In a matter of hours, Black Myth: Wukong became one of the most successful releases of the year. We know that it registered more than 2 million concurrent players on Steam and that it helped PlayStation 5 sales skyrocket in China.
The title from Game Science was a real game-changer for Sony’s console sales in the region because, according to a recent report, Black Myth: Wukong is so popular in the country that it caused a shortage and resale of PlayStation 5. This is unusual in China, where players are usually captivated by mobile and PC games.
PS5 sells out in China due to the success of Black Myth: Wukong
Daniel Camilo, consultant, analyst, and journalist at Games Industry, shared an interesting report on the success of Black Myth: Wukong in China on his social media. According to his information, the title is so popular that it effectively increased the demand for PlayStation 5.
What’s surprising is that Sony’s console sold out in Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen, described by Camilo as the world’s largest electronics market. The consultant claims that this is undeniable evidence of high system sales, driven by the Game Science title.
The high demand for PlayStation 5 has also led to its resale in China, and the largest stores are unable to keep up with stock. This is undoubtedly great news for Sony, as such an increase in demand for its system hasn’t been common since its launch.
The analyst revealed that there was also an increase in sales of computers and various components, as players upgraded their equipment to enjoy Black Myth: Wukong in the best possible way.
A few days ago, another report revealed that PlayStation 5 was the best-selling item in the electronics section of Alibaba and topped the list of the most popular searches on Taobao, one of China’s largest and most popular online shopping platforms.
