If not FFXVI, spider-man certainly willJune, I wonder if it will be the first game to get a console with custom faceplates.
Now that the shortages are almost over there should be room to do these special edition consoles again.
It only took 2 years and 4 months!
Yay?
Damn, scalpers must have a very robust logistics chain to send all these to China./s
i always heard the Japanese aren't buying consoles because they are too big and couldn't fit in their apartments.
The PS4 sold 9m in Japan.i always heard the Japanese aren't buying consoles because they are too big and couldn't fit in their apartments.
Kind of... It's more like, yeah they prefer smaller, portable hardware. But since there hasn't been a home console launch basically since the PS4 in Japan 9 years ago, they are starved for new hardware. And PS5 is clearly really good hardware, so now that they're able to produce more, there's that latent demand that needs to be satisfied before we see where a new baseline can be established.i always heard the Japanese aren't buying consoles because they are too big and couldn't fit in their apartments.
i hope stellar blade is a great game.If they continue to do those 300k numbers every month, I think there's a good chance for the PS5 to top 6 million sales by the end of this year. FFVII Rebirth following FFXVI will certainly help a lot.
And if it is, I'm hoping it gets a good audience in Japan.i hope stellar blade is a great game.
And? Passing the PS3 and PS4 launch alligned isn't something to be that proud about(just 3 million while your competition was around 10 - 12 million in the same timeframe), on top of simply having Abysmal software sales, which puts into question how many PS5 are staying on Japan.The PS5 hit 1 million units in Japan faster than the PS4, but then fell behind, and now has overtaken it again. Would you like to venture a guess what may have happened in the last couple of years to cause it to fall behind?

Supply constrained for 2 years and 2 monthsIt only took 2 years and 4 months!
Yay?
429k as of Feb 20-26 week, so basically 2x higherWhat are the Famitsu's LTD numbers for Series X|S?
IIRC, they are significantly different than these. Anybody has that data?

I think the ps5 will have good legs in Japan, it's graphics are not being challenged by Nintendo and PC gaming is still niche, also the console runs way quieter than previous generations.

Plus, the recent well performance is exactly because of the reason of the stuff you implied: Repressed demand. Once that demand is satisfied, it begs the question: What is the PS5's true demand? I guess only time will tell.
Anyone downplaying the fact that a global pandemic happened isn't worth arguing with.And the PS5 started off hot out the gate and got immediately kneecapped by supply shortages. They're finally over those shortages and have begun to make up ground by catching up to and passing their last 2 home consoles in the region. That's a noteworthy data point and that's what's being discussed here. It's especially noteworthy given the narrative that's been spread over the last while that PlayStation is no longer relevant in Japan. They don't need to surpass the Switch to be relevant. By selling faster than the PS4 and PS3 it shows us that they're trending upwards versus their last 2 models. We'll have to wait and see how they do against the PS1 and PS2.
Indeed, time will tell how things go as we're still at the very beginning of their renewed push and we can only guess how far they'll go.
Sony slowing down ps4 was very detrimental….. it’s clear there is demand as it’s selling thousands in year 10 in Japan, hopefully ps5 sales continue to do crazy numbers and it cruises past 10 million in Japan for the generation, PlayStation needs a resurrection post psp/ps3.According to some sales age clowns on other sites the PlayStation home console was on terminal decline last Gen. Despite the fact ps4 outsold the ps3 for much of it's Gen and only fell behind in the end because it didn't get one final price drop or adequate supply.
Now have the ps5 and it's proven after the massive decline ps3 suffered Vs ps2 the market has stabilized. Not only that but the ps4 and 5 in Japan are making Sony so much more mullah compared to ps3 which was losing profits.
Good times ahead!
surprising, taking into account that it takes 40% of the space in most Japanese homes.
i always heard the Japanese aren't buying consoles because they are too big and couldn't fit in their apartments.
Yeah, thats why the series s is doing do well in japan, they fit in their tiny little capsule apartments
The PS4 sold 9m in Japan.
That is a lot of consoles for country with small apartments.
They opted to live inside them now.surprising, taking into account that it takes 40% of the space in most Japanese homes.
