Sony enjoyed the biggest Hardware release last month in France, As PlayStation 5 initially sold 107,000 units. The previous record-breaking Nintendo Switch managed 105,000 units a few years ago. By comparison, the PlayStation 4 sold 90,000 units in the European country when it was introduced.
The console is completely sold out, so this is a reflection of the distribution rather than the need. The PS5 broke records in the US and UK, so it is fair to say that a lot of units were shipped. In comparison, the Xbox Series X | The S sold just 37,000 units when it was introduced in France, but that too is now on sale.
