Sony’s PS5 has hit another major milestone, as the company confirms that PS5 worldwide sales have surpassed 100 million in 2026. This is a milestone that Sony was bound to reach. It was only a matter of time given how close it was the last time Sony reported numbers. It also now makes the PS5 Sony’s third-best-selling console, sitting behind the PS2 and the original PS1. Though it also still trails behind the likes of some of Nintendo’s most popular consoles.
Sony’s reporting is from its latest earnings report as of November 10, which doesn’t leave it a lot of time left to get more hardware sales in before the end of the year. Especially with the price increases that took place more recently. That being said, GTA 6 is just around the corner, and that will be a console seller.
PS5 worldwide sales reach 100 million for 2026
With Sony now at 100 million consoles sold for the PS5, and that includes sales of both the PS5 and PS5 Pro, the question will be whether it can get much closer to the PS2’s numbers, which has reached over 160 million units sold before the end of its life. It’s almost unfathomable that the PS5 will be able to hit those numbers with the PS6 not far off now. However, it has a chance to beat the PS1, which Sony reports has sold 102.4 million. Meanwhile the PS4 has sold over 117 million.
In addition to Sony consoles, Nintendo has surpassed the 100 million mark for more than a few pieces of hardware. In fact, Genki on X notes that there are 8 consoles ever to reach 100 million. This includes the PS1, the PS2, the PS4, and now the PS5 in Sony’s camp. The other four consoles are the Nintendo Wii, the Game Boy, the Nintendo DS, and the Nintendo Switch.
