The PS5 Sales is Surpassing Expectations
The PS5 is on track to surpass the sales of its predecessor, the PS4. Circana, an industry analysis group, recently reported that sales of the PS5 have surpassed those of the PS4 at the same point in its life-cycle.
As a result, Sony is now aiming to sell an additional 25 million PS5s in the coming year, which is more than the 20 million PS4s sold during its third year.
Sony now plans to sell 25 million more PS5s in the year ahead, which is more than the 20 million PS4s it sold in that console’s third year and “This is the highest number ever achieved by any PlayStation console in history.”
It’s impressive to see the PS5’s momentum, given the slow start due to covid-induced supply chain issues, component shortages, and major game delays.
Sony initially made all of its major first-party games backwards compatible with the PS4, but players decided to upgrade anyway.
In the future, as more games are released exclusively for “next-gen” consoles, this trend of purchasing newer consoles will likely speed up.
Next-Gen Exclusive Titles
The release of exclusive titles such as Hogwarts Legacy, Horizon Forbidden West’s expansion, Burning Shores, and the upcoming Spider-Man 2, will continue to drive sales of the PS5.
Hogwarts Legacy will be cross-gen, but its PS4 version won’t arrive until May 5, while Horizon Forbidden West’s expansion, Burning Shores, is PS5-only, and Spider-Man 2 release date is reportedly set for around September later this year.
More to Come
Sony has been benefiting greatly from the success of the PS5 and PS5 sales. This has enabled the company to continue creating new intellectual property (IP), releasing older games for PC, and improving its live game service development.
Beforehand, the company stated that it had plans to release more than 10 new online multiplayer games by 2026. We can expect the PS5’s momentum to continue, especially as we see more exclusive titles come out.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the PS5 sales have continued to exceed expectations, with Sony reporting sales of over 6 million units in the last quarter alone.
The company has also reported that supply shortages are no longer a problem, and they can deliver a PS5 to almost anyone in the world without delays.
