The PS5 has experienced a good month of January. Sales data for the month of January in Europe have been released, where it is clear that the Sony console dominates the market.

PS5 sales in January increased by 202% compared to January of the previous year. This is a spectacular rise, which allows Sony’s console to dominate this market segment in Europe.
