Sony says PS6 development is on schedule as PS5 sales reach 97.9 million

[Cantona]

Sony has given a small update on its next console. VGC reports that chief financial officer Lin Tao said development of the PlayStation 6 is progressing as scheduled, with solid progress planned for the business year starting April 2027

Sony sold 2.6 million PS5 consoles between July and September, bringing lifetime sales to 97.9 million. Tao said new PS5 sales are declining, as expected at this stage of a console's life

Games sales rose 9 percent, and Sony says it has secured enough memory for next year. Push Square reports that this covers console demand until March 2028, which matters given the industry wide shortage

Marvel's Wolverine has sold more than 2.4 million copies, and monthly active users reached 127 million, a record for September. No PS6 release date has been set, and analysts' guesses for 2028 are only speculation

The PS5 is closing in on 100 million, which would be a huge milestone. Securing memory supply through to 2028 is reassuring for anyone worried about stock or price rises. A PS6 is clearly coming, but there is plenty of life left in the PS5 yet

When do you expect the PS6 to launch? And will you buy one straight away?
