The Sony PlayStation hardware sale has been live since Sunday, and by far the most popular items have been the $49 DualSense controller deals. This is the first time we've seen a significant discount on PlayStation 5 consoles, and by far the best discount we've had on PS5 controllers.
Since we have the data, I thought it would be cool to share which controllers have been the most popular, and the least popular. Check out the list below to see them in order from best-selling to least best-selling:
PlayStation 5 DualSense Controller Deal Color Ranking
I gotta say, I'm a little surprised by the results. The Midnight Black controller is selling roughly 75% more units than the runner-up Grey Camoflage. Camo and Purple are neck-and-neck right now, but I'm really surprised to see Starlight Blue beating out Cosmic Red. Really, I expected Cosmic Red to be up there even higher. Learn something every day.
Not really surprised to see the Nova Pink come in last, behind even the stock White DualSense. Pink's a hard sell for a controller color, but if you're looking for deals, I definitely landed some cheap Xbox 360 controller batteries back in the day just because they were pink-colored.
I'm also curious to see the poll results. Are the sales mapping to peoples' preferences, or are people picking up colors to fill gaps in their collection? It doesn't really matter at all, I just think it's interesting.
The PlayStation sale prices run through next week, so there's still time to grab one at this awesome price.
