PS4 Outsells the PS5 in Japan, Both the Standard and Digital Combined, Highlights Struggle to Meet Inventory Demands



Famitsu published the latest two-week sales numbers, encompassing the period between December 21, 2020 to January 3, 2021. During this time, the standard PS4 outsold both the PS5 and PS5 Digital combined.
The PlayStation 4 sold 30,482 units during those two weeks (with an additional 112 sales of the PS4 Pro), while the PS5 and PS5 Digital combined only reached 23,820. The strength of the previous generation highlights an apparent struggle to keep up with demand for the new console. Still, these numbers pale in comparison to the runaway success of the Nintendo Switch, which sold nearly 600,000 (between Switch and Switch Lite) during that same period.
