Next year promises to be the most successful for PlayStation 5 in terms of the number of major games developed by internal PlayStation studios and Sony partners, as reported by a well-known NateDrake insider.

Many sources call 2024 a "transitional year" as the console enters the second phase of its life cycle: the first wave of blockbusters has already been released, and the next is still in development. Sony is currently releasing smaller-scale projects such as Concord, LEGO Horizon Adventures and Astro Bot. However, the situation should change dramatically next year.

According to NateDrake, "2025 could be the best year in the PlayStation 5 era."

Sony previously stated that PlayStation Studios strives to regularly delight the public with hits. The company plans to improve the development process and release schedule of games to ensure that this goal is achieved.

Although an uptrend in PlayStation's success doesn't directly affect crypto prices, I'd say gaming has played a role in popularizing Web3. I can imagine potential game development funding using cryptocurrency in the near future and cross-platform trading through DeFi solutions - can anyone say blockchain-based in-game collectibles are not in Sony's cards.
