PS collection has free games, PS5 is BC, digital ratio is unknown and some of the most popular games (Fortnite, Apex, Warzone) are F2P.

Any with common sense should know that counting PS5 only physical software is not the full story.

Also 30-50% scalped but with no data evidence lol

I do think there is scalping, as there is PS5 scalping globally. I haven't seen any data that leads one to calculate the ratio scalped though.

I said 30-40%, not 50% and it's just speculation anyway and I said it was. Don't take it seriously. Might as well be 70%.

As to digital being unknown, we know the digital of one of the biggest PS games this year and it's not very high.

wait so in japan its fine to take digital in mind that it will have an effect on physical, but when regarding the UK game pass doesn't effect sales?

We have UK digital numbers and PS still dominates Xbox.

Do you want to take the L for the 26th time?

Which is what the other poster was saying. Your number is meaningless.

1 game is not a market. Ideally we need a tracker, or dozens of data points across various volumes.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Japan: no market wide digital data

UK: we have data

Your point is wrong, your post is a flop and your reply is now going on some irrelevant tangent. lmao

straight up console warring on your part as usual, game pass replaces sales and a part of game pass users will double dip. game pass users of a game aren't counted as sales or revenue.

That you cant see that effect due to trolling or ignorance i don't really care

Why are we bringing up U.K sales in a Japanese thread?
Its obvious PS5 software sales in Japan are low, even after factoring in digital.
I believe there was a post in resetera (maybe of a tweet?) Where the estimated PS5 attach rate in Japan was below 1 even with digital.

Sony fans should just accept the PS5s fate in Japan and move on.
PS5 will still get good support (and hopefully soon! Ive been mostly playing PS4 games on it)



tag:"reviews only matter for the real hardcore gamer"

I've lost track, is 3 the most PS5 titles there has been in the top 30, or have we had a week or weeks with 4 or more?



Out of the more than 1.6 Billion PS4 games sold WW, only about 5% were sold in Japan.

The decline of the PS ecosystem started when the PS3 launched and Japan moved to handhelds and mobile games, acting like the decline started just a couple of years ago is nonsense.

What the future holds for the Ps ecosystem in Japan is to be seen.

No, I think that's the most there has been.
