We can say that the current year is the real year in which we will approve the actual sales of the PlayStation 5. Sony recently celebrated the global availability of the device after a full two-year period of shortages and difficulty in obtaining it.

PlayStation 5 sales increased by 98% year-on-year in the UK last month. It's clear that the huge surge in sales for the next-gen console indicates that it is comfortably available in markets.

At the beginning of the current generation, brokers were considered the first enemy of gamers all over the world, so getting the device at the original price was almost impossible. As it was possible to get it through them at double the price than the original officially approved price.

After that, we had an encounter with the Corona pandemic, which greatly affected the supply chains of global companies. This resulted in a significant shortage in the semiconductor industry, which is used in the manufacture of home appliances, including the PS5.

GamesIndustry.biz has released the figures in a report covering everything you need to know about UK video game sales in the month of January this year. Last month, 125,000 consoles were sold in the UK, the majority of which were PS5s. Notably, the launch of the God of War Ragnarok console bundle accounted for 55% of all devices sold.

The UK isn't the only part of the world where Sony devices are selling well. In Japan, for example, 100,000 units of the device were sold last week. This marks the best week the console has seen in the country since its launch. PlayStation has publicly stated that it expects its current console to break the PS4's sales record, which is certainly a good start.

We also believe that the performance of the device in Arabic was very good. Did you find it on the market normally, or is it still out of stock?
