PlayStation 5: Push mode or complete shutdown? So gamble German!

Sony has again presented impressive sales figures with its PlayStation 5 and thus remains the undisputed champion in the global console market, also in Germany. According to a current report by September 2024. While 3.8 million consoles found their way to the buyer in the last quarter, the group had to record a 29 percent decline compared to the previous quarter. These figures show that the PS5 is slightly ago compared to the PS4, which reached 67.5 million sales at the same time.

Interestingly, the use of the PS5 features has proven to be extremely versatile. A Statista survey from 2023 showed that around 39 percent of German gamers are registered in the “PS Plus” subscription program, as Berlin Live . Sony originally expected to use the resting mode, but the users seem to have mixed preferences: 50 percent of the respondents drive their consoles completely, while the other half leaves them in standby mode. This shows the flexibility that players are looking for while playing or downloading updates in the background.

sales figures and user behavior

Despite a decline in console sales, the number of active users has increased at a record level: 116 million players are currently active every month. This could indicate that Sony's software and network services continue to be growing. Ultimately, the income not only depends on hardware sales, but also on the income development in the software sector, which has developed positively in the past few months. Despite the challenges, the PS5 remains a central pillar in the gaming market and stands out through its innovative technology and the variety of games that offer available systems.
