it’s 40 million consoles sold, Sony thanks the players

Less than 3 years after its launch in November 2020, the PS5 is a great commercial success. In a press release published on the PlayStation-Blog, Sony Interactive Entertainment announces that it has sold 40 million consoles worldwide. Given the economic context in which it came out, and faced with the shortage of components that lasted nearly two years, the PS5 is doing with honors, even allowing itself to increase its price, unheard of in the video game industry. Obviously, facing the PS4, the figures are below two short months over the same marketing period. The performance is therefore impressive. Jim Ryan, CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment takes the opportunity to reveal that the machine has more than 2,500 games in its catalog.

We launched PlayStation 5 in 2020 and the world then was different than when we announced the console in 2019. Despite the challenges caused by COVID, our teams and partners worked tirelessly to deliver PS5 on schedule. . We continued to deal with the pandemic, and it took months for supply chains to normalize so that we could have the inventory needed to meet demand. We thanked our community for their patience with these many issues. But today, the PS5 is well supplied and we see that demand is finally being met.

With the support of PlayStation fans, we have reached the milestone of 40 million PS5 consoles sold to gamers since launch. Thank you very much to our community of players, without you it would have been mission impossible.

The PS5 launched with the best catalog of games in our history and the catalog of content continues to grow. From innovative indie games to AAA productions, there are over 2,500 games currently available and there’s never been a better time to experience the PS5. In the past two months alone, our publisher partners have brought us some amazing new games, including Final Fantasy XVI, Diablo IV, and Street Fighter 6.

Since the launch of the PS5, gamers have enjoyed an exceptional selection of games that illustrates that game universes are as vast and creative as any other entertainment medium. Below and attached are 40 games that PlayStation gamers love.
