Despite the AI bubble squeezing prices and stock of technology, and in the face of inflation, the PlayStation 5 has managed to exceed 100 million units sold since it released.

Sony Interactive Entertainment announced that its PlayStation 5 console has sold over 100 million units since it released in 2020. The announcement was made on November 10, 2026, via the Business Data & Sales page of the company’s site. The page offers a breakdown of each quarter across all fiscal years of the console’s release, with Q2 of FY2026 showing 2.6 million units sold, down from 4 million in Q2 FY2025.

The page does not differentiate between the various editions of the PlayStation 5, but it does show the sales figures of the previous iterations of Sony’s home consoles:

  • PlayStation 5: 100+ million (as of November 10, 2026)
  • PlayStation 4: 117+ million (as of June 30, 2022)
  • PlayStation 3: 87.4 million (as of March 31, 2017)
  • PlayStation 2: 160 million (as of March 31, 2012)
  • PlayStation: 102.4 million (as of March 31, 2012)

One thing to keep an eye on will be next quarter’s reports from Sony. Presumably, there has been a lot of adoption of PlayStation 5 consoles in the lead up to the release of Grand Theft Auto 6. It will be interesting to see whether Rockstar Games' highly anticipated release will see the PlayStation 5 sales numbers exceed those of the previous fiscal year’s quarter: 7.9 million units in Q3 FY2025.
