The PlayStation 5 is just turning five (I know, what is time?), and as the console celebrates such a milestone, Sony has revealed how it's doing compared to its predecessor. Quite well, is the answer, as sales of the system are remarkably close to those of the PlayStation 4 when it was at the same stage.

During the financial results call for the second quarter of 2025 (thanks, VGC), Sony includes a comparison of sales between the PS5 and PS4. By all available metrics, they've been incredibly close through the PS5's lifespan thus far, with Sony's current system having now shifted around 84.2 million units.
