About this chart

Sony has shipped 95.3 million PS5 consoles as of June 30, 2026, 23 quarters after launch, compared with 100.2 million for the PS4 at the same point. That leaves the PS5 about 5% behind its predecessor. The chart lines both consoles up by quarters since launch, where quarter 1 is the October to December launch quarter: 2020 for the PS5 and 2013 for the PS4.

The PS5's best quarter was 9.5 million in quarter 17 (October to December 2024), close to the PS4's best of 9.7 million in October to December 2016. Annual sell-in by Sony fiscal year runs 7.8 million in FY2020, 11.5 million, 19.1 million, 20.8 million, 18.5 million and 16.0 million in FY2025. Shipments in April to June 2026 were 1.6 million, down from 2.5 million a year earlier. These are sell-in figures, meaning shipments to retailers, not consumer sales. The PS4 line runs 34 quarters to 117.2 million.
