PS5 Joins the 100 Million Club as Sony Confirms Massive PlayStation Sales Milestone

Sony has officially crossed a massive milestone with its PlayStation 5, shipping more than 100 million consoles worldwide. The achievement puts PS5 among Sony’s most successful gaming systems, despite a challenging generation marked by shortages and rising hardware prices.

PS5 finally joins the 100 million club

According to Sony’s updated official hardware sales figures, the PS5 crossed 100 million units as of November 10, 2026. This means Sony shipped another 2.1 million consoles since September 30.

It should be noted that Sony’s figure represents shipments to retailers, also known as sell-in, rather than confirmed purchases by consumers. Still, crossing the 100 million mark is a massive achievement for the company.

The PS5 now becomes the fourth Sony home console to reach this milestone. The original PlayStation, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation 4 have also crossed 100 million units. The PS4 has shipped more than 117 million units, while the PS2 remains ahead with over 160 million.

PS5 sales are slowing, but PlayStation remains strong

Interestingly, the milestone arrives despite a noticeable slowdown in hardware shipments. Sony shipped 2.6 million PS5 consoles during July-September 2026, compared with 4 million during the same period last year.

That being said, PlayStation’s broader business continues to perform well. Sony reported 88.2 million PS4 and PS5 software sales during the quarter. PlayStation Network also reached 127 million monthly active users.

Speaking of games, Marvel’s Wolverine has reportedly sold 2.4 million copies as of November 4. The timing is also interesting, with GTA 6 approaching its November 19 release. The blockbuster could potentially encourage more players to purchase a PS5 this holiday season.

Whether that translates into another significant hardware boost remains unclear. We’ll know when the game is out. As of now, the preloading window is live.
