Very possible. I know this Nov, and December will be big for them with GTA6
If a PS6 Summer announcement happens, it could make people wait. Depends if price is cheaper or not. And launch lineup is unique?
Will they drop the PS5 Price with PS6 launch? Will they delay PS6? Quite a few factors, but yeah PS5 could do another 20m, just depends whats happening. I have no idea what they gonna be doing tbh
Could be that the last reported figure was sell through while the 100M is shipped (and sold to retailers) but idk
GTA6 PS5 is gonna do big ass numbers.
The GOATs of home consoles.
Says (Sell-in). So sold.

Looking to me like PS5 will become the second most successful Playstation system by unit sales when all is said and done, which is an incredible feat given the pricing challenges they've had to face
Despite Covid and crazy Hardware costs increases, its done really well. And they made all the silly mistakes like PC ports, Gaas, annoying fans etc.
Its gonna end up in the top 3-5 best selling console/home consoles after PS2, Switch, DS, PS4 etc
I don’t see PS5 selling more than PS4, maybe with GTA6
If they price PS6 right, marketing it well and do a bunch of great exclusives, PS6 could sell more than PS4 and closer to PS2.
And with the handheld they can catch up and beat their PS3 Japan numbers of 13+million. That should be their targets next gen + lots of good exclusives, small, big, niche etc

It's gonna outsell the PS4
They had everyone going against them and still did it. From Covid to Ramflation.
It’s really a great console, you can’t really go wrong with owning one.
I remember in the early gen when many users thought it wouldn’t even beat the PS3
They sold 2.1 million consoles in 40 days. That’s absurd when it starts at $599. The brand hasn’t really ever been stronger.

As expected with the milestone, will pass Wii en PS One before next week easily.

Following Sony Group’s recent quarterly financial report confirming 97.9 million units shipped as of September 30, 2026, the new milestone indicates an additional 2.1 million units shipped in the 40 days since.

Nice.
Btw, I remember some people here told me PS5 was never going to reach 100M
And then will continue to slowly sell during many years more. I think it will end closer to DS+Switch+PS2 than to PS4 because of the people who still is in PS4 is way bigger than late adopters than in other generations at this point and because of the proportion of sales that the previous PS consoles had after the release of their succesor.

Sold-in / sold to retailers / "shipped"
Depending on how big the GTA6 bump is, PS5 could outsell the PS4 before the release of PS6. If not, it will outsell it the year after the PS6 release.
