PlayStation 5 passes 40M sales milestone

Sony announced today that the PlayStation 5 has passed a major milestone: As of today, it’s sold more than 40 million units since it launched in late 2020. The company added that the console now has a library of over 2,500 games, and that it achieved its milestones in spite of the “unprecedented challenges of COVID.”

Sony Interactive Entertainment president Jim Ryan mentioned the PS5’s supply chain challenges in the announcement post. He said, “For more months than I care to remember, we kept thanking our community for their patience while working through these issues. But now PS5 supply is well-stocked, and we are seeing that pent up demand finally being met.”
