PS5 sales up 202% year-over-year in Europe, Xbox and Nintendo Switch both down

PS5 sales have increased Year-on-year 202 percent watery eyes Across Europe in January, underlining Sony’s outrageously aggressive approach to 2023. In fact, the Japanese giant’s new-gen system was the only one to grow on the continent, as the Nintendo Switch saw an 11 percent decline over the same period, while the Xbox Series X|S saw a 32 percent decline.

PlayStation recently launched a ridiculous advertising campaign, which saw it plaster its latest system all over the world with commercials and viral marketing efforts.
