Although unconfirmed, the 3.4 million figure matches a report from earlier this year that says Sony plans to ship 10 million PS5 units by March 2021, an increase from a previous target of five to six million shipments.

PS5 saw its worldwide launch last month. It is available in two different editions: the regular one with Bluray drive and the digital edition.
