Following the record-breaking launch of the Switch 2, PlayStation and Xbox have started teasing their next-gen consoles.
You’ve probably already heard that the Nintendo Switch 2 is the fastest-selling game console in history with over 3.5 million sold after four days on the market. I am going to make an educated guess that PlayStation and Xbox saw Nintendo’s announcement, because both companies are suddenly rather chatty about their next consoles.
PS6 is ‘top of mind’ for Sony
Last week, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Hideaki Nishino was asked about PlayStation’s hardware plans (via VGC). He didn’t share any details, but did say that “the future of the platform is top of mind.” He added that the company is “committed to exploring a new and enhanced way for players to engage with our content and services.”
Documents published in 2022 as part of an investigation into Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard claimed that a new generation of consoles wasn’t expected until fall 2028 at the earliest.
