What did Sony announce about PlayStation sales?
Sony has raised its forecast for PlayStation sales, according to IGN Southeast Asia, which reported the news on 5 November 2026. The lift comes with GTA 6 due on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on 19 November 2026, little more than two weeks later.
The company did not tie the higher forecast to any single title in the report, but the timing puts the console maker's expectations alongside the biggest launch of the year.
What is the Marvel's Wolverine sales figure?
In the same announcement, Sony gave an official sales figure for Marvel's Wolverine for the first time. The number had not been shared publicly before this point.
The report does not break the figure down by platform or region, so the headline number is what Sony has put out so far.
When is GTA 6 out and on what consoles?
GTA 6 is set for 19 November 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar has not announced a PC version.
Sony's raised forecast lands in the final stretch before launch, when players are weighing up console purchases ahead of release day.
What we're still waiting on
- The exact Marvel's Wolverine sales figure and any breakdown by platform or region
