PlayStation 5 broke a record and lived its best month in its history
That was not all the good news for Sony, but the company also confirmed that the PlayStation 5 has just experienced its best month in terms of sales, precisely December 2022.
As we informed you, at the beginning of November Sony confirmed that 25 million PlayStation 5 consoles had already been sold, so in 2 months it sold around 5 million more. The foregoing coincides with the interest of the public, as we remember that the PlayStation 5 was the most searched console on the Internet during 2022.
In case you missed it: the shortage seriously affected PlayStation 5 sales.
While sales might seem a bit low compared to the PlayStation 4 or other consoles from another generation, this is an incredible achievement for PlayStation considering that Sony’s current console debuted at the end of 2020 in the midst of a pandemic that affected the entire industry with unprecedented shortages whose effects continue to be felt.
Unfortunately, unlike other years, Sony did not share more figures for its products or services, such as PlayStation Plus, so data and statistics lovers will have to wait for a future report.
