The PlayStation 5 is Sony’s latest gaming console. Announced about a year ago, Sony revealed in July when it had crossed the 10 million sales mark that the PS5 as it is also known as is its fastest-selling console in the history of Sony Interactive Entertainment.
A new report via Winfuture has revealed the console has now sold over 13 million units. According to a second-quarter report of Sony’s internal fiscal year which ended on September 30, the Japanese manufacturer sold 3.3 million units. That figure is more than the sum of TVs and PlayStation 4 consoles it sold within the same period.
The report revealed an increase of 1 million units from the last quarter. The last-generation console, the PS4 saw its sales drop from 500,000 units in the first quarter to 200,000 units in the second quarter.
Sony is still dealing with supply issues as the console is not readily available to buy. So there is a high chance the total units sold would be higher if there were no supply constraints.
The report also revealed that Sony sold 76.4 million PS5 and PS4 games last quarter an increase from the 63.6 million sold in Q1 of its fiscal year. It also saw its PlayStation Plus subscribers grow from 46.3 million to 47.2 million while the number of monthly active users on the PlayStation Network drop from 105 million to 104 million.
