It's an impressive figure for the supply-constrained console, which was released in November 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic. Watch on YouTube Eurogamer Next-Gen News Cast - Should Sony issue refunds for Control on PS5? The sales figure, accurate as of 31st December 2020, is roughly in-line with the launch sales of the PlayStation 4 at the same point in its life.

But it's worth noting demand for the PS5 has heavily outstripped supply, and it remains out of stock at a raft of retailers who have faced trouble with scalpers and bots. Sony said it's on track to sell over 7.6m PS5 units by the end of its current fiscal year (31st March 2021). The hope is PS5 shipments will surpass the PS4's sales over this initial launch period to become the biggest console launch of all time.

Operating income (profit) was up nearly 50 per cent to 80.2bn yen (£559m). That profit came despite the PS5 being sold at a loss, which Sony confirmed overnight ("loss resulting from strategic price points for PS5 hardware that were set lower than the manufacturing costs").

The money, then, was made from profitable software sales (103.7m games were sold across the PS4 and PS5 in the quarter) and digital revenue from the likes of PlayStation Plus and DLC, which continue to contribute vast swathes of cash. Sony first-party game sales, if you were wondering. Some updated figures of note: Insomniac's Spider-Man: Miles Morales has sold 4.1m copies.
