edit: My mistake adding the Series sales. Added the PS4 sales instead, which is why i mentioned 4k when it should've been +3.5k. If a mod could edit the title i'd appreciate it.

PS4 sold 2X Series X?

 

[Nautilus]

About time PS5 hardware and software had a genuily good week.

Switch is doing ok.Obviously already hit market saturation.

 

[Kerotan]

The PS5 is basically Godzilla in Japan. It's DESTROYING EVERYTHING.

Good to see Turismo enter the chart and Hogwarts dominating the software. The big challenge is keeping these stock number's until FF launches.

 

[Duchess]

Hardware:
PS5 – 81,798
PS5 Digital Edition – 11,776

Good to see optical drive PS5s are still popular. Maybe it's for also using to watch Ultra HD Blu-ray.

 

[adamsapple]

Forspoken already out of the top 10.

 

[Ronin_7]

PlayStation 5 is absolutely unstoppable. All of this before Monster Hunter, Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy franchises Hit

 

[Elios83]

PS5 90k vs 6.4k last year.
A huge turnaround in hardware supply.
At this rate FFXVI will have a nice installed base for it in June.

Wow, Hogwarts Legacy on PS5 alone sold MORE THAN DOUBLE God of War Ragnarok. What a launch. This will be so big globally.

Here's the full rundown on the software charts for 07/11/2022 - 13/11/2022:

3. [PS5] God of War Ragnarok (SIE, 11/09/22) – 29,377 (New)
"

 

[Another Iori]

I was surprised to see anything related to the 2DS/3DS generation still on the charts after all this time, but it's also true that the total number doesn't even reach the three digits.

Does anyone know if Steam Deck has been marketed in Japan? If so, how did it go?

Must be all those Chinese scalpers buying up all those copies!

[Bragr]

Hogwarts came at the perfect time for Playstation, right when the PS5 stock hit the stores.

 

[Interfectum]

PS5 is really surging everywhere. Wild to see. Ample stock, Last of US HBO and Hogwarts is like a critical triple hit that even have it surging in Japan.

Forspoken already out of the top 10.

PS5 outselling Series consoles 25 to 1.
PS4 outselling Series X 2 to 1.
Microsoft game hasn't charted since when?

C'mon buddy I know you can do better because I've seen you do better.

 

[jroc74]

PS4 means life.

 

[Physiognomonics]

I am still surprised about those PS4 sales and the YoY growth from last year. I really don't understand why they seemingly stopped producing PS4s since 2019. They clearly could have sold plenty of those during the 20/21 and 22 years. It was a mistake and based on those sales they seem to have understood it was.

PS4 is as good as PS5 when most games are cross-gen and services available also on PS4.

 

[leo-j]

Ps5 just passed ps4 aligned sales….. unprecedented tbh

Guess its a good thing they also have a marketing deal for another game....

It's a Square Enix game ...

 

[TheTony316]

PS5 topping the chart 3 weeks in a row.

HL super understocked

And it's just the beginning.

 

[Captain Toad]

I guess the argument of whether PS5 low sales in Japan was due to no stock or no demand has finally been put to rest.

I still don't understand why Sony held stock from that territory in favor of others, but that's my job.

 

[Tripolygon]

I still don't understand why Sony held stock from that territory in favor of others, but that's my job.

Demand is stronger in other territories. Other territories sell easily 10x what Japan sells for both hardware and software.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Your thinly veiled trolling is getting tiresome. Like the other poster said.....do better.

 

[Captain Toad]

Demand is stronger in other territories. Other territories sell easily 10x what Japan sells for both hardware and software.

I understand that, but Japan was getting almost nothing. There wasn't a territory that wasn't going to immediately sell out. Japan is an important territory due to how much of the gaming industry is located there.

It is an important region, even if less populated than places like North America.

 

[nial]

It's insane how much PS5 sales have improved compared to 2021 and 2022, which were ROUGH.

PS4 means life.

Legendary console to this day.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Demand is stronger in other territories. Other territories sell easily 10x what Japan sells for both hardware and software.

Actually...PS5 is selling almost 100k for weeks in Japan. It sold 270k in Japan over the past 3 weeks alone in there. This means it's their 2nd biggest market right now.

You guys really underestimate Japan for Sony. The UK had like 300k consoles sold last month overall. PS5 is selling that alone in Japan.

 

[Spitfire098]

Getting the HP marketing rights was a huge W for Sony.

 

[jm89]

I guess the argument of whether PS5 low sales in Japan was due to no stock or no demand has finally been put to rest.

I still don't understand why Sony held stock from that territory in favor of others, but that's my job.

USA and UK are places where ps could have lost marketshare, as those places Xbox has a decent foothold. Would make sense to send most ps5s to those areas.

[NoobSmog]

There wasn't a lot of software that would have sold well in japan so they were diverting hardware elsewhere. You can see that with the god of war results. They probably want to have a ton of ps5 stock for japan with ff16 coming up now though.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Ps5 is flying in Japan now.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

About time PS5 hardware and software had a genuily good week.

SOFTWARE?

Software is atrocious, harry potter is the only mark on the board and it's in a slow month and front-loaded next to older Nintendo releases.

 

[hemo memo]

People buying regular Switch instead of OLED.. what are you doing?

 

[hemo memo]

Hardware only. Software is dominated by Nintendo unsurprisingly.

Lol I know.But at least it has *some* software to accompany it, so much so that the 90k PS5 sold this week makes more sense. That's what I mean.

Software is still horrible though.

 

[Nautilus]

Hardware only. Software is dominated by Nintendo unsurprisingly.

Oh yeah, completely agree. I'm just happy that at least a title sold well this week on PS5( Hogwarts legacy), so hardware sales makes a bit more sense.

But PS software is still horrible.

Perfect for Game Pass.

Perfect for Game Pass.

Who knows if MS are even interested in bank rolling it after the 2 year exclusivity period TBH.

I fully expect it to launch on PS+ within this calendar year.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Fire Emblem Engage has only sold 200,000 units in Japan? That's seems low
