Can we get a chart that shows ps3, vs ps4, vs ps5 in japan
I feel that if we can see how all 3 are comparing to each other we can get a better guesstimate of the ps5's projections rather then just arguing with each other about what and what isn't reliable data

If I recall correctly the ps4 is at the low 9 millions while the ps3 is around 10.5 million, and we all know how slow the ps3 started off

Wait I don't understand
Some people are trying to say there is not much demand for the PS5 in Japan because it doesn't sell many each week, even though every single PS5 that gets shipped there is instantly sold out.

With this lack of intelligence, one has to wonder how that manage to cross the street without getting hit by a bus

The original insinuation was that the PS5 could sell 200k each week for some time without supply issues, I disagreed and it devolved from there.

An important point that has not been mentioned here is the scarcity principle:
"The rarer or more difficult it is to obtain a product, offer, or piece of content is, the more valuable it becomes. Because we think the product will soon be unavailable to us, we're more likely to buy it than if there were no impression of scarcity"

Or what do you think? I'm not saying this is the absolute truth, but can help to give an idea about how if PS5 & XSX would be avaiable for everyone and everyone knew they are avaiable for everyone, a lot of people that would get one today, wouldn't buy it until another factor happens (Like a New Game).

So PS5 is on par with PS4 and below Wii U and PS3. Interesting. Thanks!

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?

Who said switch would be a flop in Japan? Forget the game sales data. There were many Nintendo fans saying ps5 would be a flop during the first month of release just because of shortages

I said software sales can't be used to dismiss that potential and I used the store as evidence that current demand is way higher than supply. If the system can sell 50k with zero titles in the top 30, why would it need to have lots of software sales to manage 200k?

We get console sales, so we don't need to look at the software chart. We could look at software to understand that many PS5's are being resold to surrounding countries (i.e not staying in Japan), but as I said, Famitsu (and any other source) will not distinguish between that and the bottom line is we will see "PS5 has sold X" amount of consoles in Japan for that given week.
