But we are talking about sales WW this year, its unlikely that the non Japan Asian console market will become so much bigger in 1 year that it can help PS5 overtake Switch 2 in WW sales this year, that depends almost fully on sales in NA, Europe and Japan. Switch 2 will already get a large boost in sales in March just from Pokopia, taking its monthly sales in Japan from over 300k to over 500k or even more most likely. Europe is the place PS5 is most dependant on, and i think PS5 will continue to outsell Switch 2 there, the question is more if any of Nintendo's games can close the gap a little to PS5 in Europe, if they are able to do that then the WW sales are a done deal, because PS5 is done in Japan for the most part. |
OK, let me try to explain this to you as clearly as possible.
January sales estimates:
PS5 lead over S2 in NA is 9.1k
PS5 lead over S2 in Europe is 108.4k
PS5 lead over S2 in Europe+NA is 117.5k
PS5 lead over S2 in Asia(excluding Japan) is ~130k
i.e. the PS5 advantage in Non-Japan Asia is bigger than USA and Europe combined. This leads to the clearly logical conclusion that Asia is incredibly important to the PS5 sales, and not just Europe and USA.
