The PlayStation 5 He already has two weeks between us and, as expected, little by little information about his sales rhythm begins to emerge. Sony, through the official PlayStation Twitter account, confirmed that the PS5 is already the most successful launch in the history of the platform. It’s not just any statement, as the PS4 started off surprisingly in 2013. While this is excellent news for the company, their report falls short.
We want to thank gamers everywhere for making the PS5 launch our biggest console launch ever. Demand for PS5 is unprecedented, so we wanted to confirm that more PS5 inventory will be coming to retailers before the end of the year – please stay in touch with your local retailers.

Following Sony’s statement, there are various sources that validate an even greater achievement: The PlayStation 5 is already the most successful launch of a console in all history. The portal Gamesindustry.biz, one of the most reliable sources in the video game industry, collects the data revealed by Sony itself in 2013. Back then, the PS4 became the best launch of a video game hardware, so it is not difficult to deduce that his successor took the throne from him.

Andrew House, former CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment (now Sony Interactive Entertainment), said in 2013 that the console had sold 2.1 million units in two weeks, so it will be interesting to know how many units it was advanced by the PlayStation 5.
Another source that confirms the information is Daniel Ahmad |, who in recent years has become one of the most respected faces in the industry. “Even though Sony says ‘our greatest’, because they must, it basically means ‘the greatest’, the analyst mentioned.
The PS4 was the “largest console launch ever” if we talk about sell in /through.
So even when Sony says “our biggest”, because they have to, it basically means “the biggest”. https://t.co/3VRgBei3SY
