Sony revealed during its CES 2023 event last night that PlayStation 5 sales will reach 30 million units by the end of the third quarter of the current fiscal year.

This means that 10.7 million units were sold in the last quarter of the fiscal year, while the company still needs to sell 7.3 million units in the next three months, until the end of the current fiscal year on March 31, 2023, in order to achieve the set target of selling 18 million units.

If Sony can improve the production and distribution of the PlayStation 5 in the market during the next period, we believe it will be able to reach this number.

Speaking at the CES show last night, the SIE president said Jim Ryan December was the biggest selling month for the PlayStation 5 so far, and the increased availability of the device means more users can buy it.

Sony previously said it aims to ship 33 million PlayStation 5 units in its next fiscal year, which begins April 1, 2023, and ends March 31, 2024. That would see the device outsell the PlayStation 4 during the same period of its standard lifespan.

Sony has confirmed that it is working to increase the production rate during the next phase in order to meet its PlayStation 5 sales target for the remainder of the current fiscal year, selling 18 million units. And to ensure that it continues to reach its target for the new fiscal year, which aims to sell 33 million units during the same year.

There were expectations that Sony would reveal a new PlayStation 5 model during last night's event, especially since rumors and leaks had suggested a new model with a detachable and connectable Blu-ray player. However, that didn't happen and instead the Project Leonardo console for people with special needs was revealed, the details of which you can see in our next report.

Do you expect Sony to meet its target during the next three months by selling 7.3 million units and meet its target by selling 18 million units during the current fiscal year?
