Half Of PlayStation Players Still Haven't Upgraded To PS5 - Lemmy

“meaning the other 59 million must still be using the PlayStation 4.”

That’s not what that means.

As of last December there were still 2 million active PS3 users.

I’d imagine there’s still a limited number of PS Vita and PSTV accounts too.

PS3 Reportedly Still Has Millions of Monthly Active Users - PlayStation LifeStyle

Sony's beloved PS3 apparently still has millions of monthly active users -- nearly two million, to be precise.

I stopped at the PS2…
I don’t think PSN applied to the PS2, started with the PS3.
PS2 didn’t have networking apart from the odd firewire port and a very expensive devkit.
Pretty sure all the skins had a built in Ethernet port and I think there was an adapter to add them to the original fat ones too

I had the original with the expansion, I used to play Tony hawk online

There was no psn back then though, you just plugged in and were good to go

Oh, I forgot the slim existed. Interesting that someone took advantage of that.
PS2 definitely had online play. I never played online but my friend did.
Still the best console of all time so that’s a pretty solid stopping point
The best console is still foot with bash.
Forgive me while I groan
Hacked Vita is still great.
Hacked Vita with RetroArch is so so so much fun!!
I had a lot of fun with my Vita even without hacking it. It had a longer lifetime than people realize, in part through digital sales and indie games that were planning to do PS3/PS4 releases anyway.
One of these years my children will discover the PS3 hidden unused in the entertainment center since they were born, and there’ll be 2mil+1. Muhaha.

When a new generation starts, I hook it up in the living room, move the previous gen to the bedroom, and mothball the oldest gen.

So when I kick off, my kid, or grand kids, are going to discover organized boxes of gaming gear. I’m sure it will be all over whatever passes for social media then. :)

Currently:

Living Room - PS5, Xbox Series X, Steam Deck Dock.

Bedroom - PS4, Xbox One X, Switch.

I still use my PS3, enough great and cheap games and can play my PS1 and 2 games on the big screen with wireless controllers.

Newer games I play on PC anyways.

Was gonna say, I never bought a PS4. My PS3 is still kicking.

I just got a second one because it was peanuts and came with two good controllers while mine are all kind of subtly broken.

I do actually have a PS4 with 5 controllers because once bit. I don’t know if I’ll find the time, but if I feel like playing something stuck on the three like infamous or demons souls, I can.

Maybe I’ll get the 5 one day. And maybe I’ll find that emulation can solve the old title problem.
