Sony says the PS5 has now shipped more than 100 million consoles worldwide, as of 10 November 2026.
The jump from the last official count came quickly. In its quarterly results, released 5 November, Sony put shipments at 97.9 million as of 30 September, so about 2.1 million more consoles shipped in the 40 days since.
Sony updated its website with the new figure, according to Gematsu, where Sal Romano reported it. Sony hasn’t given an exact total, only “more than 100 million”. The number counts sell-in shipments, meaning consoles sent to retailers, not confirmed purchases by players.
Yearly shipments have fallen since the peak. Sony shipped 20.8 million PS5s in fiscal 2023, its best year, then 18.5 million in fiscal 2024 and 16.0 million in fiscal 2025. In July to September, it shipped 2.6 million, down 35% on the same quarter last year.
Yahoo Finance says the PS5 has only become more expensive since launch, thanks to the global components shortage and surging memory prices. Sony says it no longer needs to push PS5 hardware aggressively, as PlayStation focuses on recurring revenue.
Past PlayStation generations still sit higher on Sony’s business data page. It lists the original PlayStation at more than 102.4 million (as of March 2012) and the PS4 at more than 117 million (as of June 2022). The PS2 is higher still, at more than 160 million (as of March 2012). The PS5 has now cleared 100 million, but it hasn’t passed any of them.
