Unsurprisingly, it would appear that Sony hit big with the PS5 as they have confirmed that the console is their biggest launch to date.
While no official numbers have been provided yet, the company issued a thank you statement this morning over on Twitter, confirming that the PS5 is their biggest console launch ever. And while the demand is extremely high (console sells out within minutes), Sony did say that potential buyers should stay in contact with their local retailers as more stock is set to arrive before the end of this year.
We want to thank gamers everywhere for making the PS5 launch our biggest console launch ever. Demand for PS5 is unprecedented, so we wanted to confirm that more PS5 inventory will be coming to retailers before the end of the year – please stay in touch with your local retailers.

According to a report from VGChart, the console sold roughly between 2.1 to 2.5 million units worldwide. For comparison, the PS4 sold 2.1 million units with roughly a week more of being on the market than the PS5. While the numbers from VGChart are estimates, it does in the least appear to collaborate with the statement from Sony.
Regardless, huge congratulation to the team on this incredible feat! If the system continues to sell the way it currently does, no doubt it will see a bigger success than the PS4. For those who managed to get a console, what are your thoughts on it so far? Let us know below!
