Famitsu hardware sales data for the week ending 5th April reveals PS5 Pro sold 840 units in Japan, alongside 558 disc-based PS5 consoles. The cheaper Japanese language-only PS5 Digital Edition moved 12,141 units, for a total of 13,539 across all PS5 SKUs.
Sony raised PS5 prices effective 2nd April. Current prices stand at ¥55,000 (~$344) for PS5 DE Japan, ¥89,980 (~$562) for PS5 Digital Edition, ¥97,980 (~$612) for PS5, and ¥137,980 (~$862) for PS5 Pro.
Nintendo Switch dominated sales with 259,543 units, followed by Switch OLED at 7,468 and Switch Lite at 4,807. Xbox Series X sold 525 units, Series X DE 278, and Series S 129.
Sony states no plans to raise the price of the Japan-only edition yet. Push Square notes the disc-based models now cost nearly twice as much as the language-locked version.
