This is odd because you could say the same thing is happening to Switch.  If Switch really is that popular wouldn't it be the prime target of exports?  Wouldn't that in and of itself be able to explain its sales retention? 

Switch has far more exports than PS5, it has been the case since its release in 2017. My first Switch was indeed Japanese. It's one of the reasons for Switch relatively weak ROW in comparison with Sony brand 

The case is even with higher exports in absolute numbers an humongous number of Switch units stays in Japan, probably not the case for Playstation 

Does it matter that they export Japanese sold consoles to somewhere else?

If it’s sold in Japan then it’s sold in Japan. They don’t double count.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 160 million (was 120 million, then 140 million, then 150 million)

PS5: 130 million (was 124 million)

Xbox Series X/S: 54 million (was 60 million, then 57 million)
