OREANDA-NEWS Sony Corporation may postpone the release of a new generation of PlayStation. This is reported by the publication The Shortcut.

Based on Sony's financial report, media experts have revealed the release date of the PlayStation 6. President of the corporation Hiroki Totoki said that the PS5 has entered the second half of its life cycle. Journalists predicted that Sony should release a new console no earlier than 2027.

The article says that the first half of the console's life cycle was not quite ordinary. Due to the coronavirus pandemic and production problems, there has been a shortage of consoles for a long time. Therefore, Sony will not rush to release a new device.

Sony also said that the company will not release any major franchises on PlayStation until the spring of 2025. Probably, the new games released in a year will be adapted for the PS5 and PS6 to ensure a smooth transition between console generations.

In conclusion, the authors recalled that the life cycle of the PlayStation 3 was seven years, after which it was replaced by the PS4. The last console was considered relevant for six years. "We have a feeling that everything is just beginning for the current generation," the authors of The Shortcut summed up.

Previously, the well-known blogger RedGamingTech said that Sony Corporation has been working on a new generation of the PlayStation console for a year. According to his forecast, the PS6 will be released in 2028.
