Comparable phase is an intriguing statistic that isn’t often mentioned. It’s one thing to say that the PS5 is more trendy now than the PS4, but that doesn’t really correspond to how well the PS4 did when it first came out. Fortunately, Sony has chosen to reveal that nugget of information in a recent interview.
81% Increased Playing Time
From their corresponding release dates through the end of March, PS5 users spent 81% more time playing their PS5 than they did on the PS4.
People are also purchasing more games. During the first five months of the PS5’s launch, 11% more “game units,” presumably independent titles rather than cumulative game revenues that would include bits of DLC or V-Bucks, were sold relative to the same time frame for the PS4.
There’s a lot going on here. To begin with, many parts of the globe are still coping with the COVID outbreak, so it’s unsurprising that people are allocating more hours to their consoles overall. However, due to shortages, most people will still be unable to obtain a PS5.
Numerous cross-platform games, for example, played smoother on the PS5 than the Xbox Series X. And those inside the company that has been testing preview designs have expressed their excitement for what’s to arrive.
Platform owners have to deal with more than just selling consoles. These times, the true earnings generators are software, subscriptions, and premium content. Solid ecosystem involvement all contributes to increased revenue, and when compared to the highly successful PS4, PlayStation is very satisfied with these numbers.
