At the end of November, we learned that the next-generation PlayStation 5 console boasts the best debut of all PlayStation so far. Although Sony did not disclose specific sales results at the time, the interest in the equipment is undoubtedly high, although due to the very limited availability it is missing in stores. According to preliminary assumptions, the Japanese company planned to deliver about 5-6 million PS5 by March 2021, while later services such as Bloomberg reported that due to high demand it was decided to increase console production and deliver only until the end of 2020 year to 10 million copies. We don’t know the official sales figures yet, but the Taiwanese DigiTimes report comes in handy.

DigiTimes revealed the results of PlayStation 5 sales. A total of 3.4 million copies were delivered to stores in four weeks. By the end of 2021, even a million consoles 18 will be produced.

DigiTimes reports are not always fully accurate, but in this case they largely coincide with previous information about Sony’s plans. According to the Taiwanese website PlayStation 5, which debuted 12 on November, among others in the USA and Japan, and in Europe, including Poland, 19 in November this year, it sold in the first four weeks with a circulation of 3.4 million copies, which is a record in the history of PlayStation. It should be emphasized that we are talking about consoles sent to stores, and not delivered to the end user.

How do PS5 sales compare to their older brother? For comparison, PlayStation 4, which was released 15 on November in the US and 29 November 2013 of the year in Europe, sold in two weeks with a circulation of 2.1 million, while by the end 2013 a total of 4.2 million units were delivered to stores (during one and a half months). In the face of unofficial reports, it can rather be assumed that in a similar period, PlayStation 5 sales were slightly higher (4.5-5 million?), Although still limited by significant problems with availability, because not all interested parties managed to get the desired copy. The situation will begin to gradually improve in 2021 year – according to DigiTimes, Sony can deliver to the market by the end of 2021 even 16, 8 – 18 million consoles, of which a large number is to be destined for Asian countries. We remind you that the PS5 appeared in stores in two versions: full-fledged for PLN 2299 and Digital Edition (without Blu-ray optical drive) for 1849 PLN.
