Of course, there is already speculation at a release period of the PS6And if we take a look at the cycles of the console generations, 2027 would be an option. But according to the former Playstation boss Shuhei Yoshida, more likely to feel real in 2028.
Ex-PlayStation boss talks about his career and which release year of the PS6 feels right
That's what it's about:In a very exciting and detailedGamsbeat-InterView reports Shuhei Yoshida about his long career at Sony. In total he worked there for 38 years, 31 of them in the Playstation department, whose boss he was. Since January 15, however, he has left the group behind and devoted himself to others.
First of all: According to his own statement, the former Playstation boss does not know when the next Sony console will be launched. He has no internal information, which means that this is really just about his emotional assessment, his feeling in the matter. Which of course is still not to be despised.
Console cycles are longer:For a long time, new generations of console have been published about every five years, but that is no longer the case. For example, the Nintendo Switch 2 only inherits her predecessor after eight years, but that could also be an exception.
In 2028, Shuhei Yoshida names the release year for PlayStation 6:
"Right, it will be longer. The last cycle was seven years. If it is seven years, we'll see a new [PlayStation] in 2027. I have no information about the next Playstation, but it feels a bit early for me to say that.
The PS5 generation was slowed down by manufacturing problems.If the next PlayStation 2028 comes, it feels right for me.. Maybe then both come out. "
How realistic does that seem?Quite. First, we have it here with oneEducated Guessto do the former Playstation boss, who should know what he speaks-even if he emphasizes that he has no tangible information.
