I read that PS5 sales are kind of low because they are clearing out stock for the new model. Anyone know if thats true?

I think a lot of the old models are being bundled this holiday. MW3 has a bundle, and Spiderman 2 has a new bundle on top of the limited edition one. So yea, they have been clearing tons of stock and more than likely you will see larger sales in other regions not Japan.

Spiderman 2 will be a big this month and into next in Japan. But more stock is allocated for christmas buying season in UK/EU/US Markets.

I see the prices and they look high but then convert them and I was expecting it to convert to around 600 dollars but it's just 400 dollars for the disc version. That's actually way better than I expected.

I hope sales improve, I hope it's just a short term dip.

The lower stock levels this week and over the coming weeks are probably linked to the arrival of the "PS5 Slim".

unfortunately conversion rates dont help the japanese, the OLED Switch is still being sold for ~¥38,000 with bundled game.

Should be that way because, domestic items.
Right. Hiroki Totoki should get in there and slap SIE's american ass and knock some sense into it. Sony is a japanese company, japan is home territory, don't gouge your homies.

He absolutely will. He doesn't value gaming.
