In Sony’s latest financial report, the PlayStation 5 has now shipped more than 84.2 million units, putting it just ahead of the Xbox 360 by roughly 200,000 units. It also places the PS5 close behind the PlayStation 3, marking it as one of Sony’s fastest-selling consoles despite a more challenging market.
What makes that figure even more impressive is that Sony increased hardware prices this generation and introduced cost-saving revisions, such as smaller internal storage. Yet, the PS5 continues to build momentum. Xbox, meanwhile, has also raised prices but struggled to maintain the same traction with its Series X | S hardware.
