Sony is flexing some serious muscle with the PlayStation 5, having shipped a whopping 92.2 million consoles to gamers around the globe. That’s right, folks, while you were busy hoarding toilet paper during the pandemic, Sony was busy whipping up the hottest console in town.
In the latest holiday quarter, they moved 8 million units—an impressive feat, even if it’s a 16% dip from last year. Now, before you start throwing your controllers in despair, this number still puts the PS5 neck-and-neck with the PS4’s shipment numbers during comparable periods. Talk about familiar territory!
What does this mean? Well, it means the PS5 is basically the underdog story of gaming—rising up, overcoming obstacles, and doing so while keeping your favorite games looking fabulous. The console’s shipping numbers continuously align with those of its predecessor, which is like running the same marathon and crossing the finish line with the same pace as the last time you ran it.
So, whether you’re happy with your current setup or still on the hunt for a PS5 hidden in the depths of a store’s stockroom, just know that Sony is mixing it up in the gaming world, one console at a time! Now, if only they could ship me a new pair of socks every time I lose a match in Call of Duty…
What’s your take on the PS5’s shipping success? Are you one of the lucky ones who snagged one?
