Sony has officially sold 80.3 million PlayStation 5 consoles. That’s right—80 million! If the PS5 were a bearded hipster in a Brooklyn café, it would be the toast of the town.
But let’s not forget, this number is *halfway* to the iconic PS2’s lifetime sales. Can you believe it? The PS2, the beloved batmobile of gaming, still holds the crown as the best-selling console of all time.
They moved 2.5 million consoles between April and June, keeping pace with last year’s sales. What are they doing right? It seems gamers just can’t get enough of those exclusive titles and fresh subscriptions!
Sure, Sony faced a few tariff threats that would make a normal company’s head spin faster than a spin-off game’s storyline, especially with Trump’s chatty promise of a 100 percent tariff on chips. Spoiler alert: tariffs are not the friendliest word in the tech world!
So, will the PS5 eventually catch up to the PS2 or the PS3? Time will tell if gamers will continue to flock to the store like it’s Black Friday every day. What do you think – is the PS5 poised to break records, or will we see a new contender emerge?
