Japanese PS5 Sales Slump as New Model Hype Begins to Die Off

Here’s how the sales data looks for 24th November to 30th November in Japan (via Gematsu):

  1. Switch 2 – 97,677
  2. PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – 17,491
  3. Switch OLED Model – 16,004
  4. PlayStation 5 Pro – 15,736
  5. Switch Lite – 12,896
  6. Switch – 6,427
  7. PlayStation 5 – 2,559
  8. Xbox Series X Digital Edition – 64
  9. Xbox Series X – 52
  10. Xbox Series S – 56
  11. PlayStation 4 – 13

Emulating the Nintendo approach, this new PS5 model specific to Japan launched at a cheaper price (from ¥72,980 (~$473) down to ¥55,000 (~$350)) compared to the standard version. To account for this reduction, the model only works in Japanese and requires the use of a Japanese PSN account, effectively rendering it useless outside of the country.
