The framework for soft leptogenesis minimally extended with a dark matter (DM) sector is studied. A heavy singlet neutrino superfield acts as the source for (s) lepton asymmetry and by coupling to the singlet DM superfield it produces a DM particle density through decays. The nature of DM generated is twofold depending on whether the Yukawa and DM couplings are either small or large. With sufficiently small Yukawa and DM couplings DM annihilations into minimal supersymmetric standard model particles are slow and as a consequence all DM particles form the DM component. The solutions to Boltzmann equations are given and the dependence between the DM masses and coupling are presented in this weak coupling regime. Also, the behavior of the efficiency of producing asymmetric DM is determined with weak couplings. We note that a different outcome arises if the couplings are larger because then the asymmetric DM component is dominant due to the effectiveness of DM decays into the minimal supersymmetric standard model sector.
