The PS4 is dead long live the PS4

Xbox Series does seem to be doing better than the One so far? I think the One had somewhat lower sales after 7 months.

I mean yes, but 36,000 in sales after 7 months is still abysmal

you should include Xbox Series S sales as well!

Why does Microsoft even try in Japan at this point? Localization must cost more than the money they're making from that market.

---

I'm curious if the 20k for Intergrade is as bad as it sounds? I don't know what Japanese numbers usually look like.

---

I'm betting that only includes the physical copies and the free upgrade isn't counted

The PS4 version sold one million copies its 1st week and is Over 5 million at this point

---

Is that just in Japan or globally?

---

Japan

---

Uh, FF7R definitely isn't over 5 million in Japan.

I assume having a Japanese presence makes it more likely for Japanese publishers/developers to put games on the console (where they'll sell better in the West).

Then I'll assume Google lied to me on that fact

---

Im having fun with this thing, Ive almost finished all the tutorial games and actually have an idea or two of my own to try afterward.

---

the rise in xbox sales might be because of indie live expo coverage come to think of it

i think they had stuff on xbox in it, maybe

It outsold Ratchet and Clank...

For comparison, RE8's first week in Japan:
3. [PS4] Resident Evil Village 111,171 / NEW
6. [PS5] Resident Evil Village 38,713 / NEW

Japan just isn't really buying PS5 software right now.
---

Well not much point buying ps5 software when you can't get a ps5
