Katana_Strikes · Nov 27, 2020

Spain did love the PSP. Great launch though to have a few more available than PS4.

Jawbreaker · Nov 27, 2020

Regarding Spain:

Says all PS5 stock is (of course) sold out, and the new stock they're receiving in December is already completely reserved.

They're unsure when More Series X consoles will be stocked (possibly January), but some Series S stock is still sitting in stores.

GamingCJ · Nov 27, 2020

Congrats to Sony for having the biggest home console launch ever in Spain (probably?).
Interesting that Series S didn't sell out. Does someone know of XB1 sold out at launch?

Astandahl · Nov 27, 2020

Crazy how fast PS5 has gone sold out in Spain even with so much stock available.
This year has been wild for gaming.

Switch sold 44.673 apparently, so it still holds the record. That was close!

-girgosz- · Nov 27, 2020

It looks like Sony could have sold this thing for 600/700$ and it still would have sold out.

Unforunately we won't know the real demand for either of the during launch.

As pointed out earlier, the Switch launch was slightly higher.
The Xbox One did not sell out at launch in the vast majority of European markets. The Xbox Series X did sell out and the Xbox Series S didn't.
It's a great debut for the PlayStation 5. Hopefully Sony will be able to provide more shipments soon, but early reports aren't so positive on that, unfortunately.

Ah OK, didn't see that post regarding the Switch.
Funny how similar PS5 launches in Japan and Spain are, with both countries receiving roughly 1 PS5 per 1000 inhabitants. I wouldn't be surprised this ratio applies to a lot of countries, with USA, UK and maybe Germany being the disproportional exceptions.
Also interesting that in Japan PS5's second week was >30% of launch numbers, whereas Spain is said to have restocks not sooner than December.

Some additional information from Vandal podcast:
- PS5 second shipment is sold out. For this one, it is not going to be possible to get consoles from shops, only home deliveries are allowed. Near 20.000 units that will arrive by December 15th. Retailers do not expect to have units of PS5 consoles on shelves until March-April.
- Nintendo Wii launch sales: 15.000 units.

PS4 sold 150k in Spain in 2013, PS5 would have a long way to go to reach that figure if its only 63k by mid-December. Seems a bit concerning to me, but I guess we don't have the full picture yet.

It is about stock, not demand.

Well yeah, its a potentially concerning situation for PS5's stock. We all know demand is through the roof.

Seems hard to believe that there will be so much difference in stock levels. Really hard.

We are talking about less than half.

It could be that Vandal have got the number wrong, or maybe Sony plan to allow more pre-orders for that stock soon, or maybe there's going to be a huge amount of stock coming in the second half of December. Maybe PS5 will be way down on PS4 due to post launch shipments, but it could just be Spain is low on the priority list this time, or it could be a sign of a trend. We've got no way of telling what's actually going on yet, but its an interesting thing to follow and speculate. This is why I enjoy following sales.

I really wish we could get the UK launch figures to get more of a full picture.

There are making more ps5 then ps4 in the same time frame, so it is easy to see what they are doing.

There are alocating most of their stock on the markets where Xbox is competing and making everybody else waiting until April/May.

which markets are those? Thought onlyUS/UK was the main concern. The info we got from the countries with numbers seem to be much lower compared to PS4 launch.

Sony must be sending out a ton in only certain countries at this point

Hero_Select · Nov 27, 2020

They did however.. for whatever insane reason, choose to up the game to $70 after Sony said their games would be getting the price increase.

Baffling. People were already meh on your game, increasing the price made it even less appealing

Boths does markets yes, there is also the fact that they launch in Japan day 1 compare to 4 months later on the ps4. Most european countrys are suffering from much lower stock compare to the ps4, so, unless they are lying then yah, it seems US/UK are the main markets right now.

El Manco · Nov 27, 2020

I am not sure about new shipments in December, but I guess they will try hard in PlayStation Spain to get more stock for January 6th (Día de Reyes).

Which countries? For now Spain for example has higher stock compared to PS4 launch (small difference but still).

Early rumors refere to a very low stock for Belgium, Netherlands and the Scandinavia countrys, i also think the stock in Portugal is much lower compare to the ps4.

Right now is speculation, until we have numbers(which i doubt we will).

GamingCJ · Nov 27, 2020

Thinking about it, that 150k figure just seems odd to me.
If PS4 could sell 38k in launch week (ending December 1, 2013) and reached 150k about 4 weeks later, that would mean Sony managed to ship almost as many units in each December week as in launch week.
This is completely at odds with worldwide numbers that indicated Sony shipped about as many PS4 units in the entire December as in its launch week.

So far we can compare numbers of November 2020 VS. November 2013 in two countries, Spain and Japan. In both cases PS5 sales > PS4.

There were no sales in Japan in November 2013,

Im not saying that the stock of the ps5 is not bigger then the ps4, i believe it is. It is just shame we dont have the UK numbers, that whould clear up a lot of things.

Seems like there were multiple PS4 restocks in Spain in a short time.

Exactly, and numbers from Spain are similar. So, maybe it is not about two main markets, but more markets.

True and i also believe that Sony thinks that most european countrys will wait for the ps5 so they are giving priority to other countrys, that whould explain the lower stock on the 15/12 compare to the ps4.

So, here's something funny.

I thought the OP had been updated the last time I worked on it, but thanks to your post I checked and it was...unchanged since last week. I don't know what happened. Thanks for the warning.
