It makes sense. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see 3 years between consoles from now on.

2016
Neo releases | PS4 guaranteed support for a further 3 years

2019
PS4 support begins phasing out | PS5 releases | Neo has guaranteed releases for a further 3 years

2022
Neo support begins phasing out | PS5 Upgrade releases | Standard PS5 has guaranteed support for a further 3 years

This would be the best route for them to take. It's a great strategy.

Of course it is. It's the PC games strategy with minimal system requirements, recommended system requirements and systems where you can push all sliders to the max. ;)

Only difference is that the developers can make these recommendations and presets for each game individually and aren't obligated to special terms of the platform owner.
