Sony released its financial report for the period between October and December 2024 showing that 75 million PlayStation 5 consoles have been sold since its launch in 2020. In the last quarter, 9.5 million PS5 units were sold, which is the highest in a quarter since its launch.
There are 129 million monthly active users, which is a 5% increase compared to the same quarter last year. Console and video game sales recorded a 16% increase. This increase was driven by demand for the PlayStation 5 Pro and the year-end holiday season.
Sony is currently on track to sell 18 million consoles in the 2024 fiscal year ending next March. At this point, PS5 sales are only 1.5 million behind PS4 sales during the same period. It also places the PS5 in the 13th place of the console with the highest sales to date. It is still far behind the PlayStation 2, which has sold over 160 million units since March 2000.
