Sony’s next-generation console, the PlayStation 5, has surpassed a significant milestone in the US market. According to analyst firm Circana, PS5 sales have surpassed those of the PS3, surpassing the total lifetime sales of the previous generation.

PS5 sales surpass PS3: Here are the details

Data shared by industry analyst Mat Piscatella underscores this remarkable achievement. It took the PS5 a much shorter time to reach this sales level than the PS3’s entire lifecycle. This clearly demonstrates the strong and sustained demand for the console.

Furthermore, the PS5’s sales trend is even ahead of the PS4 in its current lifecycle. Sony confirmed that this momentum has been ongoing for some time. This trend reinforces the PS5’s strong market position and hints at its future potential.

Next goal: Global leadership
While this success is currently limited to the US market, the console’s global performance is also quite impressive. Global sales of the PS5 have surpassed 80 million units. However, it’s already very close to the PS3’s total sales of 88 million units. Therefore, analysts say it’s only a matter of time before the global record is broken.
