Circana Executive Director and Video Game Industry Analyst Mat Piscatella via Twitter has revealed PlayStation 5 sales in the US are tracking seven percent ahead of the PlayStation 4 through the 41 months, and 66 percent ahead of the PlayStation 3.
“Lots of chatter on PS5 sales today… in the US through each platform’s 41st month in market (March 2024 for PS5), PS5 unit sales are trending 7% ahead of PS4, and 66% ahead of PS3,” said Piscatella. “It is likely that 2023 was PS5’s peak year in the US.”
Piscatella in a follow-up tweet revealed the PS5 is tracking 14 percent behind the PS2 in the US after 41 months and 30 percent ahead of the PS1.
“After 41 months in the US market, PS5 US unit sales trail PS2 by 14%, are ahead of PS1 by 30% and are currently tracking at 29,174% ahead of OUYA (this is a real stat),” said Piscatella.
