Even if Sony's PS5 is the current market leader in terms of consoles sold, it appears we haven't seen it at its peak yet, as Sony has stated that the next-gen console is attracting in a lot of new players, and these aren't just gamers from the PS4 era.

According to Sony's latest financials analysis, 30% of the PS5's monthly active users (MAU's) have never even used a PS4 before. This implies that Sony's target isn't just those who have a PS4, but also people who are attracting new ones.
The PS5 players' "engagement metrics" (encompasses PS Plus subscription rate, gameplay time, etc.) from PS4 gamers who switched to the PS5 are "significantly higher."
These figures should be even higher next year, as the PS5 becomes increasingly easy to get from store shelves.
