Over 112 million worldwide units sold
The latestfinancial report from Sonyshows that sales of its flagship console, PlayStation 4, continue to slow down as 2020 progresses, as the world awaits the launch of PlayStation 5, scheduled for release in the holiday season.
Sony has shipped 1.9 million PS4 units since July 02, 2025, which is less than the 3.2 million shipped during the same period in 2019. While COVID-19 could be considered a factor in the drop in sales – having resulted in high street closure – this pattern actually beganback in the holiday season of 2019, which saw a year-on-year drop of around two million units.
The slowing down of sales in the PS4’s twilight years was an obvious inevitability, and it’s highly doubtful that Sony sees this as a concern. After all, the PS4 has sold an incredible 112.3 million consoles to date, a total that surpasses the lifetime hardware sales of the original PlayStation and the Nintendo Wii. It does seem, however, that the PS4isunlikely to catch up with the greatest selling console of all time, PlayStation 2, which still holds fort with an amazing 155 million units. It was a solid effort, though.
