Sony's updated sales data shows the PlayStation 5 has passed 100 million consoles sold, a milestone reached on November 10, almost six years after launch. These are units shipped to retailers rather than sold to consumers, so fewer are in homes. IGN compared the figure with rivals' lifetime totals, noting it is closing on the PS4's 117 million and will soon pass the original PlayStation's 102.4 million, but is unlikely to catch the PS2's 160 million. Eurogamer reported that sales are declining, with 2.6 million units in the latest quarter against 4 million a year earlier, the lowest second quarter on record, and attributed the drop largely to higher prices. IGN linked price rises to AI-driven memory costs and said the PS5 is about 5 million behind the PS4 at the same stage. Eurogamer noted Sony's bottom line has held up, while IGN called Marvel's Wolverine, with 2.4 million units, a disappointment.
