Around the Network

Feb 2022 Global (VGChartz) = 374,467
Feb 2022 Japan (Famitsu) = 65,496

Feb 2023 Global (VGChartz) = ???
Feb 2023 Japan (Famitsu) = 366,982  (+460% YoY)

Japan alone this year is almost higher than global sales last February. Phenomenal growth. Didn't expect the high weekly sales to last this long, thought 3 weeks at most before the stock would deal with the pent up demand. Just keeps going.

This probably won't happen but if this keeps up it'll reach a million by week 14. Either way this is gonna be quite a strong peak year for the PS5 here. Also relatively nice Switch week.



What are Playstation hardware's best months in Japan since the PS3? Is it safe to say this is their best non-December? How high does this rank among all months including December?

According to the VGChartz hardware tool there are only 3 months on record for PS3/PS4 that beat this month for PS5.

PS4 Launch month in Japan, PS4 in December 2016 the year PS4 Slim and Pro launched and PS3 in December 2009 the year PS3 Slim launched.

This February beats every other month for PS3/PS4 including all other holiday months.

PS3
Launch Month = 306,609 (December 2006)
Best February = 108,253 (February 2010)
Best Non-Holiday Month = 345,136 (September 2009) (PS3 Slim Launched 3rd September 2009 in Japan)
Best Month = 622,087 (December 2009)

PS4
Launch Month = 378,509 (February 2014)
Best February (Non-Launch) = 256,864 (February 2018)
Best Non-Holiday Month = 326,318 (January 2018)
Best Month = 533,518 (December 2016)

PS5
Launch Month = 203,213 (November 2020)
Best February = 366,982 (February 2023)
Best Non-Holiday Month = 366,982 (February 2023)
Best Month = 366,982 (February 2023)

So yeah, this is the most a PlayStation console has sold in one month in Japan since December 2016.
