If Japan is any indication, buyers worldwide are avoiding PlayStation consoles. Following the latest PS5 and PS5 Pro price increase, the systems experienced a dramatic decline in weekly sales. With the Xbox Series X making up ground, only the region-locked digital option remains appealing.

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.

    My MOBO and CPU can no issue, but I’ve got one 1440p and would like to upgrade my other monitor to the same reaolution but I feel that my 3070 is holding me back. I should have done a bit more research, got a TI or something, maybe.

    I’m not dissatisfied, my setup does what it needs to, but I feel that for just a few dollars more (a lot more dollars now) I could have bypassed this inconvenience.

      Ain’t this the truth. “Do I buy this thing I sort of need right now when it’s a BIT overpriced, or wait until it gets REALLY overpriced” is the modern dilemma consumers are facing across the board, it seems.
