Sony says PS5 is its "most profitable generation to date", even if half of its total active players are still on PS4

It's also not planning to move away from releasing its "tentpole" single player games on console before they eventually hit PC.

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. "As you can see, the PlayStation 5 userbase has continued to grow significantly, driving to half of our monthly active consoles,” Hideaki Nishino, one of the two men set to fill part of retired CEO Jim Ryan's role in a matter of days, said during a call (thanks, VGC). Live service stuff, however, will keep on coming to both PC and console day one, since that makes the most business sense.
