Jesus, guess they truly did run out of PS5 stock. Being lower than Xbox is not something you see everyday. Would have been pretty funny if it had also been below PS4.



Try out my free game on Steam

2024 OpenCritic Prediction Leagues:

Nintendo | PlayStation | Multiplat

Launching a block buster hit title like SM2 made people stop buying PS5 they want the GAAS after all Jim Ryan was right lol! when does the new slim launch anyway?



Sony didn't even leave enough PS5's for the Japanese to buy before the price hike kicks in...








Around the Network

I guess Sony will send more PS5s to Japan when they feel like it.



This must be the beginning of the Xbox Series overtaking the PS5 in Japan. Really though it's unfortunate there's gonna be yet one more week of this and now it's no longer a sure thing the PS5 reaches 2.5m this year. Hopefully sales are good when the slim launches despite the price hike.



Highest weeks one and two (Famitsu).

PS5 behind Xbox in Japan, ouch!

Switch seems to keep a 60k baseline now.



60k a week in so good especially for a console that is heavily rumoured to be replaced next year.
