The PlayStation 5 has now surpassed 20 million units sold worldwide and Sony has promised to significantly increase its production efforts within the next six months.<\/p>\n
Sony executive Veronica Rogers told gamesindustry.biz that the company is “planning on a significant ramp-up in PS5 production this year” and is “working endlessly to make sure that PlayStation 5 is available for everyone who wants one.”<\/p>\n
As noted by industry analyst Daniel Ahmad on Twitter (below), the PS5 hit 20 million units in one year, six months, and 22 days (568 days in total) meaning it’s fallen slightly behind the PS4’s record of hitting 20 million units in one year, three months, and 14 days (471 days in total).<\/p>\n
\nFor reference, the PS4 sold 20m units in 15 months and 14 days (471) days.<\/p>\n
The PS5 hits 20m units after 18 months and 22 days (568 days).<\/p>\n
It’s worth noting that the PS5 actually hit 10m faster than the PS4 did. But the issues with supply is the reason why it’s behind now https:\/\/t.co\/TVYbguCjvH<\/p>\n
