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.

    Xbox gaining high percentage because they sell 100x less units than Sony.

    From that famitsu issue:

    Hardware Sales (followed by lifetime sales)

    Switch 2 – 59,543 (5,011,059)
    PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – 12,141 (1,248,515)
    Switch OLED Model – 7,468 (9,526,329)
    Switch Lite – 4,807 (6,903,964)
    Switch – 4,067 (20,0271,045)
    PlayStation 5 Pro – 840 (341,548)
    PlayStation 5 – 558 (5,910,474)
    Xbox Series X – 525 (325,952)
    Xbox Series X Digital Edition – 278 (29,362)
    Xbox Series S – 129 (341,622)
    

    So, PS5 digital non pro sold 12k units while the equivalent Xbox digital non pro sold 120 units.

    If next month a Japanese retailer does a clearance sale and sells 200 Xboxes the headline isn’t “Xbox got a massive 100% increase in sold units in Japan, while Sony tumbled 2%”
