PS5 sales have passed the 80 million mark

Sony's PlayStation 5 (PS5) has surpassed the 80 million sales mark as of June 30, 2025, according to the company's latest quarterly results. This puts the PS5 just behind the Xbox 360 (84 million) in lifetime sales and on track to overtake the PS3 (around 87 million). Despite a slight dip in sales compared to the previous quarter, the PS5 has continued to perform well, with Sony selling 2.5 million units in the last three months. The company also saw a significant increase in software sales, with around 66 million PS4 and PS5 games sold, including 7 million first-party titles. The article also notes that the PS5 has faced challenges, such as a "challenging economic environment" leading to price increases in certain markets. However, this has not significantly impacted the console's overall sales performance. As the PS5 approaches its fifth anniversary in November, the focus will shift to whether it can reach the coveted 100 million sales mark, a milestone achieved by its predecessor, the PS4, in a shorter timeframe.
