Sony PS5 sales hit 77 million units, almost on par with PS4's at same point

  • Sony reported that PlayStation 5 shipments reached 77.8 million units worldwide as of March 31, 2025, nearly matching PS4's pace at the same lifecycle point.
  • This performance followed a fiscal year with 18.5 million PS5 units sold, down from 20.8 million the previous year, affected by factors including a challenging economic environment and a major game delay.
  • Sony increased PS5 prices in some regions due to inflation, fluctuating exchange rates, and tariffs, while the delay of Grand Theft Auto VI to May 26, 2026, disrupted momentum for the console's sales growth.
  • Sony also highlighted a rise to 124 million monthly active PlayStation Network users and software sales reaching 303 million units, with digital downloads comprising 76 percent of sales.
  • The data suggests Sony faces continued sales pressure for PS5 amid economic challenges and product timing, while expanding network engagement and software sales could support its ecosystem growth.
