The story of The Joker and the Phantom Thief began on September 15, 2016 on PS3 and PS4 in Japan, and took a new turn six years later with the cross-platform launch of Persona 5 Royal. As with Nier Automata, age didn’t stop such a popular game from releasing on Switch with very impressive numbers, approaching 46,000 sales. Inevitably, the PS5 port was of little use, with just over 5,000 units sold. As a reminder, Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal sold 345,000 and 200,000 units respectively in their original week in Japan. For the record, Gotham Knights sold 3,125 on PS5, ranking 13th.so hard, japan
In terms of console sales, PS5 sales reached 2 million units this week, a milestone that Japan crossed just days after the UK. Due to the shortage, the PS5 will take 102 weeks to complete this route, making it the slowest PlayStation out there. In the same period, Japan has 7 million PS2, 4 million PSP, 2.4 million PS3, 2.4 million PS4, and 2.1 million PS Vita. On the other hand, the PS5 can always brag about doing better than the Wii U, Dreamcast, WonderSwan, NeoGeo Pocket, and all Xboxes. We try to comfort each other as much as possible.
