"Sony has shared its latest update for investors, and it's largely good news for PlayStation 5. According to Sony, an additional 3.9 million PS5 consoles were sold in the last quarter, bringing its lifetime total to 84.2 million consoles sold since the system launched in 2020. That puts the PS5 into a virtual dead heat with its predecessor, PlayStation 4, at the same point in its life cycle."
"Kantan Games CEO Dr Serkan Toto told Video Games Chronicle that Sony's success is at least in part due to the struggles of Microsoft's gaming division and the migration of formerly Xbox-exclusive titles to PS5. "Life is good if you have a competitor that is not really focusing on hardware anymore and has given up on exclusive games to start selling them on your platform," said Toto. "Sony is now clearly dominating the high fidelity console gaming space, and just watch what happens to their numbers once GTA 6 is out.""

PS5 sold an additional 3.9 million units in the last quarter, bringing lifetime sales to 84.2 million since the 2020 launch. Sales trajectory for PS5 closely mirrors PS4 at the same point in its lifecycle. Sony projects 15 million more PS5 console sales during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, which could allow PS4 to retain its second-best selling position because PS4 had sold 17.8 million systems by the same stage. Sony CFO Lin Tao indicated the PS5 lifecycle may extend beyond the traditional seven years. Ghost of Yotei sold 3.3 million copies in just over a month.
