We all remember the stock shortage issues of the PS5 and the current generation in general during 2020 as a result of the spread of the pandemic at the time, the shortage of semi-transports and the economic problems arising from it, but the platform now still occupies the first position with Sony until now, with rapid sales in recent years in conjunction with providing the largest possible stock for the platform.

Sales intelligence researcher Circana, formerly known as NPD, has released a January 2024 U.S. sales report revealing the top-selling games and platforms for the month. As the first report of the year, this isn’t just a list of the top-selling games for January 2024, but also… Numbers through early February.

With the passage of 3 years and a few months since the platform's launch, the PS5 platform's sales to date are 7% ahead of the PS4's pace and 68% above the PS3's sales pace. This number is considered an astonishing achievement given the lack of sufficient availability of the current generation during the first few years, and this may have been the reason for its rapid sales once it was widely available in stores. Let's not forget that Sony supported the device by issuing accessories such as the PS Portal, headsets, and other accessories.

Speaking of accessories, the DualSense controller topped the list of best-selling accessories last month, while the report stated that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III was the best-selling game in January 2024, Tekken 8 came in second, while Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League came in third, but Circana's January 2024 reporting period ran through February 3.

It is worth noting that the CEO of PlayStation stated the difficulties that the PS5 platform will face in terms of sales during the current year, and one of the reasons is the lack of exclusive sequels for the platform until 2025.
