Sony has announced that its latest next-gen console, the PlayStation 5has already managed to break the barrier of 20 million units sold. In addition to announcing said milestone, he also indicated that they are making efforts to increase the production of their console, since today the availability problem is still a reality, which also negatively influences the number of consoles sold.
PlayStation 5 vs. Xbox Series X|S in number of sales
For reference, Microsoft would not be far behind, and according to data from VGCchartz, the Xbox Series X|S would move over 15 million units soldso it is the generation that is costing Sony the most to stand out.
In the case of Microsoft, the same problem exists, its Xbox Series X is very difficult to find in stock, but this is where the Xbox Series S comes into playwhere a higher production due to the fact that it is relatively easier to produce, is absorbing the market that its own older sister, and the rival console, is not capable of supplying.
“We are delighted to share that Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) has sold more than 20 million PlayStation 5 consoles worldwide. Since the launch of PS5, our teams have worked tirelessly to deliver a next-generation gaming console that has conquered to the world and we want to take this time to thank fans for their support.
