In what will undoubtedly be painted as a humiliating twist for Sony, the PS5 was outsold by the Xbox Series X|S in Japan during the week ending 15th May – and it wasn’t even close. Before we delve any deeper, it’s worth noting that while Microsoft’s console has been doing comparatively well in the Land of the Rising Sun, its install base sits at a mere 204k units to date. The PS5, meanwhile, totals 1.6 million units.
Still, for the first time in over a decade, PlayStation sold fewer units than Xbox in its home territory last week. The Sony system managed just 2,693 units, while Microsoft shifted 6,225 units. As has been the case globally, this outcome can be directly attributed to the lack of PS5 stock available, but it’s still going to generate some commentary online.
PlayStation’s relationship with its home territory hasn’t been the best of late, with Sony putting more and more focus on Western countries, and even closing tentpole domestic developers like Japan Studio. While the PS5 hardware is selling just about as well as it can in the current climate, physical software sales have taken a nosedive.
To put all of this into perspective, Nintendo Switch sold 65,322 units during the past week, and its install base in Japan sits at 24,765,130 units. Neither console manufacturer comes even close to the House of Mario, then, but considering PlayStation has traditionally enjoyed a comfortable advantage over Xbox in its home nation – well, this headline will resonate.

Sonys fault. Want to sell consoles. You need to make them first. Its not like they are sitting on a boat somewhere. They haven’t been made yet. All they need to do is sell them themselves on their site by real people as a PO system. Then no bots can buy them because AI is not controlling it like every other site.
Some people are just going to ignore the stock issues and make a big deal out of this.
@Yaycandy I'm sure they wished it was that easy.
Of course it’s stock related. But still, it really puts into perspective how bad the stock issue is for Sony. They’re clearly having a hard time, sucks for all the folks out there who haven’t gotten the chance to buy one yet.
@get2sammyb God, don’t you know that you just snap your fingers and consoles appear?
Good luck reaching 18 million units by the end of the next fiscal year.
Also it looks like Sony sacrificed some of its Japanese stock to supply the UK and Europe which actually works for them as Europe is now its main territory
How many of the people who bought a Series S/X wanted a PS5 instead though but have given up so jumped ship?
@Relygon
I have yet to see a PS5 in a store. Its mad.
@UltimateOtaku91 Yes and no. The shipments prior to this week in Japan haven't been too bad. Obviously not ideal, but decent enough.
In fact, up until very recently, the European shipments were abysmal. (They've improved this past month.)
@Netret0120 Yep, I haven't seen one in a shop yet either. It's pretty crazy because it's edging towards two years since launch now!
At the moment it's kind of pointless comparing the sales of the PS5 and Series X as they're both limited by stock availability, or at least the PS5 is. The X has been in stock on Amazon UK for about 2 weeks now
@Yaycandy
Lol, is that a joke? You are putting a lack of sales/stock down to scalpers rather than the global semi conductor shortage? Doesn’t even make sense because sales to scalpers are still counted as sales.
@Netret0120 Same here! Although it hasn’t been that hard to get ahold of one here. I’ve actually had 6 units in total, I was on a quest to get one without coil whine. Alas, that never happened, but my current one is fully acceptable. I can’t hear it over normal volume.
I get that stock is low, but maybe they should prioritize Japan of all places? Don't know. Just a thought.
Of course this is largely due to stock issues and the PS5 will easily outsell the Xbox series by a mile over the lifetime in Japan. But if you look from Xbox point of view it is a big deal. Because in 1 1/2 years of series they almost sold twice as many xbox consoles than the xbox one console during its entire generation, which was less than 115k total. So for them its back to the 360 days where they sold 1.6 million units total.
I have no idea what Sony can do to alleviate the stock issues, but they certainly need to do something quick because the situation is benefiting Microsoft.
I wonder if micro living has anything to do with it too? They might not be able to get a PS5 inside.
There was talks of Sony wanting to establish their own semiconductor factory, along with Samsung I think... Did that ever materialise?
I get this is generally down to stock issues, but they have clearly prioritised Japan to a lower level than MS have. Not that I’m surprised, Sony seem almost embarrassed about traditional Japanese output and are trying to stamp it out wherever possible sadly.
Almost all X/S sales account for the Series S. With its small form factor, it is a much better fit for the small flats in Japan. And it is cheaper and better available than both Series X and PS5. Why should Japanese prefer the California-based PlayStation over the Washington-based Xbox?
@Perturbator
They are, but these things take years to come to production. Also not specifically focused on PS, although it will clearly alleviate pressure elsewhere.
“ Sony will invest about $500 million in the factory, it said separately. Construction of the factory, which local media said last month would supply semiconductors to Sony's image sensor business, will begin in 2022, with production slated to begin at the end of 2024, ”
I heard the series s/x have already outsold the xbox ones entire generation in Japan. That is pretty impressive. Hopefully Sony have an answer soon because they are loosing market share
@thefourfoldroot1 True, honestly it sucks. I want Sony to remain Japanese, no idea why they’re trying to get rid of their heritage. Is it all just about the money?
@Relygon
Ever since they centralised their global departments, and run everything from the US, they have actively sought to remove themselves from anything that might be considered “pervy Japanese” output by the western market. Whether for ideological reasons or financial (bad PR from activists) I cannot say. They did site #metoo, but that could have just been opportunistic.
@Sakai By far even. Xbox one was 115k during lifetime, Series is around 205k after 1 1/2 year.
They get outsold one week because of stock and of course the community here acts like Sony is doing horrible and ignoring Japan. Overreacting like usual.
@UltimateOtaku91 Well what is telling is how Sony is basically Microsoft if compared to Nintendo in Japan. Are people buying multiple Switches cause how can it consistently sell so much more than PlayStation for years now?
How could Sony let it get so bad and not attempt something to try and win some of the Japanese audience back? Instead of Bungie they could have bought and started several Japanese studios with just half of what they spent on them.
The tide is turning in the rising sun set in the sea of momentum because of arrigent Sony 🤓
Haha
(One week with no stock) is a non story honestly.
@Lavalera o wow I didn't realise it was by that much, that's even more impressive when you think about it
@Juanalf sony has been selling better in Europe since the ps3 days and I think sony have grown to cater more to western players than Japanese ones, nintendo are too far ahead in the Asian Market for Sony to even try and get them back. Though buying square enix, capcom or sega would be a big start
@get2sammyb @Netret0120 I've seen one in my local CEX window - ugly thing, isn't it?
Apparently they have 7 of the proper ones. A snip at £650 each....
its japan the market for sony and Microsoft is tiny Nintendo and mobile have the market sewn up
@trev666 Sony were doing well over there until they stabbed the fledgeling Vita in the back.
Xbox outsold PlayStation once in Japan Sony is doomed!!!!!!!!
It's a shame to see PlayStation stray from Japan as while I play their first party games so many amazing Japanese games I've experienced on PlayStation and identity them with the system. PlayStation sales have been declining over there since the PS2 and PSP and once they moved to America it's been less of an area focus there. Sure they prefer handhelds but they could at least put effort into caring about Japan it is Sony's home land and they have an advantage there Microsoft does not
@Royalblues releasing another model when there will still be the same semiconductor shortage won't make them more readily available if anything it will just split manufacturing between the two and make the standard PS5 even harder to get. A less powerful model would still share many of the same parts as the full model so that wouldn't really solve the issue.
UK has had amazing PS5 stock this week including the new PS5 HFW bundle both disc and digital consoles. I just don’t think they can keep up with demand worldwide and have to pick and choose what territory’s to distribute to and when.
When since 2013 has Japan been PlayStation's "home market?" They killed the Vita, delayed the PS4 in Japan, and outright severed anything Japanese with the PS5. The only thing "home" about Japan for PlayStation is their listing on the Nikkei.
@mucc To be fair, 1.6m in 1.5 years is pretty horrible in Japan. For comparison, the same week that Xbox outsold PS over 2:1, Nintendo outsold both of them 6.5:1 combined. "Home consoles" are little more than a niche there now.
@Royalblues "As strong as a PS4 pro when docked"
You're more optimistic than I am. I'm thinking base PS4 at best. And that's if we're lucky.
@Relygon Of course it's all about the money. Japan and anime may be a sizable niche in the West, but the PS strategy is about the mainstream media market in the West, and the mainstream media market finds Japanese content outright "weird", "childish", or otherwise undesirable. And it's also not nearly as profitable, so it's about trimming the fat to the quick and keep only the most overwhelmingly profitable things, spending nothing only somewhat profitable things, especially when those somewhat profitable things carry a negative stigma to their ultra profitable primary market.
Strangely, Nintendo's making a killing in the West. Kinda makes you wonder if Sony's strategy is wrong....
It's disappointing to me. To me the Japanese content was the identity of PS and what separated PS+Nintendo from PC+Xbox. Now PS, Xbox, and PC are just different flavors of PCs with a few different exclusives, and the whole identity of what used to be PS just got rolled into Nintendo's.
@nessisonett Soulja Boy knows....
@Zenszulu While that is true. A lower tier system can be made out of bin-out chips that can't match PS5 standards. It can be shipped with lower CU, shaders, clock speeds... etc. Which in turn help supply of PS5s cause now you just don't have chips just going to waste.
@Royalblues basically your saying games have to have top tier graphics to be fun? Nintendo are as popular as they re due to making fun and engaging games for all genres and audiences, and cater to both handheld and console players.
Graphics mean nothing to most gamers hence why 2D games are still being mass made to this day
@Sam_ATLUS lol series X must be doomed as well since the 2DS outsold it....
Seriously though they need to buy a big japanese developer like capcom or square enix and make monster hunter and dragon quest exclusive, with more Japanese devs under their belt I dare say they could actually make a new handheld that would be successful.
@Dezzy70 that's the problem and it's the same for both Sony and Microsoft, I mean even the series X sold 150 consoles in Japan and got outsold by the 2DS which is bad, I think xbox mainly send more units to USA whikst sony send more to Europe, and then on a good month they will send quite a bit to Japan and rest of Asia. If stock wasn't an issue the ps5 and series consoles would be pushing towards 30+ million sales each by now.
@Royalblues It's Nintendo. They're selling a 2013 tablet for $350 in 2022. And selling out of them faster than they can make them..... Why would they bother with a PS4 Pro when they can upgrade everyone to a PS4 for $400 in 2024?
Seriously, though, in fairness to them, they do have the thermals and battery draw to worry about with their handheld design assuming Switch 2 is Switch 2. A PS4 Pro throws serious heat , revvs up a fan like a jet engine, and the plastic stress creaks from thermal expansion as it runs, and PS5 is sitting on, like, 3 lbs of pure copper to avoid revving the jet engine up, complete with dust traps. Sure mobile chipsets have come a long way, but Nintendo's surely not going to be rocking the chipsets an S22+ runs, and the GPUs are still more limited in those than what a dedicated console would want. I'm betting against them going for 4k other than DLSS upscaling on a newer chip (which might be all it needs.) The main product remains the handheld, as the OLED upgrades indicate, and the Japan sales numbers indicate why.
If I were Nintendo, I wouldn't even consider trying to do a PS4 Pro level 4k console. I'd stick with cheaper, cooler, lower power 1080p chipsets, for a 1080p screen, and just upgrade enough to actually apply FSAA to my games instead of looking like an enlarged 3DS game. Maybe let DLSS enhance the output for newer TVs. But maybe also focus on improving load times to match PS5/XSSX, especially considering Miyamoto kinda hampered N64 by insisting on expensive cartridges due to load times 25 years before Sony and MS reached the same conclusion.
What they will do though is add some kind of gimmick or unique feature or controller function to set it apart from Switch 1 to set up some sort of new gameplay element. They're not likely to just iterate to more graphics power and call it a day. It needs to have some sort of "new toy factor" for them.
While we all wish they could make more consoles and CURRENTLY Microsoft are producing more the reality is that
As such it's nowhere near as doom and gloom as articles like this suggest.
@NEStalgia You’re probably right and yes it is indeed sad. I think Nintendo is killing it on both “sides” because their brand doesn’t carry the same stigma, as you say. In my country even the older generation knows Nintendo and usually associates them with family games. Fun for all ages. They fondly remembers giving their kids Game Boys for Christmas and whatnot.
Xbox and PS does not carry the same associations here. Non-gamers think of them as gaming PCs for the TV, essentially.
@UltimateOtaku91 Sony has been weird with Japan and a Japanese developer would definitely help them but I just don't see them purchasing one. That and I don't know how they would be with a Japanese developer considering they shut Japan Studio. I know we got Team Asobi in the end but that puts a lot of people and myself worried how they'd handle it. I don't think a Sony handheld would be the same unless it has quirky Japanese games, something Japan Studio did a lot of for them from LocoRoco to making their own Monster Hunter to make up for the lack of one. The best they can do is make sure they maintain good relations with Japanese third parties and get games the Switch can't handle to make it look appealing to Japanese gamers. I feel Sony will just do alright in Japan for now, they seem to be the second choice for them when they can't play a game like Elden Ring. But the day Xbox actually sells more consoles as a whole in Japan than PlayStation is the day I will be speechless.
@NEStalgia Did any of those consoles have hardware shortages anywhere comparable to what we have now? Absolutely not. Everything they put out sells. Either way mobile is king in Japan and it even trounces Nintendo in sales. So many of you act like Sony turned its back on Japan. Japan turned its back on console gaming for mobile trash and there's nothing Sony can do about it.
@mucc It's a bit chicken and egg. Yes, Japanese console sales are way down from historical levels, and yes, Japan has mostly gone all in on mobile and Nintendo (though Nintendo is kind of its own market there.)
But Sony never tried to maintain or manage that market, they just walked away from it in search of only the largest profits. Dropping handheld was a big part of that. At first, at least, they still stayed true to Japanese devs and brought their content to the larger Western market as the defacto console for it. But then they largely abandoned that as well while chasing only the biggest sellers.
Either way, I still see PS and Xbox as more or less the same type of platform for the same type of market now. They each just have their list of some different exclusives, but are otherwise interchangeable. PS's identity used to be uniquely Japanese. Now their identity is mostly just TLoU and GoW. Heck even GoT, an American game set in Japan isn't really their identity, let alone Japanese games!
Japanese cosnumers have the choice of the American Xbox or the American Playstation.. Well we know why the Switch is doing so well.
Form factor also works in the Series S favour so it will outsell the Series X by a mile.
@SplooshDmg Since the chip is probably going to be custom the next time around, I'd think that's the sort of feature Nintendo would be interested in given their smooth graphics preference. At the volume they buy, I think that would be affordable for them. Especially on an overall weak chip. And knowing Japan's push on 4k to 8k overall, smoothed graphics will be seen as important for docked use at least. Though they could go with a cheap Anchor Bay scaler or something.
@Rural-Bandit The switch seems designed to be capable of external processing, but I don't think Nintendo would do it unless it were necessary for some reason to omit parts from the handheld. Making the dock a more expensive piece to manufacture just doesn't seem practical for them versus it being a cheap accessory. If they do DLSS I don't see it happening. If they don't do DLSS like Sploosh mentioned for cost reasons, I could see the dock including the scaler, a cheap one, just so it doesn't affect the power draw or thermals within the console (those chips can get hot!) But I don't think they'd go e-GPU or anything, just a cheap scaler in the dock.
The joycons. It's one of those things for dedicated gamers that make little sense. A dedicated TV controller for couch and attached controllers on the console make more sense. OTOH, the fact that they're removable make them replaceable, something that's problematic on the Lite (and why I didn't buy a Lite, fixing the sticks is a PITA on those compared to the joycon...) But I'd like them to redesign the joycon somewhat. Better yet, put that "optical sensor for analogue sticks" patent to use and eliminate drift forever!
@SplooshDmg Sorry, I heard "nvidia drivers" and my mind went black and I went numb remembering when nvidia driver upgrades meant seeing the monitor black out and hoping your system doesn't bsod in the meantime and render the machine unbootable."
Flashbacks. The PTSD doesn't go away. I forget everything else you said
I'd assume if Nintendo did it they'd bake it into the devkit so it's "automatic" as part of using their toolkit. Or at least super simple to use. They tend to have an all-encompassing approach to their features, bar the 3D feature on the 3DS.
Also, the size of that GPU....eww. How does that even stay mounted? This is why I got out of PC gaming.
@Rural-Bandit Yeah, I thought Switch would be my favorite this gen, but it really got eclipsed and lost some momentum for me. I mostly view it as a new handheld and only occasionally use it docked. If I'm on the couch, I'd rather use that time for the PS/XB. But...it's a pretty great handheld overall. And I feel like they've kind of backed away from going heavily into advertising the hybrid aspect of it and focused more on the handheld. EVERY enhancement of the OLED model other than the ethernet jack is all about handheld mode, so I think they're ok with that. Though I'm trying to use GP on my phone more to take advantage of all those games. I hate using my phone battery for games though , that's the catch.
I'm not sure what to make of Apple. On one hand they'd seriously rival Switch with better tech (and a much higher price.) But on the other hand, I'm not sure their iOS market transitions over to console gaming, and I'm not sure entering the console space actually helps them build out their business in a useful direction. I could see them going more in the streaming direction rather than some local hardware Switch rival, since they already sell local hardware that makes more gaming money than Ninty, Sony, and MS combined. A new cloud service seems more in Apple's wheelhouse than Pippin2. I know the rumors are there...but...it doesn't make that much business sense. They sell $1000 "consoles" already., Do they need to try to compete at a $500 Switch? They discontinued the iTouch, so, IDK if they're making room for a console, or getting rid of the non-communications line.
Nintendo has Japan sewn up and has ever since Switch launched. Xbox won't outsell PlayStation by the end of this generation but it's really good to see them having more of a presence in Japan.
Speaking of stock issues only 105 of those 6225 Xbox S/X’s where the series X
@Rural-Bandit I think Switch Lite OLED is a guarantee. Probably announced either in the next direct, or a surprise drop August/September for the holiday to time with Pokemon new gen. They wouldn't upgrade the big unit to a new better handheld display without the dedicated handheld following behind it. And a tidy price jump to boot.
Plus, after playing on OLED and jumping back to my OG (my secondary system), OMG that OG screen is TERRIBLE. I always knew it was terrible but when you go back and forth you really see it. The colors are the most washed out on any screen I've seen in 20 years, it's all flat. They must have bought those things in a bargain basement closeout.
Why bring back the Game Boy brand when Switch is already a Game Boy with a different name and a TV-out? (Which technically the Game Boy also had in the form of the Super Game Boy SNES accessory ) I'd love it, but that would be a big step back for them for sure! Switch Lite is pretty much just a Super Game Boy Advance with a widescreen format. Oh, and TV out...
Lites do get drift, too, and you can self-repair those, too, but it's more of a pain. The Joycon you just open them up, pop the one ribbon, and there's the stick to detach. The Lites you have to remove the whole shield and more delicate wires. Doable, but annoying.
@SplooshDmg AMD drivers were always famously bad in terms of performance, but in terms of breaking PCs, both were always pretty bad. We're really going back to Win9x territory ,but the fear of running video driver upgrades never EVER goes away.... By the end I'd wait years before upgrading them even if games were broken with old drivers, I'd leave them as long as I possibly could. I started treating my gaming PCs like enterprise servers "Sure this software is 12 years out of date, but it works still, don't touch it!"
I'm still affected from the nvidia "leaf blower" era when they put all their r&d into their og xbox contract and let their entire generation of PC GPUs fall behind (way behind ATI), and cobbled together those super-fan exhaust FX things that ran nothing well. When I hear nvidia, I immediately just think of that era.
I wouldn't think it's hard to bake that into the OS, assuming the AI updates are more or less just "pluggable" at some layer of operation, the OS phoning home and getting the updates wouldn't be a problem. The problem for PC is there's no unified source of everything, so it's not just plugged into the launcher (though Steam should have been able to do it.) You're right, though FSR maybe a more likely bet, except with the tight partnership with nVidia, and Nintendo STILL being nVidia's only vendor in the console gaming arena, nVidia is likely to be super generous with technologies for Nintendo to keep that relationship prime. They know Nintendo doesn't want to be tied to one vendor and will shop around, and they know that's the only vendor they can have for at least years, so they have to bend over backwards and twice around for them.
What's the APR on a 30-year term on that card?
@thefourfoldroot1 Yeah I head it takes years to build these factories. Hopefully chips will be more readily available before 2024!
@Perturbator That's a damn long time lol.
@SplooshDmg The question is if the devs need to work with them, or if feeding the content could be part of the devkit and/or certification process. Nintendo's clever at working around complex problems with simple solutions, even if it limits the result. And cost may be no object, because, again, nVidia's still in a position to give away the store because, they basically need to to justify the their gaming division.
@UltimateOtaku91
PS5 maybe worldwide not sure about series consoles. I can only speak for the UK but series s consoles have been always been available since start of this year.
Series x sales have slowed in terms of there is stock available right now to pick up in store and has been for a good month now. When stock turns up which you can check on the store website and how many it is has, it is about for a long time nowadays, I mean my local can take about 3 weeks or more to sell 10 series x. I’m in a busy area Greater London as well.
Stock is obviously the main issue here, but the Series S is actually a really good machine for Japanese homes, given the comparative size of PS5 and Series X. Wouldn't be surprised to see it continue to sell well for Microsoft over there
This whole generation has sucked and is the worst mess I have ever seen in gaming as a whole. I Blame it on Sony and customers both as a whole you had people wanting them to keep supporting ps4 I had some fool on here saying the ps4 don't use semiconductors so it has no impact all yes it does and all yes it uses semiconductors. I blame the fan base as much as I blame Sony!! Please support ps4 Sony all God their is not enough ps5s well you wanted ps4s produced too so that took away. And then it's keep making games for ps4 cause I can't find a ps5 . Then you find a ps5 then it's stop making ps4 games because last Gen is holding back the new Gen. But customers won't take any blame of wanting it all then get upset because they listened to all their silly ass request . Don't be sorry you got what you wanted they listened to all your demands now it's a mess.
I know some of the PS5's are built in China, but some are also built in Japan.
I know components are still an issue, but I am sure a large percentage of the ones built in Japan, stay in Japan.
How many of these aren't scalping cases ?
Oh god... we won't hear the last of Xbox fanboys now saying how their sales increased 500% from 1 to 5 units and that now Japan loves it.
I'm exaggerating, but I've come across such people.
Microsofts console will never Dominate in Japan because it’s the Land of Nintendo and Sony also most Japanese gamers call the Xbox the WrongBox.

No comment 🙄
@Lexluther23 I think most of the blame lies with Sony and the pandemic. Whilst not much could be done about the latter, Sony's confusing rhetoric over the last year and a half has been comical.
Yes, I own a PS4 and would love Sony to keep supporting it with all releases but at some point they do need to start leaving it behind. Trouble is with less than 20m PS5s spotted in the wild (or in scalpers warehouses) then it doesn't make financial sense as studios would barely recoup the extra dev costs.
Ultimately, launching a console in the middle of a pandemic & resultant parts shortage was just one of the worst ideas.
It's resulted in the PS4 being supported for a long time to come and the PS5 having all the hallmarks of a PS Pro Plus with just 5 or 6 next gen only games still being the only ones available.
I'm still not feeling the urge to go and buy a PS5 and with Sony's current directionless leadership, I might leave 25 years of PS ownership behind.
This should of not happened really. Come on SONY sort out this chip shortage Saying that I am sure once the chip shortage is over the PS5 will kill the rest easily
@sanderson72 I agree with what you said as well it is a great deal of circumstances not just one or too or one thing it's a number of things. I've been gaming since the early 80s comdore 64 / atari 2600 /apple 2e . Ordered my original playstation out of gamepro mag with mod chip solderd in. Been a playstation fan for years. I have a ps5 had it since feb of last year took alot of 6am wake up calls to be at the doors at target to get it. Why working 12 hours shifts 11 to a 11pm then coming home getting around 5 hours of sleep and being the first inline at electronics for a week straight to finally snag one. That is way to much effort to put in just to find one . The launched should had been delayed another 2 years their was plenty on ps4 to play and still coming out. I myself have been thinking about switching to Xbox come next-gen it does seem awful tempting with gamer pass being way more robust then this new ps plus is looking to be and more of their console in the wild.
@Kriandis Are you positive some are made in Japan? I haven't seen a PlayStation product made in Japan since the PS3! I don't even think I've seen Vita products made in Japan... My last Japan made dual shock was a ds3.
@SuperPotato316 compared to Switch and PC it's definitely falling from standard though. I can only think of a handful of current Japanese games that are on ps and not Xbox, but there's tons on switch or pc that aren't on either anymore...
I'm surprised that people doesn't seem to know that a lot of the japanese production is scalped in China, Probably one of the reasons why it is hard to find a PS5 in Japan.
@JJ2 Pretty much. They are desperately trying to push the narrative. Sure, it's selling better than the XB1, but that is hardly difficult. It still severely underperforms and is a joke.
@Nem
In other news Xbox outsold PlayStation in Japan last Wednesday between 8 AM and 11AM 😅
@UltimateOtaku91 No but i like them to be better then something released a decade ago.
