Sony Interactive Entertainment in its financial results announced it has shipped 80.3 million PlayStation 5 consoles as of June 30, 2025.
With 80.3 million PlayStation 5 consoles shipped that means 2.5 million units were shipped from April to June. This is up 0.1 million from the same quarter in 2024 when 2.4 million units were shipped.
For reference, the PlayStation 4 had shipped 3.2 million units in the same quarter for a lifetime total of 82.4 million units shipped as of June 30, 2018. This puts the PS5 behind shipped PS4 units by 2.1 million units.
There were a total of 65.9 million games sold on the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 for the quarter. This is up 12.3 million from 53.6 million during the same period a year earlier. Digital sales accounted for 83 percent of software sales.
There were 6.9 million first-party games sold across the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. This is up 0.9 million from 6.0 million a year ago.
There were 123 million monthly active users on the PlayStation Network, an increase of 7 million from 116 million a year ago.
Sony's Game & Network Services Segment for the quarter ending June 30, 2025, reported revenue increased 71.6 billion yen ($0.49 billion) year-over-year to 936.5 billion yen ($6.34 billion), while operating income increased 82.7 billion yen ($0.56 billion) to 148.0 billion yen ($1.00 billion).

My prediction for the PS5 is that it will reach the PS3's lifetime sales by the end of the year, which is still possible. In my opinion, Sony needs to run a promotion during the holiday season and a big PlayStation showcase in September or October, showcasing more of the upcoming games, such as Wolverine, Naughty Dog, and Santa Monica.
There are two quarters left till the end of the year, the system will reach 90m. by the end of the year.
Indeed and their end March 31st, 2026 forecast is 92.8M ( 2 months before GTA6 )
¥148b Operating income for the quarter might be an all-time record for the division
Yes...and there was a thread on here called "the public suicide of PlayStation". The division is doing better than ever, what a suicide that is.
Sony is doing very well, Sony's net profits rose 23.3% between April and June, on its first fiscal quarter, with earnings of 259,027 million yen (€1.5 billion). Sony posted an operating profit of 339,955 million yen (€1.975 billion) in those three months, a 36.5% increase year-over-year, according to its financial report released yesterday. This is good for us gamers, long live PlayStation!
So vgchartz under track?

@trunkswd:
I think you've pretty much nailed the sell-through estimates for PS5 so far, very well done!
That's a pretty good Q1.
I had expected a bit worse numbers than that tbh.
Especially that hardware is up (even if only by 0.1m) is very nice to read.
That 2.3m gap to PS4 - damn, still pretty close, considering all circumstances since release. The PS4 generation saw no new GTA, so GTA6 could/will probably reduce that gap over the span of its console exclusivity.
Yup, that's it, all numbers look pretty healthy to me for the quarter that historically tends to be weaker than the other three.
Crazy to think that PS4 went its whole lifetime without a new GTA title. I do think you are right - that GTA VI will cause a healthy bump in PS5 sales. I also think that the vast/all majority of new console sales from GTA VI will be for PS5. By the time it releases, even more mainstream gamers will be starting to understand Microsoft's new strategy of putting first-party games on PS5. So they will be thinking why consider Xbox Series at all when I can play Xbox Series games, plus all PS5 titles, on PS5?
83 % digital software sales... a clear sign that PS6 will be digital only.
Not necessarily, the ratio of PS5 physical disc hw has outsold its digital skus so far this gen so from a BC standpoint PS6 will likely have an add on disc drive as well. The gen after that will likely not though.
that's not exactly correct... every PS5 and Pro sold is digital first and foremost. People then have to make the effort to buy the disc add-on. Even units that include the drive are considered digital first and physical second because of the nature of having to activate the drive after opening. At that point its just a bundle. The original physical systems did not need to do any of that out of the box.
Regardless, every month Matt Piscatella shows that physical drive bundles outsell their digital only sku counterparts on the monthly npd reports. My point is that customers are voting with their wallets that they want a physical drive for their PS consoles. I never mentioned anything about PS5 being manufactured first as a digital unit but simply mentioned the likelihood of PS6 having an addon disk drive because of the purchase history of it's customers. You're proving my point by stating that people have to make the effort to buy the disc add on which is what they are doing each and every month.
Yep. They've already spent all the money on the R&D of the detachable disk drive. Having one as an option to attach onto PS6, even if it doesn't come included in the box will prevent a massive PR disaster. It's common sense. If they don't, people (including this website) will pile in on them calling them anti consumer.
