Sony PS5 sales rise, but console supply issues persist ahead of GTA VI

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Sony's gaming division reported a strong quarter with increased revenue and profits, driven by higher game sales and PlayStation Network services, despite selling fewer PlayStation 5 consoles than the previous year. The company sold 2.6 million PS5 units in Q2 2026, a decrease from 4 million in the prior year, attributed to supply chain issues rather than a lack of demand. With the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI set to launch soon, Sony faces challenges in meeting potential console demand, even as its PS5 Pro model proves popular and the company approaches 100 million PS5 units sold.
