The PS5 reached 10 million units sold within its first eight months, becoming Sony's fastest-selling console ever, partly benefiting from its launch during a time when people were at home due to the early pandemic.

Nintendo's Switch, with nearly 123 million units sold by the end of 2022, represents formidable competition for Sony in the current-gen market.

The introduction of more PS5-exclusive games, such as the highly anticipated Spider-Man 2, contributes to the system's appeal.
