Does it include PC? PS5 sales in Japan are average at best which might skew their titles to sells more on PC i.e. higher digital ratio I remember Elden Ring moved 1 million+ in Japan when it was only 270k retail combining PS4 (180k) and PS5 (90k), assuming a portion of those PS4 players went to PC or to digital-only PS5 the digital adoption must have increased a lot this gen |
It does include PC.
PS5 sales in Japan are only 1m short of PS4 (around 12%) but software is drastically worse, even if we were to imagine 1million of the recorded PS5 sales went to people outside of Japan the software ratio is still extremely off compared to the userbase.
Essentially before we even speak about PC we've just got to acknowledge that PS5 software sales are likely increasingly digital and the retail charts is not a good representation of what is selling on the platform. As mentioned Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was the best selling PS5 game on PSN in June 2026, 4th best selling in May etc. Meanwhile the PS5 SKU hasn't been seen on Famistu retail chart for 2 years. There's a huge part of the picture we're missing on Playstation software
