| Shadow1980 said: As with every other system before it, the PS5 will last as long as sales remain healthy. The console cycle is absolutely predicated on sales, not tech or other factors. Sony can attempt to extend the generation through strategic pricing, spacing out price cuts as long as possible and making them relatively small, but sooner or later it will peak and then enter a period of terminal decline, and once it starts to decline, it will be replaced in about 2 or 3 years. Realistically, the PS5 will last at most 7 or 8 years unless Sony can find a way to stretch things out as long as possible. |
Do you remember what was the answer of shu yoshida, president of Sony Worldwide Studios, when asked about PS5 for the 1st time. He said that the question was not when but if. Now we know that is coming, I expect PS5, PS5 pro, PS5 vitaminazed, They can make 2 PS5 upgrades or more if they need more sales before launching PS6 and again, making it last 8-9 years, the question would we if there will be a PS6. I think it will but it will take time.
