Earlier this week, a major gaming milestone was achieved as the PS5 surpassed 3 million sales in Japan. It’s an encouraging sign for a console that struggled to gain traction initially. However, with Sony’s stock issues resolved, PS5 sales have rapidly increased worldwide.
Recent reports show that PS5 sales have increased by an astonishing 427% year-over-year in Japan. Over 360,000 units were sold in February alone, and this momentum has carried through into March.
Although the PS5 has been trailing behind the PS4 until now, the current trajectory shows a promising future for Sony’s latest system. This is especially true if it continues to deliver impressive figures over an extended period.
As we previously mentioned, the PS5 release schedule is looking packed in the near future. With Resident Evil 4 just around the corner and Final Fantasy XVI expected to be pushed heavily in Japan, all eyes will be on the PS5’s sales numbers once these highly anticipated titles are released.
