As first reported by VGC, the PlayStation 5 has experienced a remarkable surge in sales across the United States, driven by a wave of anticipation from consumers eager to secure the console before an impending price increase. This sales surge has brought the PS5 to new heights, marking a remarkable period for Sony’s flagship gaming hardware.
In a surprising turn of events, the PlayStation 5 has seen a significant decline in sales in Japan, selling only 558 units last week.

In a significant shift for gamers, Sony has announced that starting tomorrow, April 2, the PlayStation 5 will see a price increase across all models.
