PS6 Release Could Be Sooner Than Anticipated
As reported by Bloomberg, Sony SVP Naomi Matsuoka recently stated in conjunction with the company's latest financial briefing that the PS5 is beginning to enter the "latter stage" of its life. Matsuoka didn't provide any further guidance on just when the PS5 might come to an end, but those within Sony are clearly beginning to look further down the road. To this end, Matsuoka added that he expects the rate at which PS5 consoles have been selling to begin to fall in the coming fiscal period.
"Looking ahead, PS5 will enter the latter stage of its life cycle," Matsuoka said. "As such, we will put more emphasis on the balance between profitability and sales. For this reason, we expect the annual sales pace of PS5 hardware will start falling from the next fiscal year."
Although it might seem surprising to hear that the PS5 is already in its final years, this does line up with the life cycle of the PS4. Released in 2013, the PS4 lasted for roughly seven years as the primary platform from Sony before the PS5 then arrived. As a result, a similar trajectory would put the PS6 on pace to launch in 2027. Still, the fact that Sony is already publicly saying that the PS5 is in the "latter stage" of its life could indicate that new PlayStation hardware might be arriving sooner this time around compared to the jump between PS4 and PS5.
