PS5 Prepares for a Massive Month in Japan with Montage Video | Push Square
PS5 has been doing fine in Japan, but it’s obviously common knowledge that Nintendo Switch is dominating the market in Sony’s homeland.
In truth, there’s probably not a lot the PlayStation maker can do to reverse this situation, but the months ahead will be important for the PS5 domestically, as evidenced by this montage trailer.
It all starts with Monster Hunter Wilds, which is going to be an imperative release for PlayStation in the region. It’s got the marketing rights for the Capcom sequel and has prepared various hardware promotions, so let’s see how well it performs.
Of course, one game alone is not really enough, but PS5 is actually assembling a reasonably strong lineup for Japan this year. This trailer spotlights a series of key titles, including Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Elden Ring: Nightreign, Atelier Yumia, and more.

It’s a compelling offering which is sure to motivate Japanese and Western consumers alike, but with the Switch 2 looming, Sony’s going to have to work for every sale – especially in its home territory.

«Michael» and «Perfect Day» come to mind, among many others that prove that Sony's ad game is world class.
They can always cut the price. That will bring a large boost to sales in Japan (and the rest of the world).
With Monster Hunter Wilds releasing so soon I predict the PS5 sales are about to skyrocket in Japan, atleast for a week or two
