Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) has updated the cumulative worldwide hardware sales figures (shipments) for the PS5 to “over 100 million units (as of November 10, 2026)” on the Business Data and Sales Results page of its official website.
From approximately 97.9 million units at the end of September, it reached the 100-million mark in just over a month
According to the quarterly PS5 sales figures (shipments) listed on the page, the cumulative total as of September 30, 2026, was 97.9 million units.Shipments for July–September 2026 totaled 2.6 million units, and as reported in a Game*Spark article on November 5, “approximately 2.1 million units remain to reach 100 million.”
In our previous article, we predicted that reaching the 100-million-unit milestone would likely become clear around February 2027, during the third-quarter earnings announcement.
However, in reality, the remaining approximately 2.1 million units were shipped in about a month and a half—from October 1 to November 10—and the sales results page was updated before the earnings announcement. Note that “shipments” refer to units shipped to retailers and differ from actual retail sales to consumers.
On November 19, the “PS5 Digital Edition” will be released in a new color, “Midnight Black,” and “Grand Theft Auto VI” is also set to launch on the same day. The company has reached this major milestone just ahead of the peak holiday shopping season.
100 million units, following the original PS, PS2, and PS4
The cumulative worldwide sales figures (shipments) for PlayStation hardware listed on the same page are as follows:
PS2: Over 160 million units (as of March 31, 2012)
PS4: Over 117 million units (as of June 30, 2022)
PS1: Over 102.4 million units (as of March 31, 2012)
PS5: Over 100 million units (as of November 10, 2026)
PS3: Over 87.4 million units (as of March 31, 2017)
PSP: Over 76.4 million units (as of March 31, 2012)
*Figures for the “PS Vita” are not disclosed
The PS5 is the fourth PlayStation console to surpass cumulative sales of 100 million units, following the original PlayStation, PS2, and PS4.
According to the quarterly data on the same page, the PS4 reached cumulative sales of 100 million units in the April–June 2019 quarter—just over five and a half years after its launch—while the PS5, released in November 2020, reached that milestone in about six years. Although it took slightly longer than the PS4, it has finally reached the same major milestone as its predecessor.
With the release of “GTA 6” on the horizon, the PS5 is expected to see further sales growth during the year-end shopping season. It will also be interesting to see how close it can get to the PS4’s final cumulative total of 117 million units.
