Sony has sold 77.8 million PS5s to date, but expects a downturn due to tariffs
Briefly

Sony has sold 77.8 million PlayStation 5 units since its launch in 2020, closely matching the PlayStation 4's sales at 79.1 million during a similar period. However, fiscal 2024 sales declined to 18.5 million from 20.8 million in 2023. In contrast, game sales surged by nine percent, increasing the division's operating income by 43% year-over-year, thanks largely to third-party titles. Moving forward, Sony predicts a $700 million sales decline due to tariffs and the postponement of major game launches, considering potential price increases for consumers and domestic production of PS5s.
Sony has sold 77.8 million PlayStation 5s since its launch, closely mirroring PS4 sales, yet forecasts a $700 million revenue hit next year.
Despite a drop in PS5 sales this fiscal year, game sales have risen significantly, boosting operating income by 43% year-over-year, primarily due to third-party titles.
