Former PlayStation President Shares When It Would Make Sense to Release PS6

In a recent interview, Shuhei Yoshida, the former head of PlayStation Studios (formerly SIE Worldwide Studios), speculated on when it would be reasonable to release the tenth-generation gaming console, PS6.
According to him, the release of a new console would not be logical before 2028, as the cycles between generations have lengthened.
Right, it’s getting longer. The last cycle was seven years. If it’s seven years, we’ll see a new one in 2027. I have no information about the next PlayStation, but it feels a bit too early for me to say. The PS5 generation was slowed down because of manufacturing issues. If the next PlayStation comes out in 2028, that feels right to me. Microsoft had their leak about a 2028 plan. Maybe both of them will come out then. There are diminishing returns from the semiconductors.
It’s worth noting that at the end of last year, Sony released the PlayStation 5 Pro with more powerful hardware.
Additionally, some new games are still being released for the PS4, making it unlikely that the PS6 will appear in the near future.
