"Achieving this PS5 sales milestone is a testament to the unwavering support of the global PlayStation community and their passion for the incredible experiences created by the talented developers from PlayStation Studios and our partners. We?re grateful for all of our players who have joined the PS5 journey so far, and we?re thrilled that this is the first holiday season since launch that we have a full supply of PS5 consoles ? so anyone who wants to get one can get one."
-Jim Ryan, President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment
The milestone puts the PlayStation 5 console at the 15th best-selling gaming console of all time if you go purely by units sold. This puts it just above the SNES which sold a little over 49 million and behind the Xbox One which has sold about 58 million units since its release in 2013. For comparison, the best-selling console of all time is the PlayStation 2 which sold over 155 million units in its lifetime.
