GkK data has confirmed that the PS5 has now sold two million units in the UK, making it the fourth best-selling console of all time having reached the milestone in 98 weeks.
Sony’s latest console now ranks behind the PS4, PS2, and Nintendo Wii in terms of UK sales, but matches the success of the PS3. Despite ongoing shortages for PS5, it’s still the most lucrative console to hit two million sales, generating a whopping £919 million.
Dorian Bloch, head of GfK commented:
Given the stock problems surrounding PS5 it is fair to say it would have easily outpaced PS3 to 2m units. One thing that is clear, the significantly higher price of PS5 has not hindered sales, with consumers willing to pay the £105 premium that is shown on the average price of both consoles over this 2m unit period. PS5 has delivered the highest revenue for any console at two million units.
