Lowest PlayStation 5 Sales in Japan?
PlayStation 5 first launched in Japan on November 12 last year. But unfortunately, the launch even got scathing criticism from analysts and gamers in the country. This is because Sony is accused of no longer prioritizing Japanese gamers as before.
The CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment – Jim Ryan also had time to dismiss the accusations from the warganet. He said that Japan is still one of their top priorities, even very important for the company. Especially when we know that Sony is located in Japan.
Lowest PlayStation 5 Sales in Japan?
But reality says otherwise. Which revealed that sales of the next-gen console were very low in Japan. We can know this itself through the latest sales statistics for the PlayStation 5 in Japan, which were reported from the Japanese edition of gameindustry.biz.
Over the past 6 weeks, there have only been around 240,000 PS5 units launched in Japan. In addition, even if sales continue, the total sales of these consoles will likely only equal half the sales of Sony’s previous consoles.
Nintendo Dominate Japan’s Console Market
Furthermore, this analysis will continue to apply for the next few years. If you look at the graph given, it is true that the sales of the PlayStation 5 are very low. Even Sony’s console sales are far different when compared to Nintendo.
PS5 sales also seem to be inferior to sales of previous consoles, namely the PSP, PS3, VITA and PS4. This may be the reason why Sony is no longer focused on the Japanese market. Especially when it comes to knowing that Nintendo fully controls the local market.
In its first month, the PlayStation 5 alone sold more than 3.4 million units worldwide. What is your opinion about this? Give your opinion.
