PS5 Sales Just Won’t Quit

The PlayStation 5 has faced plenty of challenges. It was basically impossible to get when it launched during the pandemic. It took a while for it to get its first big, exclusive next-gen blockbusters. In more recent years, a new wave of supply chain shocks have propelled annual price increases rather than the traditional price cuts. Despite all of this, the PS5 has soldiered on. It’s now sold 100 million. That seems surprisingly good, all things considered.

That number was added to Sony’s official console sales tracking page overnight, and is current as of November 10, 2026. That means it’s captured an influx of new console sales thanks to Marvel’s Wolverine and people preparing for the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6, even before the big holiday sales blitz coming later this month and next. That’s also the sell-in number, meaning the total number of PS5s sitting in people’s homes as well as on store shelves at the moment.

As This Week in Video Games points out, Sony reported 2.6 million PS5 console sales in the most recent earnings period ending September 30. That means another 2 million were sold in just October and the first 10 days of November alone.

Just to put this into perspective, here's how much other consoles had sold after 6 years* on the market:

PS4: >103m
PS3: >70m
PS2: >103m
PS1: >77m
Switch: >122m
Wii: >97m
3DS: >65m
DS: >136m
Series: >38m
XOne: >49m
360: >60m

Not too bad for a console that has gone up in cost.… https://t.co/7Z9JIpIh1H
