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

Xbox gaining high percentage because they sell 100x less units than Sony.
From that famitsu issue:
Hardware Sales (followed by lifetime sales)
Switch 2 – 59,543 (5,011,059) PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – 12,141 (1,248,515) Switch OLED Model – 7,468 (9,526,329) Switch Lite – 4,807 (6,903,964) Switch – 4,067 (20,0271,045) PlayStation 5 Pro – 840 (341,548) PlayStation 5 – 558 (5,910,474) Xbox Series X – 525 (325,952) Xbox Series X Digital Edition – 278 (29,362) Xbox Series S – 129 (341,622)
So, PS5 digital non pro sold 12k units while the equivalent Xbox digital non pro sold 120 units.
If next month a Japanese retailer does a clearance sale and sells 200 Xboxes the headline isn’t “Xbox got a massive 100% increase in sold units in Japan, while Sony tumbled 2%”

I sold two lemonades at my street corner.
With a DOUBLED sale rate from yesterday, and a continuous rate of growth from the past two days, I’m already looking to internationalize the business and establish 800 new offices!
