They can’t prolong it, they gonna fall behind on tech and end up paying more to have late ps6 manufactured. Best thing to do is lock in manufac cost now for 2027 launch than lock in 2029 manufac cost for a 2030 launch. Then they can add and subtract what they want after but at least the 6 will be on the market competing by 2027. |
If they dropped a PS5 handheld in the next year or two, that could allow for a 2030 PS6.
Even if the handheld was designed to be compatible with PS5 and PS6 games, but not marketed as a PS5 or PS6 device specifically, as long as it was launched in the next few years, PS5 could last until 2030 in that case. Problem then is do you count its sales separately even though it's part of the same ecosystem, or possibly 2 ecosystems by splitting gens?
Otherwise I don't see PS5 hitting anywhere near 160M.
