The most likley launchtime for PS6 is late 2027.
1.) Sony THEMSELFES said, that the PS5 already is past its first half of its lifecycle. That was about a year ago in february 2024.

2.) Sony in fact said that PS6 will also release when PS5 is still doing fine- what could be a notice of a PS3/PS4 like lifecycle at least for hardware production.


3.) If MS really launches a new Xbox next year, they have no other choice. Also Switch 2 releases this year.
2028 is suicide anything later than that ain't gonna happen. Mark my words!

Explain why 2028 would be suicide and how the next Xbox launching in 2026 poses a threat. This brings back memories.

Quite easy. MS would get a headstart of 2 years (Xbox 360 anyone?) Nintendo will have 3 years. Remember what happened with PS3? This is a risc Sony will not want! Also if  Switch really runs as good as many people predicting it could be a record breaking launch! Add in the fact that the MS/ Activision contract includes all Activision games for Nintendo systems for 10 years but only COD for Playstation, does bring some riscs. Nintendo is basically guaranteed to get all Activision games for 10 years. It could be that Sony gets more but the contract only saves COD for them. If the Switch 2 becomes THE mobile device for 3rd parties AND the Nintendo games (MK, Smash, Zelda, Pokémon, Metroid, Kirby...)+ former Xbox exclusives like Halo, Forza, Gears... AND has physical games (PS6 will likley be digital only) that won't be nothing and it must be taken into account by Sony. Just saying "Nintendo is no competition" like some vgchartz users shout is no solution! The industry sees them in competition. Also consider the fact that Sony ports their games to PC and Nintendo does not. Xbox is a lot smaller than it used to be but its far from a nobody! Sony cannot just do what they like and get an easy win! We saw this in gen 7, we somehow see it in Gen 9 (vs Switch) and YES i am comparing Switch directly with PS5 and Xbox! See what i mean?

@Kyuu

A full next gen system (PS or Xbox) will be a good chunk more powerfull than last gen. If Sony/ MS decides to make a next gen only experience, this gens graphics will be a childs birthday. You cannot rely on that everything gets cross gen releases.
