There’s no mention of the number of units that will be made available in this pre-order session. However, if we have learnt anything from the past, it is that the stock vanishes within minutes if not seconds.
Sony recently disclosed the sales of the console for FY22. Since its launch, the company has sold over 19 million units of the new console. Despite this, they couldn’t meet their goal for the last financial year.
In FY22, Sony sold 11.5 million PlayStation 5 units. This was the first time the console completed a year of sales. The console was launched in late 2020. Sony had a target to sell 14.8 million units in the last fiscal year. The Japanese company fell short by almost 3.3 million units. That’s over 22 percent lesser than what sony expected to achieve. The company has been facing a crisis due to the lack of components. Despite a relatively slow year, Sony has set a target of achieving sales of 18 million units in sales for the current year.
