The nonsense that was read years ago that the Playstation brand was dead in Japan, 2 million in 9 months are PS2 level figures.

The best Japanese leader wasn't Japanese at all. The land of the rising sun thanks you Jim Ryan.

PS5 needs 969k in weeks 40 to 53 to hit 3 million (2023 has an extra week). This is possible if it has a really big December.

PS5 is the first PS system to sell 2 million in a year since the PSP in 2010 and there are still 13 weeks of the year remaining. PS5's 2023 is currently 16th and will easily make the top 10.

Often times, especially with PlayStation, online talk is far from what reality has to say about it. And yet, people continue to doubt this highly successful brand (the most, depending on what metric). It is either them or Nintendo and I'm fine conceding to either one. It simply doesn't get bigger than those brands.

leads to fear. Fear leads to xbox.
The JIM RYAN ERA BAYYY BAYYY,
And people will go "oh well look her was fired, he didnt do his due diligence, he was bad for playstation"
The playstation 5 has done remarkably well regardless of a lack of more titles this year, spiderman will shoot its numbers to the stratosphere.
All the xbox fanboys can laugh Jim is gone, but if I were ya'll Id be taken a back because this was JIM RYANS ERA, what happens when they being someone in even better, xbox about to become a third party developer lol

Dang, PS5 hanging around PS2 numbers. Very impressive.
I mean, yeah Jim was a great executive, but this is not new territory for PlayStation. Sony has won the hardcore gaming market every generation it has existed in. Seems weird to give the majority of the credit for PS5's success to the guy.

That's because of the Xbox echo-chamber and 'real gamers' trying to gain e-credibility by trying to be neutral.Often times, especially with PlayStation, online talk is far from what reality has to say about it. And yet, people continue to doubt this highly successful brand (the most, depending on what metric). It is either them or Nintendo and I'm fine conceding to either one. But, it doesn't get bigger than Nintendo and PlayStation.
At some point, they became delusional. Forums are just a very tiny portion of the gaming audience.

Pretty amazing and not really a surprise but good to see. And they are still trying to strengthen their games over there as well. You got to give credit where credit is due as it seems to be working worldwide thanks to their management and portfolio of games.

Oh, I know. Just wanted to highlight that it's often the echo-chambers that dominate LaLa Land while everyone else lives on Planet Reality.

Those are all on Xbox too. Except the 3rd party exclusive FF16. Not one 1st party game this year?

Clearly PS5 sells without (1st party) exclusives. Which makes it even more impressive.

In Japan, this couldn't be more irrelevant.

This is quite funny considering the tone of media create threads for a decade was that PS consoles are completely doomed there.

It's a great day for powerful traditional dedicated home consoles in Japan. Long live the king!Kerotan I think you might be interested in reading about this milestone that the PS5 has achieved in Japan.
Currently dancing in celebration to this song. Twerking and shaking my bum while nodding my head and sucking in my lips incase anyone wants more details.

Inherited success. This is because PS5 is a desirable product and it is wanted because of hardware and ease of development which is mainly thanks to Cerny.
