PS5 Sales Doubles in the UK This January 2023
The PS5 is now selling like hotcakes in the UK.
As per a recent report by Push Square, the sales of the Sony gaming consoles fired up at the start of the year. In January 2023, the tech giant sold significantly more PS5 consoles than last in the British nation. It got roughly a 98% increase year-over-year.
It looks like the rising stocks of PS5 consoles are helping out in increasing its sales in the UK.
