The newly launched Sony PlayStation 5 is already breaking sales number records in the US. The next gen gaming console is surpassing records set by some of the most popular consoles that launched in the past.

Sony and its PlayStation lineup has always been successful in the market, but the PlayStation 5 sales numbers suggest that the latest generation is performing quite well in comparison to the first month launches of older PlayStation models. Although, the record breaking feat does not end there, as it turns out, the the PS5 is actually beating any other video game console sales numbers in the US. This is a major achievement for the company, despite there being such a short supply for the new console.

At the moment, many stores are sold out or are selling out of stock in just minutes after fresh inventory arrives. So, we can clearly surmise that the demand is already there and the sales numbers could have been even higher. The PS5 has reached the highest launch month sales in US history, surpassing its previous iteration, the PlayStation 4, as per an AndroidHeadlines report.

Notably, the report also states that the PS5 is the highest selling console in US history for both number of units sold and the dollar amount as well. It is important to keep in mind that this is just the launch month, and the overall sales could still not be as impressive. So, there is still a chance for that to happen. But, we can assume that the new console from the Japanese tech giant already has a head start in the new console generation.
