Retail PS5 software sales in Japan were still under-performing for the console's 2nd year, in spite of Gran Turismo 7 and Horizon New Horizons both being given a boost through console pack bundles. It's worth to mention that:
-PS5 hardware stock is more readily available for the public there whereas Switch hardware has become hard to get in the past few weeks.
-some PS5 skus of new games are starting to get slightly higher numbers than their PS4 counterparts, such as God of War Ragnarok or Sonic Frontiers. But obviously, any new game that share a Switch release sell much better on the Nintendo hardware with most often a huge margin. For example:
-Only multiplatform (Switch/PS4/PS5) and Switch titles will be released until the end of this year, among them are Samurai Maiden, FF Crisis Core, EDF4.1 for NSW, Hokuto no Ken Fit Boxing, River City Girls 1+2, etc. Callisto Protocol
was refused a japanese release on the decision of the dev team, because of CERO's guidelines.
