Circana’s Mat Piscatella has revealed that the PS Portal was the best-selling video game accessory for May and 2024 year-to-date in terms of dollar sales in the US.
As previously reported, the PS5 was the best-selling console for May 2024 in the US and continues to track ahead of its predecessor, the PS4.
The PS Portal recently received a new firmware update that included support for public network connections, allowing users to hook up to Wi-Fi while out and about. The device, which allows users to stream PS5 content to the handheld device over wireless Internet, has been selling strongly since its launch in November 2023, so much so that it greatly exceeded Sony’s expectations.

The format holder had previously revealed that PS Portal was not designed with profitability in mind, and while we don’t know how much Sony is making from the device, it’s probably a lot more than expected given how well it has sold so far.
