Breaking records, PS5 becomes the best-selling PlayStation system in history

PS5 was too successful at launch.

According to The Verge, Sony has sold more than 10 million PS5 consoles. That means sales increased by more than 2 million units compared to the 7.8 million figure that Sony revealed in April. This means that PS5 has surpassed PS4 to become the best-selling PlayStation in the company’s history.

The PS5 may sell well, but supply is still limited. Buying this device is extremely difficult because of the global chip crisis. Jim Ryan, president and chief executive officer of Sony Interactive Entertainment, said: “While the PS5 has reached more households faster than any previous release, we still have a lot of work to do. as demand for PS5 continues to outstrip supply.”

Meanwhile, Jim Ryan, president and chief executive officer of Sony Interactive Entertainment, said: “I want gamers to know that while they continue to face unique challenges around the world that affect their industry, For us and many other industries, improving inventory levels remains a top priority for SIE.”

Spider-Man: Miles Morales has sold over 6.5 million copies since its November release; Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart has sold more than 1.1 million copies since its release last month; Returnal has also sold more than 560,000 copies since April.

While Sony continues to share numbers for console hardware, Microsoft has stopped sharing Xbox sales in the Xbox One era. “The Xbox Series S and X are our best-selling consoles ever,” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said during the company’s earnings press conference yesterday. Their sales are more than any previous generation.”

Daniel Ahmad, a senior analyst at Niko Partners, shared on Twitter that the Xbox Series X/S sold around 6.5 million units as of June 30, 2021. This number is higher than previous estimates. this is 5.7 million for Xbox One and 5 million for Xbox 360 in the same timeframe.
