The main problem with people saying stuff like this is that it had nothing to do with reality.  If people called the Wii U dead on arrival then they were totally accurate.  Well, PS5 software in Japan is selling worse than the Wii U.  One thing about being on a website that reports data is that people want an accurate picture of the current sales reality and hopefully an accurate forecast of the near future.  It's perfectly fine to call a failed system, "a failure".

My argument wasn't that it will be the best selling for months, simply that demand is pent up and way outstrips supply (which current software sales can't reflect) and a retailer said its 30x higher than current demand, which they did. We know it's supply constraint, so using a year worth of supply constraint sales data is a bit pointless in discussing actual "demand" or peak potential sales we could hypothetically see in a week without contraints. We have plenty of data points to look to like lotteries, being constantly sold out, being sold for high prices on Amazon JP, randomly fluctuating sales according to supply alone, hardware that thats not impacted by its biggest software releases. This mountain of evidence is why their stances demanding "proof" that there is much higher demand than current sales show, doesnt seem reasonable if we're taking the wider picture into account. It's more or less denial at this point. 

There are lottery systems for PS5 in many of Japans biggest retailers, it sells whatever sony ships (hence jumping from 15k-35k in a week without any new releases). I'm pointing to one piece of evidence amongst a lot of evidence that supply is not close to meeting demand. You are doing what exactly?

If, if and if ps5..., i didn't see this level of defend when people said Switch would flop everywhere even in JP without any proof. And now, some people are trying to defend ps5 sales in JP even with the actual number. Double standards at it's finest. Quite hilarious.

This is honestly unrelated and was clearly governing your input on the topic. Lets leave the tit for tat console wars mentality outside of these discussions. 

The only reason why I jumped in to respond is because you said the idea of PS5 selling 200k in a week is a joke because its treadful software sales. PS5 has had weeks where its sold 50k hardware units and had zero software in the top 30. This shows the software charts can't be used to extrapolate what the PS5 could potentially sell in a week with supply able to meet demand. All we know is that demand is higher than supply. A portion of that is obviously scalpers, but at the end of the day famitsu doesn't distinguish between the two. How high it could sell is of course speculation

SO, you see where you fail trying to defend your argument? 

You say, PS5 will sell 200K+ only cause one store says so. But there is not games that make a contrast against the consoles sales or that demand...

Console sales flop = Software sales flop. Where the best sold game is Elden Ring with barely 160K copies. If what you say were true,  we'll see PS5 games keeping at  the top 10, or at least, we'll see ps4 games who people wanted to play in PS5, but they couldn't and furthermore, they must have to play the past version...

So, I really can't see any of your words like some with sense.

PD. OLED no stock issues in Japan? Rly man?

This generation is different. Many people are buying the ps5 and xbox series just for the backwards capabilities, enhanced and free upgrades, gamepass, ps plus collection. I got both xbox series s and ps5 and the only ps5 or xbox game I bought physically was ratchet and clank.
