not sure if this was posted already; however, this is the equivalent to Nintendo announcing “Switch 2 is now top of mind†back in October 2021. They still have half the gen left lol. Granted, if next gen Xbox does release—for instance—in 2027, then it does make sense why Sony is moving so soon. But…IDK. This just doesn’t sit right with me. |
In actual context it makes much more sense.
"While we can't share further details at this stage, the future of the platform is top of mind."
Nishino concludes by saying they are "committed to exploring a new and enhanced way for players to engage with our content and services".

For sure, Sony know that neither developers or gamers are ready to leave the current gen anytime soon. I don't think they're in a rush to push out the next playstation, but it will be the biggest reframing of what a generational leap means for them and undoubtably PS5 is still part of that framework. They just want investors to know that they are paying attention to how the industry is changing. Software will lowkey be hardware agnostic and more innovative software is the only thing I think we really need on the PS5 side of things.
