Sony just recently shared its latest earnings report, which revealed that its PS5 consoles are seeing robust sales. The company has sold more than 25 million units of its PlayStation 5 console model to date. So here are all the details.

As per official notes, the Japanese tech giant shared that it sold around 3.3 million units of PlayStation 5 consoles in just this quarter alone. With this, the company has managed to sell over 25 million units of the PS5 to date. Furthermore, the brand also projected that it would sell a total of 18 million PS5s by the end of the fiscal year 2022. Although, the brand has only sold around 5.7 million units halfway through the fiscal year, which means it is far short of its sales expectation as of right now.

However, despite Sony not seeing any notable rise in unit sales over last year, the revenue from the sales saw a noticeable rise of 12 percent. This was thanks in part due to the hike in pricing earlier this year. But, the profits were down by a significant 49 percent due to the company’s recent acquiition of known game developing studio Bungie, which was behind the original Halo trilogy.

Sony only sold around 11.5 units of the PS5 game console last year, so we can expect the 2022 sales to be more than the previous year. But it remains to be seen if the company manages to achieve its 18 million units sales target. Back in May 2022, the brand had also announced that it will be ramping up production of the PS5 to meet demand while the supply chain issues were easing. Since it still sticking to an 18 million units target, the company might have an ace up its sleeve. So stick around for more updates.

Sony will introduce two new color variants to its PlayStation 5 DualSense controller. The gaming giant says the two new colors – Midnight Black and Cosmic Red will be available from June 2021.

The broad concept behind the design of the two new color variants is the Galaxy containing a vast array of elements in the universe. The Midnight Black controller has two different shades of black and light grey. It mimics the view of space through the night sky. The panoramic view sometimes provided by the night sky lends support to the concept behind the choice of color. The Cosmic Red controller, on the other hand, features a distinct two-tone color make-up.

According to Sony, the design concept was inspired by the unique, vivid shades of red that can be found throughout the universe. The release marks the first time Sony would be releasing two new colors for the DualSense controller.

The pair of new DualSense controllers for the PlayStation 5 have similar designs with minimal differences relating to the choice of colors. The matching button colors alternate between black and red. A touch of blue is also present in both controllers to give a unique hybrid between the past and the present.

The new Sony PlayStation DualSense wireless controllers provide an impressive gaming experience for users. The DualSense controller is a significant improvement from previous controllers. It features haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. The wireless controller was a massive hit after its release. It provides gaming buffs with an excellent gaming experience while playing any of the PlayStation 5 games.

Sony’s PlayStation 5 is one of the sought-after gaming products since the first official release on November 12. With some markets still dream of getting it, the company has ended the 2020 note with a bang. A report from Digitimes now says it has shipped a never-before number of units so far.

The report(via MySmartPrice) says that Sony has sold 3.4 million units of PlayStation 5(PS5) in just 4 weeks of launch. If we recall, the company had faced heavy demand during the initial days. In fact, the PS5 was selling at exorbitant prices in countries like China, and Hong Kong due to short supply.

Besides, Sony has also been facing the heat for delaying launches in countries like India. The situation is so bad that people are queueing up to get imported units at higher prices. If you come to think of it, Sony has been trying it’s best to vent off the frustration among fans. Previously, reports said that it had raised the production by 50% way before the announcement.

Couple that with partner’s affiliation to raise the stocks prior to the sale, you can understand the commitment. Anyway, the company has managed to circumvent all the pressure and achieve this feat which is considered to be the best sales figure for a Console so far.

And it is only going to get better in 2021. The report says that Sony plans to ramp up the production of PS5 up to 18 million units next year. This would involve cooperation with vendors like AMD who would in turn have to rely on additional foundry of its contract manufacturer, TSMC. And the report already indicates that things are falling into place for the Japanese giant.

On that note, I wish both our readers and Sony to have a happy and prosperous 2021 year ahead!
