Surely you would know Sony has higher digital attach rate than Nintendo. PS5 is on track to sell around PS3 and PS4 number in Japan. They are still buying it to play games or are they just using it to play DVD? Whether it's the higher digital rate, the new ps plus subscription tiers or more f2p games it doesn't matter since Sony reported they are making record profits with the PS5. You all are acting like Japan is the world but when the generation end PS5 will still sell over a billion software units just like all previous Sony's home consoles

This forum is for a video games sales site. You should know how these things works. When a company has great sales they brag about them. When their sales are underwhelming they don't mention them and/or make it difficult to determine. When Xbox One sales tanked, Microsoft stopped reporting them. When the PS3 was doing poorly, Sony grouped PS2 and PS3 sales together to mask how the console was truly selling. Sony wouldn't stay silent while Nintendo has 85+% dominance of the weekly Japanese software sales charts if they had numbers to show otherwise. As for the bolded text, this is Japanese sales thread. Complaining about Japan being the focus of this thread's discoussion is asinine. This isn't the "Weekly Global Sales Thread". It's a Famitsu Sales Thread. Japanese sales are literally the focus of the thread's discussion.

Thing is it's not even that bad. Sony consoles been consistently selling like this in Japan for 20 years or so but we getting doom and gloom every week from Nintendo fans
