Not for you Gaijin

>>725587104 (OP)
I passed the N2 four years ago.

gaijeen
no

They're doing this because Japan's economy is in the absolute shitter and they literally can't sell units otherwise, people exploiting this shit in other countries is why steam fucked over regional sales prices

Blame trump for the tarrifs, otherwise we would've had this.
>inb4 israeli cocksuckers come to defend the cheeto in chief

Can someone explain how this region lock on the PS5 works?

>>725587415
he give me 2000 tho

If you haven't bought one in 5 years, why would you buy it now?
No exclusives, drifting sticks after 1 year, paid online

>>725587104 (OP)
It will be exported through shady channels to countries like Turkey.
I know because my PS5 had Japanese style power cables.

>>725588042
Are there a lot of japanese speakers in Turkey?

>>725587490
I guess: Jap language only, jap account only, jap digital store only, IP check unlikely. If you can attach the disc drive, disc should be region free, because disc have no region (newer games could be region locked, but I doubt it).

>>725587490
The console language is locked to Japanese, and it'll only work with a PSN Account which has Region and Language set to Japan.

>>725587104 (OP)
Why are they doing this? Nintendo did the same, what’s the reason?

>>725587558
>He thinks the 2K is real
You live in a third world shithole.

>>725587771
Because its an affordable multiplat machine that does have some timed and permanent exclusives to add on to it

>>725588382

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>725587104 (OP)
Why do they ALWAYS copy nintendo?

>>725588543
More storage than a shitch poo

>>725588382
Sony has lost the Japanese market and the third parties are obviously pissed since they're being punished for their loyalty. Capcom called the PS5's price a barrier.

>>725588643
seething snoycück kekkkk

>>725588723
Nearly 3x as much storage, much like how Yotei sold 3x as fast as Troonanza.

>>725588382
Economy is pretty bad, so they're making the console cheaper for japs with the caveat that its for japs only, nintendo did the same thing with the switch 2

>>725588042
It's only in Japanese...

>Sony copies Nintendo again but far too late and poorly

same as it ever was

>>725587104 (OP)
This feels so cynical. They've fucked the world multiple times and Japan were based and told Sony to fuck off so now Sony's like "pleease buy our shitty old PS5 pleease we got the Dualsense and monitor and speakers and snacks." What the fuck. All of the games are just coming to Switch 2, it's seriously so hilarious to see Sony being the ones with no games. It's a complete reverso of the Wii U vs PS4 era. Nintendo now has all the games and Sony's just copying Nintendo.

>>725588643
Nnnaaaah

>>725589126
now upgrade the ps5s storage as well

>>725588941
84.2m sold with supposedly no games. 95m by end of holiday season

>>725589268
>trailing behind the ps4

ソニー必死wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Its closing the gap though. Its only trailing it by 1.9m and thats before GTA 6 and Wolverine

>>725587771
Only retards that abuse their controllers have drifting sticks. I've owned my ps5 since launch and never had drifting sticks. Kill yourself faggot

>>725588543
Meanwhile to get a PC that's mid range you have to shill out 1500 dollars and that's not even counting the monitor, keyboard, mouse, chair desk and speakers

Ass blasted PC fatties detected. No matter how much you screech, seethe and cry about the ps5, it'll always be objectively better than gaming on PC.

ONE GAME

>>725592859
Bloodborne is playable on PC lol

>>725593174
No it’s not. Consumers at large cannot buy it or emulate it legally

>>725593272
>or emulate it legally
LMAO

>>725593359
It’s true. It also has no co op functionality and barely works.

Why else would you guys be excited for a pc port then if it comes out?

>>725593443
>and barely works.
It's completely playable solo, the way you should be playing Bloodborne.
The only thing you lose out on is dungeons, but that's really nothing to cry about.

>>725593619
Completely playable if you have a proper machine, acquire the game illegally, still no co op, and still buggy/broken in general. Good luck telling consumers to try that en masse. It’s not feasible. You lost. 10 years and counting.

>>725587415
>"inb4 israeli cocksuckers come to defend the cheeto in chief"

Fuck you tranny this is a thread about Japanese PlayStations.

>>725593930
>It’s not feasible. You lost.
Lmao, literally no games for three systems now, and you guys are truly mindbroken. Sony should just pull a Microsoft and admit they don't have any exclusives worth making a new console for.

>>725588543
It was scummy of them to drop the storage down to 825 for the revision, it was comically small 5 years ago so the situation hasn’t improved on the front.

>>725594107
Good thing people buy plenty of multiplats on ps5. And it still has exclusives that your potato couldn’t run even if you could buy them on it.

>>725589268
the reason why people bought the ps5 was the promise of games made for it, it had literally no game that could make you go like "i will buy a ps5 for this game", if it kept selling was because people liked the idea of running ps4 games better with better graphic settings, with real 4k graphics for some games

thanks tariff trump!

>>725594251
Bro, the only thing keeping PC players from playing Sony games is that they're 200GB movies

>>725587104 (OP)
This means they are making around $150 in profit selling in US since this price is likely the break even point

>>725594305
This is a funny point of view. As one who bought 2 going on a third this Xmas (pro) got em to play the games I love but better. You know like how pc guys upgrade video cards. It plays everything I need so no complaints here.

>>725588870
if they're too poor for a 500 dollar console, they're too poor for 70 dollar games

>>725587104 (OP)
Sony wants 100 Millions PS5s so bad

>>725587104 (OP)
>PS5
>not a PS5 pro

>>725594528
>As one who bought 2 going on a third
So you spent three times the amount one would need on a graphics card to play games that would run better on that PC.

>>725587104 (OP)
because teh japanese won't buy ps5

>>725594305
Make no mistake the ps5>ps6 jump will be very similar to ps4>ps5. They’ll have pretty much the same library just one will play em better for 5-6 years. I suspect it could go longer, they don’t need everyone to jump over right away they are fine with playing the long game using third party and early adopters to push things forward. No idea how a traditional handheld could shake things up as I have no interest in gaming on the go.

>>725594784
Well yeah, I’m a console Andy. Have a Series X too, built 3 desktops through the years but last one I had died in 2015 so I grabbed a overpriced gaming laptop (lol 4k display) but it was heavy and hot so I barely touch it. I’ll always prefer the console experience which is why I’m hopeful valve gives it another try not that the deck has proven it can work.

>>725588301
The disks would still be Japanese if the game allows it. Switch 2 does the same thing with the cartridges. If you put in your western copy of something like Super Mario Odyssey it should be Japanese whereas Pokemon would let you pick because it has an in-game menu instead of being set by the system.

>>725588941
did you forget that playstation was always where the 3rd parties were at?

>>725595337
So as a "console andy", you main objective is to just shovel as much money into the fireplace as possible? I get having disposable income, but you sound like a fucking idiot.

>>725594549
you can play fortnite and buy vbucks

>>725595050
poors wanted this and massive cross generation period and so there is almost no point to upgrade/exclusives

>>725595050
Aren't we still getting PS4 games?

teehee

>>725596161
I still didn't buy a PS5. Still too expensive for me. And I own literally every single Playstation from 1 to 5. PSP and Vita too.

Tariff the hell out of Sony and Nintendo until Japan buys just as many Xboxes

>>725596867
PC still won't get Bloodborn

>>725594382
Why do you want to go broke buying a desk, chair, speakers, etc, just for a, as you put it, 200GB movie?

>>725598645
You already went broke buying a couch, a TV and stand, sound system, etc., so just use those.

>>725589783

>>725588669
Retard.

>>725595694
Everything's on PC including their games and Nintendo has 3P support so Playstation got no advantages anymore

>>725600803
Everything except Bloodborne

>>725600803
>Nintendo has 3P support
probably not for long since it's a ps4 level device. still no reason to buy a ps5 but that's if you get a pc, games needing to run in handheld mode will hold the switch 2 back from getting ports. dlss doesn't matter when games need upscaling to run poorly on ps5/xsx.

PS5 is flat in Europe and down in Japan and America, yet it's only 2 million below PS4. Sony does not give a fuck about these places and are focusing their efforts on China. the Middle East, and India. There's 4 billion "people" in these countries so even if 5% of them can afford a PS5, that's a 200 million potential customer base. Reminder that all these "people" need is a PS5, internet, and electricity to play all the F2P games that Sony makes bank from.

>>725587415
Stop trying to spread your TDS. This is clearly Nintendo's fault.

>>725596161
We are with a few caveats as most cross gen service games will dial back ps4 support come 2026.

>>725587771
To not put all eggs in one basket.

>>725588382
>Why are they doing this?
Chinese scalpers.

>>725601350
You can emulate now

>>725601513
Imagine thinking companies are gonna do Sony free favors

>>725588382
Japs are brokies and prefer the cheapest system. Thats why Nintendo does well there.

>>725588941
>All of the games are just coming to Switch 2

>>725587771
If you play always online games there will likely be a time they push you to upgrade to ps5 or ps6 if you can wait til then.

>>725587104 (OP)
>55k yen PS5 DE
>still more expensive than the PS5 DE at launch (45k)
kek, what did they mean by this?

>>725587104 (OP)
It's so going to flop.
No one likes digital as it is and it still has no games so who are they even making this for?

>>725602532
You are delusional, a small minority have issues with digital.

>>725602472
There are still tons of people still playing on PS4. If Sony wants then to upgrade they should lower the price of the PS5 across the board.

>>725602619
Anon, if people wanted digital, especially in Japan, game key cards would sell more but they don't.

>>725602375
>You can emulate now
At a piss poor framerate

>>725602632
They’ll knock it down in time for the ps6 no doubt but that gives them a year to squeeze the players holding out for full price. Gotta remember Genshin is one of the most successful mobile games, it dues big numbers.

>>725602380
>Japs are brokies and prefer the cheapest system
this has always applied worldwide
the cheapest, shittiest console wins everytime as long as it still gets the multiplats

>>725602704
Mobile is the leader in Japan, you think those aren’t digital?

>>725602708
So accurate to the PS4 experience then lol

>>725602532
>70% of game sales on PS5 are already digital
>Japan has fast internet speeds
> you need to install the game to the disk either way
>most people play F2P games like Genshin and Fortnite

>>725587415
You can't even spell tariffs, fucking ESL turd worlder

>>725602936
Then how come ever since the PS5 came out, the Digital Edition makes up 20% of all PS5 sales in Japan?

>>725592859
>soulslop
>not playable on PC
good, i don't like rollslop soulslop

>>725602704
The problem with digital in particular is that people playing digital games are getting them for free so there's less interest in paying $70 for something when you can play some gacha or f2p console game instead or pick something else up on sale.

The Switch 2 GKC catalog is also mostly old ass ports that people have already played and are available elsewhere for cheaper. Imagine spending $50 for Yakuza 0 when it's been $4 before.

>>725603259
The disc version is better value and doesn't need a flimsy stand.

>>725603351
So why would this one change things since you gotta buy not one but two peripherals anyway

>>725587104 (OP)
Did the Japanese-only Switch 2 stop chink scalpers from buying them en masse?
This is not a tribalfagging post, I'm just curious if such measures do work
It's just half funny and half sad how Japanese console makers are having supply issues within their own country

>>725587104 (OP)
>No other thread about the state of play when I log on
how bad was it?

>>725602904
By your logic you can also emulate all switch 1 games, but lets not act like consumers are actually going to do all that mess

>>725604589
>supply issues
it's just subsidizing console sales because bad yen

>>725604589
>Did the Japanese-only Switch 2 stop chink scalpers from buying them en masse?
I'm pretty sure they did, part of the appeal of the gray market in China is that the region free consoles could play Taiwanese games.

>>725587104 (OP)
Still has no games to buy

>>725604773
The entire, and I do mean the entire thing, was "*also available on Switch 2/PC"
It was also mostly game updates and few if any new releases
And then they ended it with this

>>725587104 (OP)
Japs literally can't afford an unsubsidized console. The yen is too weak.

>>725587104 (OP)
>digital only

>>725605225

>>725605336
How’s BF6 on Switch 2

>>725602482
45k yen in 2020 is like 70k now, at least USD exchange-rate wise.

>>725605495
I dont know, but I wasnt defending the Shitch Poo.

based. looking out for your own countrymen is a good thing.

no games

>>725605841
Elden Ring is a PS5/Xbox console exclusive. Can't play that on your Shitch Poo

>>725587415
Have seen how Cyberpunk looks in the switch 2 because of DLSS? consolebabs are finally learning why 94% of gamers use Nvidia GPU's over AMD (just look at the steam hardware survey)

>>725587315

>>725588382
to save Japan

>Nintendo piss chinese scalpers off
>The US is losing Xbox
>Sony is returning to their homeland
I predict that the Japan bashing on /v/ will become more and more intense

Why don't the chinks just make their own console?
Most of the parts are coming from them anyway

>>725587104 (OP)
so. they pretty much copied nintendo in that

>>725588941

I was following along until this part..

just means you have to pay extra for the addon drive

>>725587104 (OP)
Is the sales tax included in the price?

>>725612503
yes

>>725612604
Nice.
t. went from paying 8% sales tax in the US to cheap Japanese prices even if 100 yen was equal to 1 dollar.

KWABOTY?

>>725607225
China is PC land.

>>725588941
I think this is fair, westerners have been attempting to destroy gaming for political reasons. It's reasonable to isolate.

>>725587415
Sony was raising the price of the PS5 even before Trump's re-election you fucking cocksucker, and they've raised the price of PS+ several times in the past decade.
This is yet another excuse being used by electronics manufacturers to "justify" the latest round of price hikes that have been happening since 2018, where the majority aren't actually being affected by whatever trending ailment is being passed around, but they're taking the opportunity to follow suit after seeing others get away with it time and again.
