PlayStation 5 sales pass 40m

Sony has sold in excess of 40m PlayStation 5 consoles.

Figures last released in April stated the company had sold 38m PlayStation 5 consoles.

“With the support of PlayStation fans, we have reached a milestone of 40m PS5 consoles sold through to gamers since launch,” Sony’s Jim Ryan said. “Thank you so much to our community of gamers – without you this would have been an impossible task.”

“We launched PlayStation 5 in November 2020 and the world was in a strange and different place than when we announced the console in 2019,” Ryan continued. “Despite the unprecedented challenges of Covid, our teams and our partners worked diligently to deliver PS5 on time.
