Twitter user @Genki_JPN has translated some of the highlight slides from the presentation by Kenjo Akiyama, Senior Director at SIE. The full video is approximately 47 minutes long and delves into the latest gaming trends from the PS4, PS5, and PlayStation VR user base, making it well worth a watch if you’re interested in user reviews.
In general, PS4 and PS5 console owners in the US play the most games on average, with between 10 and 11 titles (we believe this stat is for the year). EU owners are very close to that number, between 9 and 10 games, while Japanese owners only have time to play around 6. Since the Japanese market generally has a higher percentage of JRPGs, MMORPGs, and mobile games from gacha, this is ‘It’s not too much of a surprise. After all, there are only so many live service games that one person can pay attention to.

That said, Japanese gamers are focused on the games they choose and have by far the highest average trophy percentage. Interestingly, players from Asia and Europe have the most platinum trophies. Unfortunately, players from the US are at the bottom of the list in both categories by far.
Surprisingly, Japanese gamers are also more likely to buy the physical “disc only” versions of full games, while Americans are more inclined to buy the digital versions.
In other news, full PS5 Discord integration is reported to be rolling out in the coming months, with Hogwarts Legacy featuring an exclusive quest for the PlayStation version.
