PlayStation 5 has reached a new major sales milestone. As of December 9, the console has sold 50 million copies, announced Sony this week.
This means that the PlayStation 5 has sold 10 million copies in the last five months. The console’s biggest month – in terms of sales – came in November. Thanks to the launch of Spider-Man 2 and Baldur’s Gate 3, among others, writes Sony in a press release.
Sales thus continue to increase drastically since the console initially struggled to meet the high demand in the years following its launch in 2020.
“Achieving this sales milestone for PlayStation 5 speaks to the unstoppable support of the global PlayStation gaming community and their passion for incredible experiences created by the talented developers at PlayStation Studios and our partners,” said Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan.
The PlayStation 5 still has a long way to go to catch up with its predecessor, the PlayStation 4, which sold over 117 million. Despite the early supply shortage, however, it is not very far behind.
As Eurogamer writes, the PlayStation 5 took 160 weeks and 2 days to sell 50 million. The PlayStation 4 reached the same milestone 159 weeks and 4 days after its launch in 2013.
