According to a new financial report, the PlayStation 5 is estimated to be outselling Xbox consoles almost three to one. Both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S systems were released in the winter of 2020, though their launches were initially hindered by supply and shipping issues brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

These past years have been particularly kind to Sony, as the PlayStation 5 has consistently ranked highly on global sales charts since its release. Over 61 million PS5 consoles have been sold as of August 2024, though it should be noted that these sales saw a 27% drop that month.
