People don't buy consoles for consoles. Please buy consoles to play games they want.
Assuming a long crossgen period, i expect NO ONE needing to buy PS6 for half a decade.
Normally Sony would fear people jumping to PC if the next hardware don't show up in time. But as a PC gamer, I can tell Sony has nothing to worry about. PC hardware progress is frozen.
Basically the next gen doesn't start until the tech and economics say it does . And that means an actual next gen game title that people would actually want to play, that CAN'T run on a PS5. I don't see it happen until, as I said, 6 years from now.
it reminds me of when I saw the real video of Black Myth Wukong. That was my "oh, next gen is here" moment for this generation. And that was what, 2024? PS5 came out in 2020 so that was a 4 year gap for me feeling the next gen. So for PS6 I expect 6 years.
