Europe is up 202% YOY for the PS5 according to Chris Dring. 

Using VGC numbers for last year that puts Europe at 422k for PS5 in Jan, 283k higher than last year.

So

Jan 2022 (Global) - 691k

Jan 2023 (Japan) - Up 81k YoY
Jan 2023 (Europe) - Up 283k YoY

So even putting RoW and USA as flat the PS5 would already be at 1.05m sales for January 2023.

Fantastic Numbers.

Edit: Or maybe not exactly 

Trunks from the article - "Yes and no. The Europe report from GamesIndustry doesn't include UK, Germany, and most of Eastern Europe. But we do get a UK report. While the report doesn't include Germany sales based on previous years sales we can get rough estimates based on UK sales."

PS5 Best-Selling Console in Europe in January as Sales Increased 202% (vgchartz.com)

Sales in the UK were up 98%. I also wouldn't expect sales to be up nearly as much in our "OEurope" as it includes Russia, which due to its war against Ukraine has had consoles pulled from its market.

PS5 sales across all of Europe for January is more likely around 350K.
