The Asian company's latest console has been well received by video game fans, based on fiscal 2020 financial results.
Sony has managed to sell 7.8 million units of the new generation PlayStation 5 console (PS5) since its launch in November last year until this March 31st, as revealed by the company in its financial results for fiscal year 2020.
Sony’s total video game business, which includes both its console hardware and software, posted revenue of approximately $ 21 billion, 35% more than last year and a record for the Japanese company.
The launch of PS5, with 7.8 million units sold worldwide until March 31st, 2021, surpassed the figures of its predecessor, the PS4 console, which in the same period of time reached 7.6 million consoles sold.
Of the total sales, 4.5 million were produced from its launch in November to December, while 3.3 million correspond to the first three months of 2021. The console is currently facing supply problems due to the shortage of processors that it affects the global industry.
PS4 also continues to increase its sales, and is consolidated as Sony’s second best-selling console only behind PS2, with 115.9 million units sold since its launch in 2013, and adding a million more in the first quarter of 2021.
