PlayStation 5's are one of the most popular and fast selling consoles of today's current generation of consoles. The sales for Sony's console are only increasing as they start to become more available in general stores. Although sales are starting to climb, PS5 sales at, 32 million units, are still behind PS4 sales that were sitting at 37 million units in the same time period.
The early shortages of the gaming console showed just how high the demand was for it, and how much more production would be needed for the console. Now with more production sales have dramatically increased with 7.1 million consoles sold compared to the 3.9 million in the previous year's quarter. The PlayStation 5's success is no surprise, as the PS4 outsold every other gaming console, including the Xbox One, at a rate of 2 PlayStation's to 1 Xbox. The estimates for console sales were PlayStation 4's at 117 million, Xbox One's at around 51-58 million, and Nintendo selling around 114 million since the year 2017.
Sony's consoles are one of their strong suites and will more than likely continue to dominate competitors for a couple of years with the PlayStation 5. The Xbox Series X is not being as sold out as bad as the Xbox One, but is down 12 million units currently. Although it is important to note that Xbox does have over 25 million subscribers to their Xbox game pass. With this in mind the gap will probably only increase as time goes on and more bundles and discounts come out for the PlayStation 5.
