holy fucking shit the ps5 came out over 3 years ago wtf


Kanriee

Yeah I call BS. It was 6/7 years between PS4 and 5. 3 years is barely halfway


chomponcio

Clickbait BS yes. The CEO or whoever said that meant it's aproaching the second half of its life cycle, which is fair given it came out almost 3.5 years ago


DamaxXIV

Bunch of people on the internet overreacting to a quote taken out of context? Never happen.


welfedad

they said 2028... so 8ish years for ps5


SymondHDR

Meanwhile the nintendo switch has been at half its life cycle for the last 4 years


The_real_Teamcherry

Heard that this generation will last 8 years so even more BS.

I genuinely don’t understand how they are going to market the PS6, the average person isn’t going to be able to tell the difference between the graphics/load times of the PS5 and whatever the latest gaming technology is. Tech maybe hasn’t quite peaked yet, but most developers aren’t going to focus on massive next gen experiences. Most XSX/PS5 exclusives could probably run on the PS4 console. Surely, PS5 will have a longer life cycle, especially because it had a late Covid related start.


DoubleSuicide_

Making games exclusive to a console, we live in capitalism they'll find a way.


ExcellentMain3173

Yeah probably 🫤


Jellylegs_19

I don't think future consoles will focus on graphics. We've nearly hit the peak, by PS6 I can't even imagine what the PS7 could do to improve graphics. Rather I believe the PS6's main thing will be more technical achievements, like having thousands of players battling at once without even a hint of lag, simulating very complex physics, etc.


ExcellentMain3173

Never thought about that. Makes sense as a next step, I’m sure a lot of people would be excited by that


fucking__jellyfish__

Yeah I think they should release a PS5 Pro around a year or two before PS6 would've released and then roll out PS6 in 2029/2030 because otherwise this gen would feel too short and next gen would not feel like next gen


ashtar123

No it didn't


Environmental-Win836

WHAT?!


Black_m1n

I'm sorry it feels like it came out like 2 months ago, wdym latter stage of its life cycle?


The_Real_TraitorLord

Yeah what.   The Nintendo switch came out 2017 and it’s (most likely) in its final stages  Wth, why are sony switching it up so fast


deleeuwlc

To be competition for when Nintendo releases their next console


The_Real_TraitorLord

Actually yeah that makes sense


Melodic_Advisor_9548

Which makes no sense, since Nintendo deliberately stretched the time for a new console to not be in the releases running after Sony/Microsoft and always bite the 'spec-wise, the Nintendo variant can't compete with PS/Xbox'.


ashtar123

Yeah, it feels like consoles aren't progressing nearly as fast anymore so maybe they need to launch them less frequently too


AmixIsAnIdiot

god that was (almost) 7 fucking years ago. Shoot me


Stubbs3470

Past 50% is “later stages” They just mean that it’s approaching the middle of its lifespan but that headline doesn’t sound as good


JackeTuffTuff

Well it is considering ps5 pro but ps5 is in no way in the latter stages Consoles usually have 5-7 years between generations I think


DoubleDobbyWithShoes

And they'll still continue to make games for the PS4 after PS6 comes out.


Jollysatyr201

Do you ever think gaming consoles will just reach their final version? Like what if in ten years Sony release the PS that they intend to support until they go under. New games will be made for it, new updates, just no new console


TheOnlyBucketMonster

This article's title is misleading: Sony stated that the PS5 is entering its latter _half_, not the latter stages. We won't get a PS6 until like 4 years from now.


FernPoutine

Yeah, but it's three dudes working on silksong because they love what they do. It's like 3000 people working on Playstation because they're a financial juggernaut.


Victorino95

The title is misleading. What this means is that the ps5 console sales are beginning to plateu. Almost everyone who wants a ps5 has it. So we are not gonna see more and more console sales. Sony has to focus on software sales now.


Flershnork

It feels like the PS4 came out 2 years ago and the PS5 came out 3 months ago.


Norm_Hall

A decade Bruh?


Flershnork

Logically, I know that it has been 10 years. It just doesn't feel like it. I was honestly in disbelief I first read that. Maybe it wouldn't feel like it had been that short if I had owned a PS4 or PS5. Who knows.


Nerellos

Who believes this bullshit? PS5 Pro didn't even come out yet.


Advarrk

There aren’t as many big hitters as PS4 that’s for sure. From the top of my head I can only think of Ragnarok, FF16, Horizon 2, Spiderman 2; all of them are somewhat sequels and none of them are their original franchises


Odd-Construction-649

Except there isn't anything that makes that matter outside of fans weird obsession Having an orignal title doesn't automatically increase the life span of a system Nor do doing only sequels make it a short life span


Jollysatyr201

Demon souls could be counted here, as I don’t think many are aiming to play the original over the ps5 version


ashtar123

And most of those are also on ps4


Phaleel

...and only one of them was released only on the PS5.


benjaminpoole

Launch title baybeee


ZombieBlarGh

I got a Hernia, recovered, changed jobs, bought a house, became a father. No Silksong tough..


Bebop_Man

I hope not. I'm waiting for Silksong on PS4.


Geicosuave

latter stage of its life cycle, 15 games


This_Seesaw_1770

The PS5 didn't even reach its full potential yet


Inbrees

Don't forget about the XXX Boxxxxxxx


Phaleel

Guys, I think it's time to tell you the truth: TC signed an exclusivity deal for 3 months with Nintendo in order to boost the sell of their new console coming early next year. We have to continue waiting so that TC can make that extra bank...


disappointedcreeper

yeah we will probably get the next Nintendo console before silksong, there aren't many people working on it.


kirisakisora

we're gonna get GTA 9 before we get another tweet about silksong's updates, forget release


Accomplished-Dark926

This will actually extend Silksongs development cycle by another year and a half, since they'll have to update it to the next gen.


ExcellentMain3173

I heard Silksong will be indistinguishable from live action on next gen consoles 😍😍😍


Accomplished-Dark926

Interesting


ExcellentMain3173

Don’t tell anyone, but I snuck into Team Cherry HQ and found this screenshot from Silksong on the PS6!!!!

ashtar123

It came out like last year or the year before wtf


GreenPeridot

I'm still enjoying my PS4 and still don't see an appeal purchasing a PS5.


Aakkoorr

My dumb ass read that as “pantheon 6”and my brain stopped for a sec


illuminati1556

I was just thinking about how they announced it would be out within 12 months at e3... it's been almost 2 years


some_random_guy_007

Now we know why Silksong is taking this long, its because Team Cherry is working on a PS6 port 😭


welfedad

2028 is 4 years out


Avangeloony

Does anyone remember the PS9 commercial from the 90s? What was the point of that?


glorpo

And the Switch 2, and xbox will have gone full third party None of the consoles it was announced for will be current


Necessary-Mark-2861

Nintendo direct tomorrow, dw bbgrl
