The last 10 million were sold in just four months
Sony announced that its PlayStation 5 game console has surpassed the milestone of 50 million units sold.
Thus, the PS5 rose to 15th place in the list of the best-selling consoles in history, surpassing the Nintendo SNES/Super Famicom with its 49.1 million. The next goal — Xbox One, which sold about 58 million
It took a little over three years to reach the 50 million PS5 consoles sold mark, but we must remember that at first the console was in short supply. In particular, because of this, the PS5 still cannot overtake the PS4 in terms of sales, although the lag has been reduced to just one week.
It’s also worth noting that Sony’s console only crossed the 40 million mark at the end of July. That is, to gain an additional 25%, the console only needed about four months.
