Despite the circumstances and obstacles that the industry has gone through at the beginning of this generation, sales of the PlayStation 5 platform have been good and sales have reached 55 million devices sold worldwide, and it seems that current sales have positively affected the number of monthly users on PSN, whether on PS4 or PS5.

The PS5 and PS4 platforms managed to attract around 123 million monthly active users as of December 31, 2023, which represents an increase of more than 11 million compared to the previous year, and it is clear that this number is expected to decrease during the current quarter, as it tends to decline. Holidays tend to attract more players in general, but it is still good that PSN shows good prospects in terms of activity.
