Analysts Peg PS5s 2023 Sales at Around 22.5 Million Units Worldwide
Full steam ahead.
PS5 shifted an estimated 22.5 million units worldwide in 2023, according to a prediction by analysts Ampere.

The same group expects declines for both the Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X|S, with the systems moving an estimated 16.4 million and 7.6 million units respectively.
Sony’s goal is to sell 25 million units in its current fiscal year, but it’s worth remembering that these estimates cover the calendar year only, and thus don’t match up. Regardless, if they’re correct, then it means the Japanese giant will still need a strong start to 2024 in order to reach its targets. Fortunately, it’s got some big games coming out, including Rise of the Ronin and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which should help it.
