Sony's PlayStations are the most successful consoles of all time. While the PlayStation 2 takes top billing, the PlayStation 5 can still boast sales of over 77.7 million units since it was released in 2020. This includes later iterations like the PlayStation 5 Slim in 2023 and the Pro, an upgrade with new features released in 2024. But where are all of these consoles coming from? Sony, a company based out of Tokyo, Japan, states that its PlayStation 5 consoles are manufactured at the Kisarazu site in Chiba, Japan, which has been in operation since 1953.
