No sales data for the PS5, but we do know that the Saudi market is booming and becoming an important market for Sony during this PS5 gen (Ranked 11th just behind Spain and Italy, to March 31, 2022).

MENA, China, Korea...
PlayStation is promoting in all the areas with growth potential!

Meanwhile Xbox has given up anywhere, and accepted defeat.

They flat out said it, yet we have Jez Cordon and his online army saying thst isn't the case.

Jez cordon:

In any case, and at least for right now, there seem to be no plans for Microsoft to fully give up on any of its existing Middle East regions, including Saudi Arabia, or indeed any existing support region

And when proven wrong his respond will either be:
- learn to read, I never stated that.
- Mental health, your all unfair meanies I'll stop with twitter.

And he'll make another tweet 1 hour later about another random topic.

Rumors swirl that Xbox is pulling out of Saudi Arabia and other Middle East regions, and now Microsoft has responded

A new report suggested that Xbox is planning to end Xbox sales in Saudi Arabia leading to widespread speculation about a total exit from the wider Middle East region.
