Sony Interactive Entertainment in its financial results announced it has shipped 93.7 million PlayStation 5 consoles as of March 31, 2026.

With 93.7 million PlayStation 5 consoles shipped that means 1.5 million units were shipped from January to March. This is down 1.3 million (-46.4%) from the same quarter last year when 2.8 million units were shipped.

For reference, the PlayStation 4 had shipped 2.6 million units in the same quarter for a lifetime total of 97.0 million units shipped as of March 31, 2019. This puts the PS5 behind shipped PS4 units by 3.3 million units.

Sony did not provide a forecast for the next fiscal year, however, they did say, “We plan to base our PS5 hardware sales in FY26 on the volume of memory we can procure at reasonable prices and we expect hardware profitability to be essentially the same as FY25.”

The company does plan to invest more into the next-generation, the PlayStation 6, in the 2026 fiscal year. “Compared to the FY25 operating income results excluding one-time items, the FY26 operating income forecast is essentially flat year-on-year, which is due to the incorporation of an increase in investments for the next-generation,” reads the report.

There were a total of 74.6 million games sold on the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 for the quarter. This is down 1.5 million (-2.0%) from 76.1 million during the same period a year earlier. Digital sales accounted for 85 percent of software sales.

There were 5.8 million first-party games sold across the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. This is down 0.1 million from 5.9 million a year ago.

There were 125 million monthly active users on the PlayStation Network, an increase of 1 million from 124 million a year ago.

Sony’s Game & Network Services Segment for the quarter ending March 31, 2025, reported revenue decreased 28.9 billion yen ($0.18 billion) year-over-year to 1,022.4 billion yen ($6.52 billion), while operating income decreased 38.6 billion yen ($0.25 billion) to 54.1 billion yen ($0.34 billion).
