Japan, your analogies need a second variable. Imagine being the fastest airplane offering me a 30 minute flight instead of the two hour flight I need to Florida but it can only carry one passager at a time? Don't you think I would prefer that faster flight to carry more than just me and probably include my family? That's what the PS5 looks like, it sale as well as it wants but if the software isn't moving with it then that can't be good. Obviously this has lead to the belief that some of this is due to PS5s being exported else where and F2P affecting software sales. This would definitely help explain why its performance in Japan is mediocre, people in Japan don't have the console. Japan has some pretty good pricing compared to the other territories making it a good place to export from, the price went up and the hardware dropped. Don probably has his eyes closed though.

If you have chart for total SW sold by PS4 and PS5 in Japan why not provide instead of this tirade? Because as I said I have seem the Famitsu charts showing rank per week (in which yes Switch dominates) but not full year sum of all software sold on the system.

HW power is as objective as you can get, their are cold data.

Cool that you like to spin mean to words, from mediocre to liar now.

And you keep talking like you know most of the users for a long time, while being a member for less than a month, won't you disclose your true account of it got perma banned due to poor behavior? Because your current account was already moderated quite a few times in such a short time.

Would have to link from another forum with the data and I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do that. I'm I? Regardless you should educate yourself on that if you don't know. You also cant just brush off the PS5 having terrible rankings weekly. Those rankings don't need high figures to enter the top 30 and PS5 still struggles. The current week (Jan 1, 2024 to Jan 7, 2024) for example has the lowest selling game of roughly 4K. How can only a single game on PS5 (Spider-Man 2) be in the top 30? This only requires 4K of sales. That right there should be a big indicator. 

HW power is objective and so is portability/convenience. So what's your point? None of this has anything to do with PS5 selling less software than WiiU and Vita. Is WiiU now a success? I certainly don't think so, so a platform with objectively less software is terrible. PS5 hardware looks good but software looks atrocious, that's why I said mediocre performance in Japan.

I didn't spun anything, you continue to be dishonest about what I said. I clarified it again and you will likely claim that same mess you continue to spew. It's illogical, I want him to eat crow, so why get made at a pessitimic prediction? Obviously if I thought he lied about it then I would have an issue with that.

What are you talking about with this knowing people? We are all random people posting on a forum, I don't need to have been a member here to see your public post on a public website for years. I know xtrem was previously known as yo, I have been a fan of this site for years. Since Wii days when Wii needed massive adjustments because it was very difficult to track. Members have come and gone such as source and the owner or previous owner ioi. Yes I have been watching ever since, Rol is another long time member whom has never cared to become a mod here. I seen him have that conversation. I have been here for probably 15 years. This is all irrelevant, this doesn't matter, stick to what I'm talking about instead of my membership lol. Dispute what I said.
