Resident Evil Requiem: PS5 Disc Sales Twice Xbox’s Total

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Resident Evil Requiem: PS5 Disc Sales Twice Xbox’s Total.

According to figures provided by HobbyConsolas, sales of the physical PS5 edition of Resident Evil Requiem are twice as high as the total sales figures reported for Xbox. The comparison therefore provides a concrete counterargument in the debate over Sony’s planned discontinuation of disc production. However, the comparison cites neither concrete unit sales nor information about the region or measurement period. No further robust conclusions can be reliably drawn from it.

Why the comparison carries weight in the debate

The source’s claim

HobbyConsolas compares disc sales of Resident Evil Requiem on the PS5 with the total sales figures reported for Xbox. The comparison therefore does not involve two figures for the same platform, but rather physical PS5 sales compared with the total sales figures reported for Xbox.

According to the report, this combination provides a new counterargument against Sony’s production plan. The report makes demand for the physical PS5 edition a concrete factor in the debate, rather than merely a theoretical assumption.

The central framing

In the published comparison, sales of the physical PS5 edition are twice as high as the total sales figures reported for Xbox. The comparison is relevant to the discussion about the end of disc production: it gives Sony a concrete reason to question the planned discontinuation of disc production.

What the ratio shows—and what remains unclear

One thing can be said unequivocally: sales of the physical PS5 edition are twice as high as the total sales figures reported for Xbox. The ratio alone does not show how many copies were sold, what period the comparison covers, or which region the figures apply to. Moreover, the report does not indicate whether unit sales or revenue were compared.

The ratio between the two figures also provides no basis for conclusions about production costs, revenue, inventory levels, or future demand. This limitation is relevant to the question of whether Sony should continue producing discs: the sales figures provide one aspect of the argument, but not yet a complete calculation for the production decision.

The counterargument remains robust

The report therefore primarily supports treating the figures as a serious counterargument. This does not prove that Sony has already reversed its plan. However, the report shifts the discussion from the abstract question of the physical format’s significance to a concrete sales example.

For whom the report is practically relevant

For Sony

Physical sales of Resident Evil Requiem on the PS5 strengthen the position of those calling for disc production to continue. The sales figures demonstrate demand for the PS5 edition and provide concrete evidence against the planned withdrawal. A reversal has, however, neither been announced nor documented.

For buyers

For those interested in physical console games, the comparison shows that there is meaningful demand for the PS5 disc edition as well. No conclusions about future availability, prices, or special editions can be drawn from it, however. The article provides a concrete sales comparison, not a purchasing recommendation for any particular edition.

A concrete counterargument rather than a final decision

The strongest reliable conclusion is: the physical PS5 edition of Resident Evil Requiem is successful. Its disc sales are twice as high as the total sales figures reported for Xbox, strengthening the significance of the physical format.

For you, this means: the report does not settle what happens next with disc production. It would be equally wrong to ignore the report. The success of the physical PS5 edition of Resident Evil Requiem provides, for the first time in this debate, a concrete sales argument that puts Sony’s plan back under review.
