It will reach 100mill,but ps6 will be the greatest dissaster sony has ever seen.

Mark my words.



PS5 ships almost 98M as of 30.09.2026. The poll was reset. Vote now! As always, the previous one is in the bottom of the original post.

115-125 seems like the best choice here given the current cli



Im still hoping for under 110

I'm going for 125-140 simply because i'm expecting it to have much better longevity compared to the PS4, a big factor in this will be the pricepoint of the PS6, in 2020 buying a 500€ PS5 to replace my PS4 seemed like a no brainer, but now buying a 1000€+ PS6 to replace my PS5 seems kinda hard to justify at least on paper



I'm still saying PS4 numbers. But perhaps more like Zeltaz13 said actually.



If a PS6 Lite is launched in 2027, it will likely replace PS5 as the new entry point to the ecosystem. But even in this scenario, the PS5 has a good chance outselling PS4, because PS4's production fell off a cliff several months before the PS5 launched. For a plethora of reasons it's highly unlikely for PS5 to repeat that, but I don't know if it would sell enough to close the gap before high volume production ends.

PS4 sold 13.6 million units in FY2019, and a measly 5.7 million in FY2020. PS4's sales never reached their true potential (130 million+). Production was abruptly cut and Sony suffered over 3 years of shortages starting from around March 2020. PS6 won't see a fraction of the demand levels the PS5 had in early years. Sony's ecosystem is no longer tied to their latest hardware, which is favorable for PS5.



Yes, I woud actually say 135 million now. But if PS All Stars 2 comes out, it will be 190M ^^



New update from Sony. PS5 ships 100M as of November 10th. Vote now, who hasn't yet.
