Sony doesn’t appear to have publicly communicated a similar price promotion in France yet, but confirmation of one is likely imminent, as retailers there have already begun discounting the console’s price.
Cdiscount(viabillbil-kun) is currently offering the console for €449, whileAmazonis selling it for €474.99 as part of a “flash sale”.
VGC has contacted Sony to ask if similar PS5 Slim promotions are planned elsewhere too.
The companyaims to ship 25 million PS5 consolesduring its current fiscal year ending in March. If achieved, it would beat a 25-year-old console sales record set when the original PlayStation shipped 22.6 million units over a 12-month period.
