PlayStation game sales across all console generations surpass 5.82 billion units
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
Sony’s latest Q2 earnings report outlines all key PlayStation metrics, including revenue, hardware, and software shipments. Let’s focus on the latter.
According to data published by Sony, the total number of PlayStation software units has reached 5.827 billion across all console generations – from PSP to PlayStation 5. Sony does not disclose software sales figures for PlayStation Vita, so this number is even higher.
PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles account for the largest share – 1.997 billion games sold, with the majority coming from PS4.
Q2 game sales and revenue figures decreased slightly year-over-year to $1.313 billion. Revenue from physical game sales rose to $268 million, while digital game revenue dropped to $1.045 billion.
From July to September 2022, Sony sold 62.5 million games across digital and physical distribution channels. This represents an 18% decline in game sales volume and nearly 14 million fewer units than in Q2 2021.
Sony leadership acknowledged the decline in first-party and third-party game sales in the second quarter, but remains confident that “juggernauts” like Modern Warfare 2 and God of War Ragnarok will help stabilize revenues during the holidays.
