CPU (the general-purpose processor at the centre of a computer) GPU (a chip built for many calculations at once, used for graphics and AI) Console Sony's Business Data & Sales page now lists the PS5 at more than 100 million units as of November 10 , 2026.

These are sell-in figures, meaning consoles shipped to retailers rather than bought by players, and they include returned and refurbished units. The PS5 joins the original PlayStation (more than 102.4 million), the PS2 (more than 160 million) and the PS4 (more than 117 million) as the fourth PlayStation console past 100 million.

The PS5 launched in November 2020, so the milestone took almost six years. Adding up Sony's quarterly figures puts the PS5 at about 97.9 million units at the end of September, so roughly 2.1 million more consoles shipped in the six weeks before November 10.

That window lines up with the run-up to GTA VI, which launches on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. It did not get there quickly, though.

The PS4 crossed 100 million in about five years and seven months, and the PS2 did it in five years and nine months, according to Sony's 2005 announcement . That makes the PS5 the third-fastest PlayStation to reach the mark.
