Sony Interactive Entertainment has set its sights on flogging twice as many PS5 consoles in China than it did with the PS4, according to Josh Ye, Reuters’ tech correspondent.
For context, PlayStation boss Jim Ryan revealed that PS4 sold 3.5 million units in China as of 2020 while the PS5 is currently sitting at 670,000 units sold. Sony’s new console didn’t launch over there until May 2021, so it got a late start compared to the rest of the world.
Elsewhere, the console maker revealed during the China Hero Project event that the company has invested in Lost Soul Aside and Convallaria, with Sony confirmed to be the publisher of both titles.
The PS5 was released in November 2020 and Sony announced recently that the console has shipped 25 million units worldwide.
