Sony's latest financial results reveal that the company has sold 19.3 million PlayStation 5 consoles as of 31st March 2022, missing the company's previous target.
As of the last count up to 31st December 2021, PlayStation 5 had shifted 17.3 million units, meaning that the in-demand console has sold an additional 2 million within the last three months. These aren't bad numbers by any stretch, by this point in the PlayStation 4's lifecycle, the last-gen console had surpassed 22 million units sold.
Sony had hoped that the PlayStation 5 would also surpass this number, stating last year that it planned to sell 14.8 million units of PS5 within the console's second financial year (1st April 2021 - 31st March 2022). Adding these numbers onto the console's previous sales on of 7.8 million in its first financial year would have brought PS5 sales up to 22.6 million. However, with the console only managing to shift 11.5 million units in the last financial year, Sony hasn't quite managed to hit this target. This is certainly down to stock issues, rather than a lack of demand, with the console still difficult to find in the wild in many territories.
