I mean honestly PS4 Pro is such an improvement over the base model that this is the sensible opinion and I've said that plenty. If you have one, hold into it it's not like it's as big of an improvement as PS4 -> PS5GTA 6 and PS5 only sports games will bring them over to PS5.
I am still on PS4 Pro waiting on PS5 Pro before I switch over.
Yeah there is no issue here.dont see the issue here? just like people who game on old PC and did not built a new one or upgrade?

I don't know if it's being framed as an issue. The good news is a good chunk of those PS4 players will likely upgrade at some point when the PS5 price drops. And in the meantime, they're still paying for and spending money on PSN.I don't get what's the issue; half the generation, half the units sold,, half the PSN userbase.

Hmm, 59 million PS5's, 118 million PS4's, assuming most PS5 owners had PS4's and he's shocked half of people aren't on current gen?
The numbers do add up you know
Fucking brainiac Totilo
Yeh, it's actually quite impressive really, if they can hold that so that as more people move over to PS5 they stay on PS4 until they do that and be relatively consistent with the 118 million throughout the gen it will be even more impressive.Honestly, that 50/50 split is more than I would have guessed. I would have figured fewer PS4s were still in regular use even if those players did not upgrade to PS5 yet. Given the top games are all cross-gen, it makes sense.

This is what they meant about engagement that people twisted into GAAS somehow.
Maybe, but if think they are just happy with those MAU numbers between PS4 and PS5, that's still very highPeople going from ps4 —-> ps5 wouldn’t increase their MAU numbers. Probably why they are so keen to get people logging into PSN on steam.
That's really it. Also why they're currently not too bothered by those countries they're not selling the game in. They're not contributing much - if any - to their PSN bottom line at the moment.People going from ps4 —-> ps5 wouldn’t increase their MAU numbers.

That's actually crazy high. So they're basically equal with steam?
Ah still very close and impressive for bothSteam's 2021 MAUs beat PlayStation, more than double Epic Game Store
Valve signifies the growth of PC gaming as Steam surpasses the mighty PlayStation Network in terms of monthly active users (MAUs)www.tweaktown.com
Steam hasn’t given MAU numbers since 2021 when they had 132M
But they have since broke their records for daily active users a few times so it’s probably significantly higher now
If they actually finally cut price along with GTA6 it will launch ps5 ahead of ps4s sales curve. Imagine $300 digital, $400 basic with disc, $500-600 pro along with gta6 bundles.GTA6 will change that, filthy casuals lol
Can't really say that it's surprising, 5 / 6 top most played games last month are on PS4, where most people probably play them.
People also seem to suffer from collective amnesia regarding the covid pandemic, as well as being oblivious to our current shitty economies.Why would the casuals upgrade? There is like only a handful currentgen exclusive games, and even those aren’t some “omg must play immediately” games. This is what neverending crossgen development results in.

Some ppl looked at recent quotes and assumed it was about live service, but it was this.Crossgen forever.
I tried to use my PS4 on holiday and it just felt so sluggish coming from a PS5. I hadn't realised how slow it was until I got used to the PS5 loading times and quick boot.The upgrade to PS5 to vastly reduce load times alone was worth it, that and the massive improvement PSVR2 over PSVR1
Ps4 power handheld that works with ps5 library and cross buyShows a few things:
Lots of room for growth on PS5, sell them PS5s
or
Lots of people love PS4s, sell them a PS4 handheld
