According to reports, PlayStation 5 has sold over 21.7 million units so far. On the other hand, its predecessor, the PS4, has sold over 117.2 million units since its release back in Nov. 2012. Despite getting serious competition from its rival console platform, Microsoft's Xbox, Sony Interactive Entertainment has managed to achieve impressive sales figures.

Furthermore, the last-gen consoles—PlayStation 4 and Xbox One—perform reasonably well on even the newer video game titles, making the players reluctant to purchase a new device altogether.
