PS5 Price Hike Hits Japan Hard as PS5 Pro Sales Sink to Xbox Levels
Sony's recent price increase for the PlayStation 5 in Japan has led to a significant drop in sales for the standard and Pro models, with only 840 PS5 Pro consoles sold in the week ending April 5th. The cheaper, Japanese language-only PS5 Digital Edition, however, sold over 12,000 units, highlighting a market preference for affordability. This contrasts sharply with the Nintendo Switch's continued strong performance in the region.
