PlayStation 5 passes 100 million consoles shipped
Sony's sales page confirms the milestone, placing the PS5 with the PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 4 among consoles that have reached the mark.
Sony has confirmed that the PlayStation 5 reached 100 million units shipped as of November 10, 2026, according to its Business Data and Sales page. Developers and platform watchers will note that this places the console alongside the original PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 4 in the group of consoles that have passed that mark. Only the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo Switch have also shipped more than 100 million units among home consoles, which makes this a rare achievement in the industry.
Why it matters
The milestone puts the PS5 in a small group of home consoles that have shipped more than 100 million units, with only the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo Switch above it on that list. For Sony it is a sign of sustained demand well after launch, and for the wider industry it shows how few platforms reach that scale. Game makers and platform watchers can read it as evidence of a large installed base, though the figure reports units shipped rather than active use.
