## Key points

- PS5 US sales are 1% ahead of PS4 at the same point.
- 2026 sales so far trail PS4’s comparable period by 3%.
- GTA 6 could boost console sales next month.

## Summary

In its 71st month on sale in the United States, the PS5 has sold slightly more units than the PS4 had at the same point, despite a higher price and fewer console exclusives. The comparison suggests demand for Sony’s current console has remained resilient through the generation, even after early supply problems.

Circana data puts PS5 lifetime sales 1% ahead of PS4’s at month 71 and 30% ahead of PS3’s. Sales from January to September 2026 were 3% behind the equivalent period for PS4 in 2019; the article also cites current US prices of $650 for the base PS5 and $900 for the PS5 Pro, compared with $200 for the PS4 at a similar stage. It expects GTA 6, due next month, to lift console sales, though the article’s figures give different 2026 comparisons depending on the period used.
