The Famitsu data includes several days before the unwelcome announcement. Even so, buyers are already shying away from PlayStation consoles that are straining wallets . The PS5 with optical drive moved 558 units, down from 2,801 sold the week before. Not faring any better, adoption of the Pro went from 4,662 to 840.
I’m willing to bet it’s at least in part to anchor a higher price for the PS6. It’ll “only” be a little more expensive than this, so why not buy it?
