seems pretty damn significant.. 😐
So turns out that data is actually wrong and I can prove it.
Those numbers come from this report from Sony:
https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/presen/business_segment_meeting/pdf/2024/presen_E.pdf (note: both data sets are from April 2024)
The problem? It's Monthly Active *Consoles*.
The person who created the report took Sony's reports MAU and subtracted MAC. That's *wrong*. lol
[...]
well, this is the data that YOU posted in another thread..
and what exactly is the difference between an "active console" and "active user" using the console?..
It sure is and, unfortunately the research firm was wrong based on Sony's public data.
---
Active consoles is the number of devices that connect to PSN.
Active users is the number of unique user logins that connect to PSN.
I.e. you can have multiple active users on a single piece of hardware. MAU and # of consoles isn't one to one.
i'd wager that the data is good enough for a random gaming forum discussion.. 🤷♂️ but if you have more accurate numbers, please feel free to present them and provide the links..
