With the differences between generations of consoles minimal in terms of playing and visuals, and most games that remain playable both on current and recent generations, millions of people have decided to hold with their PS4 instead of buying PS5. However, as confirmed by the latest PlayStation data, the balance of strength has officially changed.
The active number of PS5 users is described in detail during Sony's annual business meeting and reported VGC, is higher than the Equivalent of PS4. Although the PS5 is already approaching its fifth birthday, it is the first time in the console history that it has more active users than its older sibling.

The noble forecast and Nintendo could still lowballing.
The fact that 2025 would be a year when the scale finally leaned in favor of PS5. During the same meeting last year Sony revealed that among active users into PS5 and PS4, 50/50 was divided. This year, however, did not provide accurate numbers, as you can see in the image below, part of the active users' bar that represents those playing on the PS5 is significantly larger than the PS4.
More people play PS5 than PS4S
It took five years to move the balance
It is also worth noting that there are 124 million active users in PS5 and PS4. This is not only a significant increase in 97 million numbers reported last year, but you must assume that most of these new users do their PS5 games.
As for what it means for the future of PS4 and those who still use it remain unclear. Although enough people have moved to the current PlayStation genes that they now have more active users, there are still tens of millions of people using their PS4. While almost all playstation games of the first party are now exclusive PS5 and for a while other third -party studios continue to support the PS4 consoles and the next general.
For example, Team Cherry Updated hollow knight: Silksong website this week, which further confirms that despite the eternal waiting for a sequel, Silksong is still coming to PS4. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, which was unveiled during the last week Xbox Showcase, will also get the latest version.
There will be a time when the PS4 will eventually be left forever. However, given the smaller jump between generations and people who stick to their older consoles, support will have a longer tail for them than ever before. This will almost certainly be reflected in the switch, although I imagine that the balance between Switch and Switch 2 users will move significantly faster than PS5 and PS4.
