PS5 Pro's week one sales in Japan are impressive as the mid-gen upgrade shifts over 78,000 units in the region.

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.

Sony's new PS5 Pro lacks a vertical stand and a disc drive, unlike the PS5 Slim Standard model that retails for $499. If you were to add a vertical stand and a disc drive to the PS5 Pro to fairly compare it to the PS5 Slim Standard, its price jumps up to $810 — over $300 more than the PS5 Slim Standard.

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.
