PlayStation 5 has officially surpassed 100m consoles sold, Sony's updated sales data revealed. The milestone was reached on 10th November, almost exactly six years on from the console's launch.

The figure represents 'sell-in' units, meaning those shipped to retailers, as opposed to 'sell-through' which tracks consoles actually sold to consumers. In other words, the number of PS5s in people's homes is smaller than that 100m.

Nevertheless, this is an impressive achievement, and gets the PS5 ever closer to the PS4's 117m, which it achieved by June 2022. It also means the PS5 has almost matched the original PlayStation in units sold (102.4m). As impressive as the numbers are, historical data shows that PS5 sales have been in decline.
