So Switch outsold PS5 by around 6:1 for the month. That price hike really did a number on Sony's console, combined with Switch remaining seemingly immortal in Japan.
Being just 15% down YOY is remarkable for a system's 8th year on the market.

If PS5 sales don't pick back up in it won't be long before it falls behind the PS4 launch aligned in Japan.

Yeah I'm not seeing anything in the short term that could change PS5's fortunes, short of a complete 180 on the price hike which seems unlikely.

I don't expect the Pro will do much to reignite their flame given its huge price tag in Japan and that even the current model's price seems be stifling enthusiasm.

Monster Hunter could give them a much needed shot in the arm next year, but that's still several months away.
