Well, if you wanna say it came after a PS5 announcement, then I'd say it needs to be an announcement. Showing prototype hardware and concept aren't the same as saying "Behold, the PlayStation 5". Sony admitted to the existence of next-gen, but they confirm the existence of next-gen early in every generation by admitting R&D is taking place for the next platform. Where are we going to draw the line?

We got a little more than prototype and concept. And even if it was as you said, would be the first time I remember seeing a next gen sucessor being show presented/confirmed this way. So it on a being nice to shadow it is acceptable to consider that an announcement of PS5. And saying that a name have been given on the case of PS5 is funny since there is probably 99:1 chance of it being PS5.

Was any of the technology used still in development? I'm fairly certain I read that SSD they were using was still in late stage development. That would make any model they're using still technically prototype. It wasn't the announcement of a PS5, it was just a showcase for some of the tech they intended on using. Yes, confirmation that a new console is coming. No, I don't find it to be a proper announcement.
