PlayStation 5 Sales Fall Short Of PS4, Even As Helldivers 2 Breaks Records

Sony sold over 20 million PlayStation 5s in its last fiscal year, an impressive number that nevertheless failed to hit its original goal of 25 million, and even missed its revised target of 21 million consoles sold. The latest numbers make it clear that the next-gen hardware will probably never catch up to the sales of the PS4, even as Helldivers 2 crushes all expectations after becoming the fastest-selling Sony -published game in the company’s history. The PS5 has now reached 59.

” Helldivers 2, on the other hand, has been a surprise hit. The alien shooter’s already sold over 12 million copies, which Sony says makes it the fastest-selling exclusive in a three-month period in the company’s history, even surpassing 2022's God of War Ragnarök. While that game benefitted from being backwards-compatible, Helldivers 2 has clearly benefitted from being day-and-date on PC, even if Sony recently fumbled the bag with Steam users over a PSN login fiasco.
