So to the idea that the PS5 has sold that number of consoles in Japan is not correct, the problem is that no one knows what split is for scalped units. The only thing you can do is to try and extrapolate some sold through numbers by guesstimating from software sales which have been consistently in the <3 k range outside of a few big titiles like RE8, Tales of Arise and Elden Ring.
Having sold 1.6 mill consoles it would make no sense to only sell <3000 copies to that audience. So its a anyones discretion to try and figure out what the actual numbers of PS5 in are. They are not 1.6 million - and iirc there was a suggestion once that half of the consoles were scalped. But even that doesnt tally up with the software sales. There is good chance that the total of PS5s are a fair bit lower than half of the shipped numbers in my view seeing how the PlayStation software sales have totaly cratered in Japan.
