PlayStation 5 sales passed 100 million units as of Nov. 10, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s latest business data shows. The milestone is at least 2.1 million above the 97.9 million figure for Sept. 30.
PS5 reached the mark nearly six years after its November 2020 launch. PlayStation 4 got there in June 2019, five years and seven months after launch. The comparison has limits: PS5 costs significantly more and faced supply constraints at launch.
PS5 has passed the PSP and PlayStation 3, and is closing in on the original PlayStation’s 102.4 million sales. The PlayStation 2 remains Sony’s top-selling console at 160 million.
PS5 sales peaked at 20.8 million units in FY2023, then reached 16 million in FY2025. FY2026 started lower. Sales fell to 1.6 million in Q1 from 2.5 million a year earlier, then reached 2.6 million in Q2 compared with 4 million in the same quarter last year. Q2 was stronger than Q1, but remained well below its year-ago total. Sony’s Q3 figures are due in the new year.
By September 2026, combined PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 software sales had topped 1.79 billion units. The first half of FY2026 accounted for 154.3 million sales, compared with 317.9 million across FY2025, Sony’s strongest year so far. Sony also counted 127 million monthly active users in September.
