Interestingly, the PlayStation 5 version was the most successful, accounting for 49% of sales, compared to 27% for Xbox and 25% for PlayStation 4. That marks the first time a multiformat game has sold more on PlayStation 5 than other formats.

That’s a milestone that has come earlier than might have been expected – although that’s in part because new stock of the PlayStation 5 console became available last week, which also encouraged a 161% rise in sales for Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
