The regular PS5 model costs 49,980 yen, and the digital edition without a drive costs 39,980 yen, so there seems to be a great demand for cheaper digital editions. However, according to information obtained from retailers by overseas game media Eurogamer.net, the stock of digital editions will be much lower than the regular model.
According to a major UK retailer, the PS5 inventory is 75% for regular models and 25% for digital editions. This inventory allocation seems to vary slightly from store to store, with other sources claiming that 'normal models are 80% and digital editions are 20%.'
In addition, when Ars Technica of overseas media checked the inventory status of PS5 of the game shop GameStop, it became clear that the average inventory distribution is 76% for the normal model and 24% for the digital edition. It seems that GameStop also has different inventory distribution for each store, but stores in every city are clearly low in inventory of digital editions, and on average the inventory distribution of digital editions is 24%.
Eurogamer.net said, 'The appeal of the digital edition is clear. The version without an optical drive can save about 10,000 yen, but the machine power is not inferior at all,' and the demand for the digital edition can be high. I point out the sex.
When AV Watch asked Jim Ryan, the president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE), to comment on the ratio of the regular model to the digital edition, 'The ratio of the digital edition and the model with a disk drive is now. At the stage, it's confidential competitive information. We can't disclose the exact number, but we plan to produce the same number that will reach the people who need it, 'Ryan replies.
