There is also only a few million PS5 in Japan. If I had to guess 5,5 to 6 million is the right number of PS5 systems in the actual hands of consumers. The rest was sold to scalpers and resellers 

There are 7mil PS5 units sold in JP. All scalpers have likely sold their inventory to genuine consumers given that it’s been 3 years since the shortage ended.

The scalpers were concentrated in the first years yes. It was the time where PS5 was sold but with no axtualy reflection on software chart. 1 million out of 7 million is what I estimate that went abroad. Remember PS5 was not instantly released in some Asian markets, imports from Japan are the norm
