The bigwigs over at Sony will be doing a little happy dance this week as sales of the PlayStation 5 jumped an impressive 75% following a temporary price drop, with revenue going up 63%.

It’s all thanks to retailers offering the console for £399, around £80 less than the RRP. The price is due to return to normal soon. Some people have speculated that this brief sale might be the precursor to Sony revealing a PlayStation 5 “slim” or something of that nature.

Whatever the cause, the drop in price caused a nice boom in sales. According to GFK data reported by Gameindustry.biz the standard PlayStation 5 accounted for 73% of console sales, saw a 205% increase in sales and a 162% jump in revenue. Gfk also noted that many retailers were offering unofficial bundles which probably helped a lot, too.

It’s a nice piece of news for Sony who just recently announced that 40 million PlayStation 5 consoles have been sold, although the PlayStation 4 achieved the same stat two months quicker. Mind you, the PlayStation 5 also suffered from supply issues which slowed its progress.

So far the PlayStation 5 has sold 10 million units this year. According to Sony, they expect the PlayStation 5 to begin matching the PlayStation 4’s pace in August of this year, and then overtake it toward the end of the year.
