The company on Wednesday said that PS5 is the fastest-selling console in the company's history and continues to outpace sales of its predecessor, PlayStation 4 (PS4).
"While PS5 has reached more households faster than any of our previous consoles, we still have a lot of work ahead of us as demand for PS5 continues to outstrip supply," Jim Ryan, president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment.
"I want gamers to know that while we continue to face unique challenges throughout the world that affect our industry and many others, improving inventory levels remains a top priority for SIE," Ryan added.
In April, the company said that it had managed to sell 7.8 million PlayStation 5 consoles till March 31 this year.
