PlayStation 5 Hits Fresh Sales Milestone, Sony Confirms

Sony has announced a new PlayStation 5 sales milestone of 80.3 million units shipped worldwide, as part of its latest financial results.

That total is accurate as of June 30, 2025, and represents an additional 2.5 million consoles shipped during the preceeding three months — an amount that’s very slightly up on the same period last year.

It’s a good-looking set of results for Sony, with PlayStation Network subscribers up seven million year-on-year, for a total of 123 million users.

Combined sales of PS5 and PS4 games hit 65.9 million copies for the past quarter — another rise year-on-year, by 12.3 million. Of these, 6.9 million units were of Sony’s own first-party games, a figure that’s up by 900,000 from the same time last year.

After five years on sale, the PS5 is now bearing down on the lifetime totals for Xbox 360 (~84 million) and PS3 (87 million) — though it still has some way to go until it reaches the heights of some other consoles.

Sony’s PS2 remains the best-selling console of all time, with 160 million units sold. The original Nintendo Switch is close behind on a total of 153 million, with PS4 on 117 million and the original PlayStation on 102 million.

How many more consoles can Sony sell this generation? This largely depends on how long this generation has left, with one report suggesting the PS6 launch is pencilled in for 2027.
