PlayStation 5, which was released on November 12, 2020 and included new generation hardware, had hit a big obstacle with the coronavirus. The production facilities closed after the restrictions and the supply shortage triggered by the chip crisis prevented PlayStation 5 sales from going at the desired level. While the effects of the chip crisis were relatively relieved, an important statement came from Sony today.

Sony has announced how many PlayStation 5 units it sold in total between April and June in the second quarter of 2022. According to the statement shared about the first quarter of the company’s new fiscal year, Sony has sold a total of 2.4 million PlayStation 5 units in the last 3 months. This number was 2 million last quarter.

Game sales have dropped drastically compared to 1 year ago:

The total number of PlayStation 5 sold by Sony increased to 21.7 million with the latest data. The company’s game sales, on the other hand, experienced a great decline from year to year. While Sony achieved a total of 47.1 million sales in the last 3 months, this number was 17 million less compared to the same period of the previous year. 79% of game sales were digital.

Sony, which has experienced a decline in the PlayStation Plus subscription service, has already begun to see the fruits of its service renewal last June. According to the shared data, Sony has reached 47.3 million PlayStation Plus users. The full impact of the new service is expected to be seen in the next quarter. It is also eagerly awaited how the service will affect game sales.
