As long as software sales are garbage, I doubt many of these consoles are sold to Japanese gamers. Rather they are exported to China, which is something that's happening and wasn't that big during the PS3 days, due to China being a lot poorer back then.

Playstation sells a lot more digital media. Ghost of Tsushima sold more than 1 million units in Japan alone, only a small part was on physical media. Physical media sales don't matter for Playstation

Isn't it much more likely that Switch is being exported to China since it is cheaper?  Why would a console as popular as the Switch be shunned by the Chinese?

That was a PS4 game and a year later on PS5, PS5 is the one with the terrible software sales. 

They both are, though to what extend ? This is a nebulous point in this whole affair. From the software charts alone, you'd think the proportion of Switch hardware being exported there isn't too big.

Earlier reports of PS5 exports pointed out that a large portion of it's sales at one point were allocated to exportation. Software sales charts seems to indicate so, yet no numbers have been given to know what proportions we are speaking here.

This is factually untrue, as the Insomniac leaks have shown us. Most Playstation games have a digital ratio of around 30-40%, far below the ratio needed to explain away the disastrously low physical software sales. 

This is false.  We don't have any real indication of software sales of the PS5 or Xbox in Japan because more than half are digital and those sales are not recorded by Famitsu.  Please stop tying to make it a fact when it isn't.  You are replacing the absence of information with your own facts. You don't know what percentage of Switch and PS5 are exported.  Switch exports could very well be higher and you wouldn't know just like I don't know. 

Those are some fantastic software sales.

Anyone have a comparison between Super Mario Bros Wonder and New Super Mario Bros Wii?

Curious how they compare over the holidays, even if Wonder has digital sales.
