Hideaki Nishino<\/strong>, recently appointed CEO of PlayStation alongside Hermen Hulst<\/strong>, stated during the presentation that PlayStation 5 is the most profitable generation of PlayStation to date<\/strong>. Nevertheless, its predecessor continues to hold its ground like no other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, the user base of PlayStation 4 currently represents half of the monthly active users on consoles, about 49 million users<\/strong>. In the words of Nishino, as reported by VGC<\/a>, “PlayStation 4 continues to be an important part of our business.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the presentation document<\/a> we can see that PlayStation 5 users spend more money and dedicate more time to playing than PlayStation 4 users. The collected data shows that the average user of Sony’s latest console spends 176%<\/strong> more on additional content<\/strong>, 57%<\/strong> more on services<\/strong>, and 34%<\/strong> more on peripherals<\/strong>. Ironically, they also spend 12%<\/strong> less on buying games<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n
