Sony Hints at PS6 Launch in 2027, Extending PS5 Life Cycle
- PlayStation 5 is believed to be in the "latter half" of its life cycle according to Sony
- Historically, new PlayStations are released every ~7 years; PS5 released in 2020 suggests PS6 may launch around 2027
- Analysts expect a PS5 Pro model in 2024, followed by PS6 in 2028 to extend PS5's life cycle
- Sony stating no 1st party PS5 games in 2024 fiscal year leaves only 3 years of support before potential 2027 PS6 launch
- Uncertainty around pandemic's impact and new generation trends make PS6 timing hard to predict definitively
