4 years after the release of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Of course, not with the same circumstances. Let's start:
- Console has an expensive underused controller.
- Specs/Online (some parts) behind competition.
- No third party support.
- Big droughs.
- Library has mixed feelings around the userbase.
- Delays are constant.
- Company is not making a lot of money like they wanted to.
- The 4th year software lineup consists on games announced 3 years ago/delayed games/HD remasters/arcade ports.
- The new hardware has an official codename and every rumor around points a release date after the 4th year of the current console, and you imagine the most exciting videogame device with an amazing library because the company is going to have to be full on it.
So, considering all of these points, would you mind if Microsoft or Sony decided to release a new console that MAYBE could fix most of these situations? Take in count the following:
- Current announced software is not going to justify the controller.
- Online has a little improvement, but they are not going to modify a lot in the current hardware, most likely in the next one.
- Third party won't come back (tbf, it will most likely keep away the next one *shrugs*).
- The first "big" game announced for the console coming next year is an HD remaster/port of a 10yo game coming until march.
- If the current library doesn't appeal to you, maybe the announced games won't either.
- Nothing guarantees no more delays.
- Eh... everyone is excited for the new hardware and their plans on another market place (I guess?).
- The last announced games were not so hot in everyone books...
- More rumors keeps pointing a new piece of hardware coming soon.
