PS5 has totaled sales of over one million units in Germany, Austria and Switzerland: the financial reports of Sony Interactive Entertainment Deutschland reveal it.
Currently, at 17.2 million units sold worldwide, PS5 has faced serious difficulties in terms of distribution, with very limited stocks that have inevitably held back the spread of the new Sony console and which still persist today.
The report published by the German site GamesWirtschaft speaks of a sale that took place for two-thirds only at the most important chains such as Amazon, MediaMarkt / Saturn, Otto and GameStop or directly via PlayStation Direct.
During the launch period, PlayStation 5 sold 490,000 units in German-speaking countries, after which in the following seven months it proceeded with approximately 80,000 pieces per month and a total of an additional 556,000 units.
In October 2021, the total number of PS5s sold between Germany, Austria and Switzerland was therefore exactly equal to 1,046,000 consoles : slightly higher results than PS4, but considered by Sony to be below expectations due to the aforementioned limited stocks.
