The first sales figures for PS5 Pro in Japan are in (thanks, Gematsu), and it's a very healthy start for the beefed-up console. In its launch week, the machine has sold 78,086 units, which is far and away the best-selling hardware for that period.

This is a pretty impressive number, especially when you start thinking about its price. PS5 Pro costs ¥119,980, which is more than double the price of the PS4 Pro (¥44,980 at launch in 2016, or approximately ¥49,862 adjusting for inflation). To compare further, PS4 Pro sold 65,194 units in its launch week; so, not only has PS5 Pro sold more, it's done so at more than twice the price.

On the software side of things, it's less good news for Sony, as almost the entire top 10 is dominated by Switch games, as per. One new PS5 title, Slitterhead, has crept in, however, debuting at number nine.
