Almost at the end of January, Sony and PlayStation made an announcement that would certainly allow them to look at the next eleven months with more composure. Yes, there will be more stock for the PlayStation 5 and it will be easier to find one at your favorite retailer or department store.. Furthermore, we have a feeling that this shortage of next-gen consoles is starting to ease since some very nice PlayStation numbers flooded the internet a few days ago.
Putting aside encouraging numbers for PlayStation Plus, which are back on the rise after two consecutive months of decline, and stellar sales from Sony’s Game & Network division, It was also about the sales of the PlayStation 5 in the last quarter, which stretched from the beginning of October to the end of December and peaked at more than 7 million copies, already allowing the group to record its best financial year.

This means that the sales figures for the month of January after the “boom” of the year-end celebrations are at least as excellent as compared to the same period last year PS5 sales are up over 98% as reported by Christopher Dring. Another sign of this improvement on the console stock side: the game sales chart where God of War: Ragnarök took second place. We can only hope that the next two months will follow this trend and maybe Sony will reach its annual targets.
