The launch of PlayStation 5 was a success in several regions

Although Sony has not released official sales figures, we know that the next-generation console exceeded 100,000 units sold in Japan, where it far exceeded initial sales of Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.

In addition, the Sony console momentarily ended the Nintendo Switch sales streak in the Asian country. PlayStation 5 even caused the sites of various online stores to crash due to its high demand.

Sony confirmed today what many had already anticipated: the launch of the PlayStation 5 was a huge global success. The company said that this is its largest console premiere and that it is already preparing more units by the end of the year.
