Games like Hogwarts Legacy and Dead Space Remake, which were released throughout the year, contributed to the positive acceleration of console sales. With the popularity of PS special games such as The Last of Us, faces began to smile at Sony. PlayStation 5 sales broke records compared to last year.
PlayStation 5 became the best-selling console of the year in terms of units
When the PlayStation 5 was released in 2020, it was very difficult to find stock. But nowadays stock issues have been resolved and it has become competitive in price point. Recent research by analyst Matt Piscatella showed that spending on gaming hardware has increased by 68 percent compared to a year ago.
It has been observed that the spending in the gaming industry has recently increased to 888 million dollars. This growth is due to the PlayStation 5, which is the best-selling console in terms of both dollars and units compared to the same time in 2022.
The success of the PS5 not only broke hardware records, but surpassed all previous PlayStation consoles. The revenue of the next-generation console marked the largest first quarter in the industry’s history, not only compared to previous models, but also compared to all game consoles.
However, Sony wants to further intensify the competition in the console world. Accordingly, rumors began to circulate that the Pro version of PlayStation 5 is being worked on. PlayStation 5 Pro has entered the testing phase. Sony may be looking to release the PS5 Pro in late 2024.
