When the more affordable PS5 Japan edition dropped, there was an uptick. I really thought PS5 could still hit 1 million this year.

Alas that uptick only lasted 3 weeks. Now it seems that 1 million is indeed probably not going to happen.

I have to wonder if this is related to the news that Capcom's next 2 big games (RE9, Pragmata) will also come to Switch2?

That certainly didn't help PS5, but I feel the primary reason it can't maintain momentum is still the same as ever, that PS5's exclusives just don't resonate with the Japanese audience in the way that Nintendo's do.
