It looks like the end times for the PlayStation 5 are drawing near. The console has now sold 93.7 million units over its lifetime, making it the eighth-best-selling console of all time; however, it just had its worst quarter ever.
This comes as Sony anticipates profits for the coming year to remain flat, "Due to the incorporation of an increase in investments for the next-generation platform."
Last quarter, between January and March 2026, Sony shipped 1.5 million PS5 consoles, according to an investor report released today. That's significantly lower than any other quarter, with sales never dipping below two million until now.
These sales make FY2025 the worst for the console since FY2021, when console shortages were still an issue following the PS5's launch.
