Sony has made it clear they're in mid-2000s level of arrogance again when the PS3 was being developed and released. Nothing is ever guaranteed but there's a good chance PS6 struggles out the gate if the arrogance continues.

Exactly. I stuck with them back then through the rough but I'm not a teenager anymore, they can't rely on their aging base like they think they can, they aren't apple. The 10th gen could swing very badly for them if they don't get it together cause Xbox is over there incubating games and trying at innovation. It looks mighty tempting had they not started this multiplat stuff and leave doubt of the hardware security for us. 

Sadly, I'm almost forced to upgrade to PS5 cause I have no other route to the games I want to play but I can't say I'll be their 10th gen. 

If PS6 is a similar level of mistakes to PS3, the only thing salvaging Sony out of the gate that we could already bet on is the digital ecosystem and PlayStation Network. There would still be a notable enough number of early adopters that use the logic of "Hey, it is expensive and doesn't have many games I want to play but I'm already in the PlayStation ecosystem and I want better specs than PS5 and PS5 Pro".
