The same reason people buy it in other regions: brand power. The basic brand promise of Playstation is: it eventually will have games. That was true for the early adopters of PS3 and PS4 as well, so the promise is unbroken and the brand has trust. |
The issue is that in other regions when the PS5 gets a decent boost for its stock, the games for it like Demon Souls and Miles show a noticeable increase in sales. That ain't happening in Japan even though Soulsborne usually sells great in Japan and Spider-Man PS4 was second to Ghost of Tsushima for the best selling first-party game on PS4. Like for fucks sake, the lowest game on the chart is in the two thousand range and you would think of the very least something for the PS5 would show up, when numbers get that low. Something about the PS5 software sales just doesn't make sense. The PS4 never had this problem when it came to selling software at any point in its life.
