Gabriel Stanford-ReisingerDespite the rocky market appeal, the PlayStation Portal has made a big splash in the Japanese market, with its pre-orders sold out across many Japanese marketplaces. Pre-orders only opened up on September 29.
As shared by Genki_JPN on Twitter, the remote-play-only device is sold out across all online Japanese retailers. That said, they also warned people to take this with a grain of salt due to Japan’s scalping problems, which persist within the PlayStation 5 even as the shortages have been resolved.
Either this is yet another target scalpers are clinging to, or Japan is much more receptive to the Wi-Fi-required PlayStation Portal.
