PlayStation 5 reaches more than 10 million units sold
0The PlayStation 5 has sold more than 10 million consoles globally since its launch in November 2020, Sony has announced.
The milestone, which was achieved as of July 18, means that the PS5 continues to outpace sales of its predecessor, the PlayStation 4, making it the fastest-selling console in Sony’s history.
Speaking in a press release, Jim Ryan, president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment said: “I can’t express enough the deep gratitude we feel for our passionate community of PlayStation fans who have embraced PS5, and the world-class development and publishing partners who bring such incredible gaming experiences to our platforms.”
Ryan also noted that while this is a key moment for the company, they still have a lot of work ahead of them to keep up with supply and demand for the console, which is currently being affected by the ongoing global chip shortage.
He added: “While PS5 has reached more households faster than any of our previous consoles, we still have a lot of work ahead of us as demand for PS5 continues to outstrip supply.
“I want gamers to know that while we continue to face unique challenges throughout the world that affect our industry and many others, improving inventory levels remains a top priority for Sony Interactive Entertainment.”
