Software sales aren't just comprised of new console owners, pre-existing owners still buy games. Maybe word of mouth convinced them to give it a try months down the line, or they were too busy with other stuff or didn't have enough spare change when it first came out.

After the first few weeks a high percentage of software sales are from new hardware owners. And PS5 digital software sales are higher than Switch 2 too. Too bad we don't know the digital sales in Japan 

is there any actual data on what share of sales are from new owners? 

Digital ratios are higher on PS, but there's also a disc drive add on for the PS5 Pro and Digital Edition isn't there, so the total physical-enabled install base for Requiem to sell to will be higher than the 5.9m base PS5s in the wild.
