No reason was given for the price drop. PlayStation 5’s disc edition and digital edition are priced at 49,980 yen ($474) and 39,980 yen ($379) respectively, plus tax. Since the PS5 price was announced after Xbox Series X/S, it may be that Microsoft wanted to offer a more aggressive price difference between the cheaper models of the rival consoles. Xbox has failed to break into the Japan market with past consoles, being beaten by a very wide margin by PlayStation and Nintendo with every generation. This time around, it is encouraging to see a more aggressive pricing strategy around the Series S, and indeed the Series X, which surprised gamers in Japan with its sub-50,000 yen price point.
