Take in account that by now, even without price hikes from 2023 onwards, the PS5 would be down in sales in Japan, just like it's in the US, so in all scenarios it's okay the PS5 to be down from it's 2023 levels. PS5 did between 35 and 55k per week for most of the time in 2023. Take the price cuts and hikes out of the situation, and by late 2025 it's okay PS5 to do around 35k, slight drop from it's 2023 level. So it's not bad. The more important question here is if it will keep this new baseline. To me it seems like PS5 just went back on course, on the course it was going to be anyway, without doing any price hikes and cuts, assuming it keeps the level of course .. |
That’s a fair point… IDK I guess with it being the holiday season, and the “demand bottleneck” is currently being “popped open,” I guess I was just expecting a lot more at least for these first few weeks. If PS5 could move nearly 100k in a single week with the launch of the Slim model in 2023, I would’ve thought something similar could be achieved upon dropping a major price cut.
