Sony has their annual report presented and revealed new sales figures for the PS5, which are approaching the 8 million mark despite the difficult conditions.
Since the launch in November, this has been possible 7.8 million units The PS5 was sold for 3.3 million more units in the last quarter of the fiscal year. While this represents a slight decline in performance, it is likely due to the difficulties in availability and production. Demand for the PS5 remains enormous.
Nevertheless, the overall target for the financial year was exceeded by a good 200.000 units.
PlayStation 4 decline
Sales figures for the PlayStation 4 continue to decline, now reaching [unclear] worldwide. 115.9 million units sold This represents a decline of approximately one million consoles compared to the same period last year.
PlayStation Plus is gaining ground
Da PlayStation Plus A significant factor for the PS5 is the continued climb in subscriber numbers, which currently stand at 47.6 million, an increase of 6.1 million users. This is likely also due to the significantly more attractive offering on the PS5, where more and more top titles are available on day one, most recently... Oddworld soulstorm.
In terms of pure software sales, approximately 61.4 million units were sold for the PS5 and PS4 combined, a slight decrease compared to the same period last year. 7.9 million of these units were first-party games directly from Sony, also a slight decrease.
Finally, it is confirmed that almost 80 percent (+10%) of all titles are now sold digitally, which is displacing discs more than usual in the PS5 generation. However, the coronavirus pandemic likely plays a significant role here.
It's interesting that more PS5s were sold than PS4s in the first 6 months after release…
Most people think there are fewer consoles this generation, but there are actually more.
I hope they abandon the cross-gene plan since the numbers are positive.
Not bad, a very quiet sale…you mostly only hear about the controversy with the resellers, I haven't seen it listed as available since release, only read about it.
