PlayStation 5 becomes fastest-selling Sony console in company’s history

Despite a shortage of supply, the PlayStation 5 has sold over 10 million units around the world as the fastest-selling console in the company’s history.

As reported by Hypebeast, Sony had initially revealed that they sold eight million PS5 consoles in March as they outsold the PS4.

However, when speaking to Reuters, Sony CEO Jim Ryan is quoted by Hypebeast saying:

“We’ve built more PlayStations faster than we ever have before which makes me happy. But on the other hand, we’re some time from being able to meet all the demand that’s out there, which makes me feel bad.

“I can’t express enough the deep gratitude we feel for our passionate community of PlayStation fans who have embraced PS5, and the world-class development and publishing partners who bring such incredible gaming experiences to our platforms,” Ryan added.

“While PS5 has reached more households faster than any of our previous consoles, we still have a lot of work ahead of us as demand for PS5 continues to outstrip supply.”
