In terms of software, the PS5 and PS4 sold a combined 80.3 million units during the same financial quarter, which is up 2.6 million units year-on-year. First-party games accounted for 6.3 million units of the total, with 72% of software sold being full game software digital downloads.
The PS5 was released in November 2020 during the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, which resulted in a shortage of manufacturing components leading to stock shortages.
