US PS5 Sales Rally Ahead of Sharp Price Jump in 2026
TL;DR
US PS5 hardware sales hit a 2026 high in the week ending April 4, driven by Sony’s price increase announced days earlier; Circana analyst Mat Piscatella said the quarter‑year highs were in both unit and dollar sales, with US hardware spending nearly doubling year over year. The price hike took effect April 2, pushing the Digital Edition to $599.99 and reflecting higher material costs; analysts caution that demand may slow afterward unless big releases like GTA 6 sustain momentum.
