Sony has predicted a record-breaking 25 million PS5 shipments in the coming year

After recording the division’s best Q4 revenue period ever, Sony is only aiming higher when it comes to PlayStation. For the coming fiscal year (April 2023-March 2024), it estimates shipments of 25 million PS5 consoles, which would be the highest ever for any PlayStation console in history, if it achieves it. The total number of PS5s to hit store shelves will then reach 63.4 million.

During the same period, the PS4 managed around 60 million units, so the PS5 will outsell the last-gen console at that point. It’s possible that Sony may also meet the target, as it managed to ship 19.1 million systems in the fiscal year just ended. And that included a period in the beginning when PS5 stock was still limited. With the stock now free-flowing, however, the estimate doesn’t seem entirely unrealistic.
