Sony has shared up-to-date data on sales of its consoles and several games from internal studios with GamesIndustry.biz .
The last time Sony shared the numbers was in a recent financial report on May 10th – as of March 31st, total PS5 sales worldwide amounted to 19.3 million. That is, in two months, Sony shipped about 1 million more PS5 consoles to the market.
As well-known insider and analyst Daniel Ahmad notes, it took the PS5 a little over a year and a half 18 months (568 days) to achieve this result – the console was released in November 2020. While the PS5 is lagging behind the PS4 , the previous model crossed the $20M milestone in 15 months (471 days). This despite the fact that the PS5 took the bar of 10 million faster than the PS4 . However, supply disruptions prevented the PS5 from retaining its lead and title as Sony’s fastest-selling console.
Sony said in its statement today that it is planning on a significant ramp-up in PS5 production this year
