The PlayStation 5 looks like another success from Sony as it has already hit 50 million consoles sold worldwide since its release in 2020. The milestone was achieved on December 9, 2023, and now it is only one week behind the PlayStation 4. It had been reported that the PS5 was still behind the PS4 in sales nearly three years in, but November 2023 was a fantastic month for PlayStation 5 to help boost these numbers.

In early November the PlayStation 5 sales were reported to be at 46.6 million and the console sold nearly 4 million during the holiday rush.

“Achieving this PS5 sales milestone is a testament to the unwavering support of the global PlayStation community and their passion for the incredible experiences created by the talented developers from PlayStation Studios and our partners,” said Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan.

“We’re grateful for all of our players who have joined the PS5 journey so far, and we’re thrilled that this is the first holiday season since launch that we have a full supply of PS5 consoles – so anyone who wants to get one can get one.”
