In Japan, sales of the PS5 reached 100,000 during the week ending February 5. Sony’s new-gen format managed to move 93,026 units overall for the seven-day week, capping off a meteoric rise for the device. The device had been struggling in its home market due to supply issues. The company had stated that the stock would rise in 2023, and so far, they have kept their word.
