PS5 Has Now Officially Outsold Every Xbox Console Ever Released

Sony's PlayStation 5 sold 84.2 million units by September 2025, surpassing Xbox 360's official sales despite a price increase and strong exclusives lineup.

  • On September 30, Sony Corporation announced the PlayStation 5 has sold 84.2 million copies worldwide, officially surpassing every Xbox console in published tallies, including the Xbox 360.
  • Despite price increases, PS5 sales rose while Sony's Game & Network Services division generated more revenue this generation, making it the most financially successful PlayStation, Nishino-san said.
  • Quarterly data show the PlayStation 5 shifted 3.9 million units during the three-month period ending September 30, slightly up from 3.8 million in the year-over-year quarter comparison.
  • Analysts note Microsoft does not publish combined Xbox Series X and S sales, and because it has not updated Xbox 360 figures, the PS5 is officially ahead in public records.
  • After five years the PS5 remains slightly behind the PlayStation 4's five‑year sell‑in of more than 86.1 million, and Sony is discussing PlayStation 6 while PS5 exclusives like Insomniac's Marvel's Wolverine arrive next year.
