Sony’s previous record holder for sales speed was PlayStation 4… In 2013, in the United States and Canada alone, it sold over 1 million consoles in the first 24 hours. Later, the launch of the PlayStation 4 was called the largest in the history of the industry, and if the PlayStation 5 beat it, it means that now the championship in terms of overall starting numbers belongs to it.
This has already been pointed out by analyst and insider Daniel Ahmad.
“The debut of the PlayStation 4 was a record in terms of net sales. So when Sony speaks of ‘its’ biggest launch with the PlayStation 5, it means it is about the biggest console launch ever,” he said.
Editor GamesIndustry.biz Chris Dring added that now all three platform-holders are doing well – Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft.
