The PS5 has surpassed 1 million units sold in the UK, after just 39 weeks. This makes it PlayStation’s fastest-selling console in UK history.
The sales milestone was reached in August, according to retail and sales tracker GfK. The PS5 achieved this three weeks earlier than its predecessor, the PS4. According to GamesIndustry.biz, the PS4 was actually ahead of the PS5 in sales right up until July, in large part because of the latter’s limited availability.
The PS5’s fortunes turned once more stock became widely available – though the console remains heavily supply-constrained in the UK and elsewhere. Trailing behind PS5 is the Nintendo Switch, followed by Xbox Series X and S.
