Sony's console PS5 has achieved an impressive milestone: 39 months after its launch, it has sold 7% more than its predecessor PS4 in the same period and 68% more than the PS3. Three years since its release, PS5 has sold more than 50 million units worldwide. A recent report from statistics company Circana confirms that the PS5 has beaten the previous generation hardware (PS4), albeit only by a small margin, based on sales over the same period.
PlayStation has built a pretty loyal fan base over the years, and players who bought a PS4 in large numbers are likely to go on to buy a PS5. It should be pointed out that the launch of PS5 coincided with the epidemic. At that time, PS5 was out of stock all over the world, and it was difficult to buy even if you had money. Therefore, considering this situation, PS5 still surpassed its predecessor PS4, which means that PS5 is quite successful.
There are recent rumors that PS5 Pro will be released in Q4 2024. With the release of "GTA6" next year, PS5 sales may reach another level.
