Comment on PS5 Price increase collapses PlayStation console sales in Japan, with Xbox gaining

Whilst it’s an oversimplification, if the old price only got Y sales then a higher new price was always only going to get a subset of Y.
Console sales go up over time in part because the price goes down, broadening the customer base. Sure, the library gets bigger over time too, but that’s barely happening either.

Plus people knew the increase was cunning, so I imagine there was a spike in sales just before hand.
