PlayStation 5 has reached a historic milestone. Sony has shipped more than 100 million consoles as of November 10, 2026, according to its business data page, Video Games Chronicle reported. The figure counts consoles shipped to shops, not sold to players.
Almost six years
PS5 launched in November 2020 and took nearly six years to reach 100 million. PS4 did it in June 2019, about five years and seven months after launch, so PS5 has been a few months slower. VGC points out that PS5 costs significantly more and had supply problems at launch. Its last figure, on September 30, was 97.9 million, as we reported in our article on Sony’s results, so at least 2.1 million consoles have shipped since then.
The consoles above 100 million
- PlayStation 2: 160 million
- Nintendo Switch: 157 million
- Nintendo DS: 154 million
- Game Boy: 118 million
- PS4: 117 million
- PlayStation: 102 million
- Wii: 101 million
What comes next
PS5 sales are falling, as is normal for a console in its sixth year, but GTA 6 and a possibly longer life for current hardware could give them a boost. Sony has not set a PS6 release date, and some analysts expect it in 2028.
