According to industry sources, Sony’s new generation PlayStation 5 console would have sold a quantity close to 3.4 million units in the first month after its launch, which is a milestone by surpassing releases like its predecessor, the PS4, as well as the Nintendo Switch or the Xbox One.

Ahead of PS5 manufacturing would have allowed Sony to sell more units than Microsoft

Its direct competition, the Xbox Series X, would have sold over 2 million units. The reason that Sony’s console is in the first place would have to do directly with the production capacity of the Japanese, who started before with production in a market that, today more than ever, has problems meeting demand.

In fact, the stock of these consoles sold out quickly and the new units have also done so in the middle of the Christmas season. This situation has been helped by the emergence of bot networks and resellers who insure the units that are going on the market to resell them later on portals such as Ebay for prices significantly higher than the official ones.

The Sony plans to reach a figure between 16, 8 million units and 18 million units once the close 2021 is finished to get to beat the PlayStation 4 and make the PS5 their biggest hit.
