Sony Corporation recently announced a major milestone for its PlayStation 5 console, with over 40 million units sold worldwide since its launch. Notably, the company achieved the 10 million sales mark within just 8 months of the PS5’s launch, making it the fastest-selling PlayStation console ever. By December 2022, the number had climbed to 30 million units sold.
For context, as of early 2022, Sony had shipped over 117 million units of the PlayStation 4 (PS4) and approximately 157 million units of the PlayStation 2 (PS2) by 2013. The PS4 took 6 years to reach the 100 million mark, while the PS5 has managed to approach this milestone in less than 3 years, indicating a promising trend for its continued success.
After facing supply constraints for a significant period, Sony has assured consumers that the PS5 supply is now well-stocked, and the demand is being effectively met. To further boost sales, the company is running various offers and promotions. Additionally, Sony is actively working on bringing exclusive titles like Spider-Man 2, creating further excitement among gamers.
With its strong sales trajectory and a growing lineup of exclusive games, the PlayStation 5 is poised to continue its impressive performance in the gaming market.
