- PS5 just had its best results of financial quarter ever
- The console sent a staggering 9.5 million units in Q3 FY24
- Monthly active users also saw a healthy uptick in the same period
It seems that people are still plenty eager to add a PlayStation 5 console to their game setups as the system has just had the best financial neighborhood on the record.
This is per. Financial results recently published by Sony for his Q3 FY24. Page 10 of the report shows that the company changed 9.5 million PS5 consoles during this financial quarter. While it is an astronomical jump from Q1 (2.8 million) and Q2 (3.8 million), these Q3 numbers were probably strengthened by the release of the PS5 Pro.
This brings the total number of PS5 consoles sent to around 15.7 million for this financial year so far. Last financial year, Sony sent a total of 20.8 million PS5 units, and with a quarter back to this fiscal year, the console could well be on its way to beating it.
This brings PS5’s lifetime sales as far up to 75 million as per year. GameSpot is just shy for the 76.5 million PlayStation 4 consoles that were sent over the same amount of time. In this case, it should be emphasized that the PS4 Pro, launched earlier in this generation than the PS5 Pro did in this one. PS4 family units were also cheaper than their PS5 colleagues.
Another highlight of the financial report shows that there has also been a decent uptick in monthly active users. Q3 FY24 peaked at 129 million active users monthly compared to the previous year’s 123 million from the same quarter. You can probably look at success with live service titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Helldivers 2 To get a few million extra people to log on each month.
Sony has two high -profile exclusive games launched this year in Ghost of Yōtei and Death Stranding 2: On the beachAt Although both are currently missing a release date in addition to a guard ‘2025’ window, and it is unclear whether they will land in the 4th quarter FY24.
