The news has been spreading around the internet in the wake of Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Hideaki Nishino's speech at the Tokyo Game Show. He confirmed that since launch the platform has generated $136B in sales so far, making it the most successful PS console after less than 5 years on the market and with more to come.

"In comparison, G&NS made $107 billion from 2013-2019, aka the PS4 generation. The graph revealed that, over the past 31 years since the original PS1’s launch, each subsequent console generation has brought in more money than the last. For reference, sales during the PS3 lifecycle were $71 billion, the PS2 $44 billion, and the PS1 $24 billion."

"It should be emphasized that these revenue figures encompass sales across the entire G&NS business during the time periods in question. So, that huge $136 billion in sales during the PS5 generation will include money Sony continues to make from PS4 hardware and software."

What do you make of this news?

The most expensive console that even raised the price several times afterwards brought in the most revenue. Shocking.

Most successful in financial terms perhaps, and even just perhaps, as we don't know the expenses of the Playstation during the same time. Because if those are high, then it could very well be that PS1,2 or 4 were more successful than 5 even in those financial terms they're bragging about to.
