Arguably the PS5 Pro‘s biggest obstacle was its large price tag. Selling for $699.99 here in the U.S., that is a big ask for a mid generation upgrade. However, if Japan sales are any indication, it seems gamers see the value of the new and improved console.

The first sales figures for PS5 Pro in Japan are in (thanks, Gematsu ), and it's a very healthy start for the beefed-up console. In its launch week, the machine has sold 78,086 units, which is far and away the best-selling hardware for that period.

The PS5 Slim is currently available for £20 off at Amazon, both disc and Digital version. Most major tech retailers and department stores run deals across the PS5 family throughout Black Friday. PlayStation itself have yet to wade in with their own deals but there's still two weeks to go until Black Friday itself.

Famitsu has revealed launch numbers for the PS5 Pro in Japan, and it's off to a solid start with over 78,000 units sold.
