Sony has announced that the PlayStation 5 shipped 4.5 million units in 2020, matching the PlayStation 4's launch in 2013.

Sony also confirmed that there was "loss resulting from strategic price points for PS5 hardware that were set lower than manufacturing costs." It also noted that it is still on track to meet its goal of 7.6 million PS5 sales by the end of March 2021.

PS5 and PS4 game unit sales reached 103.7 million, up from 83.3 million in the same quarter in 2019. First-party titles accounted for 18.4 million of the total game sales. Year-on-year, total game sales and first-party game sales are up from 83.3 million and 16.3 million, respectively.
