PlayStation 5 Passes 100 Million Units Sold
The milestone lands as the console's price sits $200 above its launch level, leaving its performance open to two readings.
Sony's PlayStation 5 has passed 100 million units sold, a figure added to its official sales tracker overnight and current as of November 10, 2026. Sony reported 2.6 million PS5 sales for the quarter ending September 30, so roughly another 2 million moved in October and the first ten days of November, helped by Marvel's Wolverine and anticipation for Grand Theft Auto 6. Measured at a comparable point in its life cycle, the PS5 trails the PS4 and PS2, which were each near 103 million, while still well ahead of the PS1, PS3 and Wii. The number is being read two ways: as a sign Sony underperformed given Xbox's struggles, or as evidence the console held up despite tariff-driven price rises and component shortages. The PS5's price is now $200 higher than at launch.
Why it matters
The figure matters most to people weighing Sony's position in the console market. Sony's official tracker now shows the PS5 at 100 million sold, but it has not yet matched the pace of the PS4, which was at a similar point in its life cycle at about 103 million. Some will read that gap as a sign Sony underperformed, while others will see a console that kept selling despite a higher price. For consumers, the $200 increase over launch is the detail that shapes how the result is judged.
