That's not really a good idea. Technology wise, we are seeing a move from traditional gpus to "AI-heavy" gpus with a development that has to prove itself maybe one more generation.
Issuing something in 2027 means the design cycle has to close pretty soon, locking you out of the deveopment too early. NVidia has more or less proven that improvements on the "conventional side" of gpus are pretty much non-existant comparing 40x0 to 50x0 gpus. If Sony wants a PS6 much more powerful than a PS5 Pro, they have to think hard for another 1-2 years. In any case, it won't be an easy decision. If manufacturing prices stay as they are, or even further increase due to Trump's incoming attack on Taiwan, an $750 PS6 is not out of the question...
My guess is they will want to drag out the PS5 period for at least another 3 years.
