Sony continues to do banner business with the PS5, as the company’s latest quarterly financial report for Q4 2022 has been revealed. In it, Sony announces that to date, the company has shipped over 38.4 million PS5 units.
In addition to that, Sony has also established a new console record, as PS5 shipments for Q1 2023 has hit 6.3 million units. This marks a record for any games console during the Q1 window. For reference, this is double the PS4’s all-time best number during the same time period. Comparing it the PS5’s past performance, it triples that number during the same time last year, though people should note that PS5 units were still hard to come by then.
While sales of first-party games are slightly lower at 68 million compared to 86.5 million in the previous quarter, Sony’s Game and Network Services division has reported an increase of 61% year-on-year to $9.7 billion (¥1073.19 billion). Sony’s PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Network numbers have increased in monthly active users (MAUs) as well.
Given how stock constraints for the PS5 are no longer an issue for the majority of the world, Sony’s P5 sales figures should continue to break records.
