Sony Interactive Entertainment has just shared some interesting stats regarding where things currently stack up for it console-wise, and they make for pretty interesting reading. The PS5 has been acknowledged by the platform holder as reprsenting its "most profitable generation to date", but PS4 continues to play a big role in its overall business.
Yup, while we learned last month that overall Playstation hardware sales hadn't hit Sony's lofty goals over the last fiscal year - pretty much in line with what seems to be the trend across the industry at the moment - that doesn't mean there aren't still things to be boasted about in corporate presentations.
As part of one such presentation at a Business Segment Meeting, Sony said that the "PS5 generation" has generated $106 billion in sales over four years, nearly surpassing the $107 billion total cited for the PS4 generation that ran from 2013 to 2019. Though, it was noted that as of April this year, both the PS5 and PS4 had 49 million active users, with those two totals each making up about half of the publisher's overall console user base.
