Abstract:
Sony Interactive Entertainment updated PS5 hardware data. As of November 10, 2026, its global cumulative shipments have exceeded 100 million units. This figure uses the "sell-in" caliber of shipments to retail channels and is not the actual purchase volume by consumers.
The quarterly data listed on the official website show that as of September 30, the cumulative PS5 shipments were approximately 97.9 million units. This means that within about a month and a half from October 1 to November 10, shipments increased by approximately 2.1 million units, and the time to exceed 100 million units was earlier than the follow-up quarterly financial report node previously expected by the media.
PS5 thus becomes the fourth PlayStation hardware to have cumulative shipments of more than 100 million units. The previous three were the original PlayStation, PS2 and PS4. Sony's official website also lists that PS2 has shipped more than 160 million units, PS4 has exceeded 117 million units, the original PlayStation has exceeded 102.4 million units, PS3 has exceeded 87.4 million units, and PSP has exceeded 76.4 million units.
PS5 was launched in November 2020, and it took about six years to reach this scale; for comparison, PS4 crossed the 100 million unit threshold in the second quarter of 2019, about five and a half years after its release. In addition, the PS5 digital version’s new color “Midnight Black” will be launched on November 19.
