Latest PlayStation 5 Accomplishment Reveals Another Reason Why Gamers Must Choose It Over Xbox Immediately

Sony is having a really good time at the moment as the PlayStation 5 is making the company proud, thanks to its growing popularity across the globe. The console has succeeded in selling very well, despite the ongoing chip shortage.

Now a new report has revealed that the PlayStation 5 has achieved yet another sales milestone since it was first launched in November 2020. It looks like gaming enthusiasts want to have the latest and best available device at the moment to enjoy their favorite titles. And there seems to be no chance for any rival to come close.

PlayStation 5 goes past 21.7 million sales since its original launch

As reported by PlayStation Lifestyle, Sony Interactive Entertainment just revealed that their next-gen device is performing better in 2022. By the end of June 31, the PlayStation 5 has sold over 21.7 million units worldwide.

It simply means that the manufacturer managed to ship 2.4 million PS5 models in the last quarter. It’s a good increase, if not by a higher margin, when compared to the last year for a similar period. The main reason for this success can be due to the increased supply of the product over the past few months.

Moreover, the boost in the sales for PlayStation 5 was accompanied by an increase in PS Plus subscribers as well. Coming as a piece of good news for Sony, the revamped service has added another one million new users this year.

The PS Plus service gained an additional one million subscribers when compared to the same period in the last fiscal year. Talking about numbers, the service had 47.3 million members as of June 31. Last year, the figure stood at 46.3 million.

Meanwhile, the PlayStation 5 might reach a new sales milestone later this year when some really amazing titles come out. Without a doubt, God of War: Ragnarok is the most anticipated PS exclusive at the moment. Gaming fans are extremely hyped for its debut.

Going by the momentum it’s having already, this game may result in more PS5 sales right ahead of its November release. It’s because those players who haven’t played the first entry so far but want to try out the sequel on a console will surely look forward to having a PS5 over any other device.
