Sony Reports Record Profitability for PlayStation 5 Era

Despite equal active user bases for PS4 and PS5, increased spending and gameplay hours drive PS5's financial success.

Sony's PS5 has generated $106 billion in revenue in roughly four years, nearing the PS4's $107 billion over seven years.
Both PS4 and PS5 have 49 million active users, but PS5 users log significantly more gameplay hours.
PS5 players spend more on games, services, and add-ons, averaging $731 compared to $580 for PS4 users.
PS4's continued support and cross-compatibility with PS5 titles contribute to its sustained user base.
The PS5's profitability is bolstered by higher engagement and spending on microtransactions and add-on content.
