What do you mean? The PS5's week 2 performance hasn't been unusual and for the past few years has been in line for what the baseline for the first stretch of the year will be so if that continues around 15k could be the norm for a while.

I mean they sell more in the first week of the new year, than the last week of the previous year.

They get a boost. 

Ah ok that was confusing since I was talking about week 2. The same pattern happens for Nintendo and it's cause new year is the most significant holiday in Japan rather than Christmas like the west so there's even more buying going on the first few days of January compared to Christmas week.
