If they want to create an iterative platform like the IPAD it doesn't make sense to make the first iteration of that platform the PlayStation 5.

Uh, the IPad and iPhone both have generations.

And both of those devices have been iterative from the first model. If sony are going to make an iterative platform with long term backwards compatibility it doesn't make sense it brand it as a ps5. Everything would be a "ps5" game, when the original ps5 system disspeared 15 years ago. It makes more sense to just have the games as "PlayStation" games and that's it. Then have each PlayStation Device launch with a codename, a.k.a PlayStation Neo.

Maintaining numerical branding when you are creating a long-lasting eco system doesn't make sense.
