PlayStation 5 has now sold 40 million consoles worldwide, Sony has announced.
By comparison, PlayStation 4 — the fastest-selling PlayStation console to 40 million — achieved the same feat two months quicker. The PS5 was severely impacted by component shortages, which meant Sony was unable to supply the demand for the system during the first two years on the market. The console is now in full supply.
The milestone follows a strong June for PS5 across Europe, with sales up 116% compared with the same period in 2022.
