Just three years after its launch in November 2020, the PS5 has become a huge hit! As reported on the PlayStation Blog by Sony Interactive Entertainment, they’ve managed to sell an impressive 40 million consoles worldwide. Given the challenging economic climate and the nearly two-year component shortage, this is quite an achievement. In fact, the company even took the bold step of increasing the PS5’s price—an unprecedented move in the gaming industry! While it did take a bit longer for the PS5 to reach these sales numbers compared to its predecessor, the PS4, during their respective periods of availability, the performance remains outstanding. And as if that weren’t enough, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan shared some exciting news: there are now over 2,500 games in the PS5’s expansive library!
