Sony has now sold 9 million PlayStation 5 consoles – that’s several million more than Microsoft’s Xbox Series X/S.According to a report from VGChartz, the PS5 has sold an estimated 9 million units since its official launch on November 12, 2020.That’s almost as much as the entire lifetime sales of the Sega Dreamcast (9.13 million units) in just 8 months.Microsoft’s Xbox Series X/S isn’t doing quite so well, shifting just 5.33 million units since its launch on November 10, 2020.Despite these impressive sales figures, it’s still incredibly difficult to get hold of the PS5 – largely due to the ongoing semi-conductor shortages which is making console production a lot trickier than usual.Between production problems and scalpers buying up PS5.
