Talking about single platform digital ratio PS is over 20% but there is no way to know how much over that.
2022 digital probably increased.
That breaks the narrative digital sales in Japan doesn’t exists… well the narrative is weird when there is gamers there with digital only consoles

That was just Nintendo fanboy bullshit to try to minimize PlayStation’s success.Seems like in 2021 Nintendo and Sony split digital sales in 50/50.

What's the situation with PS5 hardware over there? Is it fully in stock and we're seeing a new baseline? Or is the baseline lower, and the only thing keeping it in line with last week is RE4? Odd to me that RE4 wouldn't boost HW sales given the lack of similar games on the platform.
Remakes of games that have been ported to everything short of toasters aren’t big system sellers in any market.
I can’t say anything until PS5 doesn’t have supply issues like happened this week.
Thanks for sharing the latest Japan hardware and software sales with us! Damn, Resident Evil 4 is killing it on both PS5 and PS4! And the Switch OLED is still holding strong with its sales. I'm lowkey surprised to see Xbox Series X, and S sales are still so low. Wonder what's up with that? But hey, I'm not here to judge. Those software sales look pretty impressive, especially Resident Evil 4. If any of y'all are looking for work in the gaming industry, you should check out a software sales recruitment agency. They might have some sweet gigs available. Keep on gaming!
