Forums - Sales - PS5 ships 84.2M by 30.09.2025. LT sales expectations?

 

Lifetime sales expectations?

100-110M 5 13.16%
 
110-120M 17 44.74%
 
120-130M 11 28.95%
 
130M+ 5 13.16%
 
Total:38

I would be pleasantly surprised if PS5 sold more than 120 and some of y'all saying 130? Yesh.

110-120

Just a reminder here, for the future predictions made, for quarters and the fiscal year. Even if a Quarter 3 is little bit down (which is debatable given the last two, but let's say it will be somewhat down) we are still looking at holiday quarter with at least 8M? Which will put the lifetime shipments at 92M and a Q4 of at least 2M in the low end scenario. So we are looking at at least 94-95M when the Fiscal Year is done.

ps5 will be close to 100 M by the time GTA VI launches next fall..... I do believe GTA 6 with xbox kind of dropping off, would do extremely well on PS, and could push the tail end of the consoles life a bit. 120+M is not unrealistic.

PS5 Will match PS4, It will sell 110M-120M.

I totally agree. I used to say 110-120 but now I'm sure for 120-130.

I feel 120m is on lock.

Probably Sony will transition quickly again and move people onto the portable system or PS6 if its aiming for a relatively mass market price, so I think it will have a sudden end of life similar to PS4.

They might keep making PS5's and sell them cheap as their entry level console. If this happens, I expect it to beat not just the PS4 launch aligned, but also the PS6 for a year or so. It could go like PS2 vs PS3 early in that generation. Sony's focus is shifting towards active spenders.

Either that, or there will be a "Vita TV" style version of the portable PS6 at launch, in which case PS5 won't be needed, because they may be able to price that as low as a digital PS5.



I think they'll cross 120m pretty easily, even if PS6 launches in Holiday 2027. GTA 6 next year will be a boost, and I can't imagine there being another pandemic (the pandemic definitely cut into PS4's last years, otherwise it too likely would've crossed 120m). If PS6 doesn't release until 2028 then that would make it likely for PS5 to even surpass 130m.



I think lifetime, the PS5 will finish similarly to the PS4.
