Sony last disclosed information regarding PlayStation 5 shipments relatively recently—in the report for the second quarter of the fiscal year 2026. At that time, it became known that as of September 30, 2026, the company had reached the 97.9 million consoles mark. Thus, in just a month and a half, approximately 2.1 million more units were shipped.
Reaching the 100 million PlayStation 5 units milestone took six years—the console was launched in November 2020. By comparison, its predecessor, the PlayStation 4, achieved a similar result in about five years and seven months, by the end of June 2019.
Currently, Sony's most successful console remains the PlayStation 2, with shipments exceeding 160 million units. It is followed by the PlayStation 4 with 117 million units, and rounding out the top three is the original PlayStation with 102.4 million units.
