Sony has now sold 46.5m PlayStation 5 units.
That’s according to its latest financial earnings report, where hardware sales for the last quarter were 4.9m – a Q2 record for a PlayStation console. As previously reported in August, Sony had then sold 41.7m units.
Sony stated these sales were in-line with expectations and a 25 percent increase on PS4 units sold in the equivalent period (Q2 FY17). Further, the 4.9m PS5 consoles sold in Q2 is a 48 percent increase compared to last year, likely owing to increased stock.
The company’s target of 25m PS5 units sold this fiscal year remains unchanged – it hopes the PS5 Slim model and PS Portal will boost sales, as well as the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 that’s already sold over 5m copies.
