Lifetime sales of the PS5 in the UK have reportedly hit 4,600,000, nearly twice the amount that the Xbox Series X/S has achieved in the country, with Microsoft’s console sitting at 2,570,000.
The figures come from a report shared by the Digital Entertainment and Research Association, which reveals that the PS5 has achieved a comfortable lead over its main rival, something which has been the case for some time now despite both systems launching around the same time.
In addition, the report also reveals that the PS4 has surpassed the Nintendo Switch in UK sales, with Sony’s last-generation system having moved 7,723,000 compared to the Switch’s 7,250,000 units sold. The PS5 meanwhile leads the UK’s physical games market at 41%, with Nintendo Switch and PS4 following behind at 40% and 9%, respectively.
