‘Sony are complete fools for talking about the PlayStation 6 so early’

A Reader’s Feature insists that Sony is incorrect to commencement hinting astir the PlayStation 6, lone days aft they announced the PS5 Pro.

Can idiosyncratic explicate to maine wherefore the precise archetypal happening that Sony did aft officially announcing the PS5 Pro (an announcement, request I punctual you, that went down similar a pb balloon) is to commencement talking astir the PlayStation 6?

I’m not a concern adept oregon thing but I would’ve said that that reminding the radical that you’ve conscionable tried to merchantability a £700 console to (and person each told you to get lost) that there’ll beryllium different 1 retired successful conscionable 2 oregon 3 years is astir apt not a bully idea.

I don’t request to consult immoderate absorption groups to cognize that cipher wants different caller procreation of consoles close now. The PlayStation 5 hasn’t adjacent begun to beryllium stretched, with little than a fistful of exclusives, which makes the PS5 Pro wholly unnecessary but the PlayStation 6… to adjacent deliberation astir it close present is madness.

I’ve heard it said that Sony are conscionable making definite they don’t get outmanoeuvred by Xbox but, travel on. Xbox couldn’t outmanoeuvre a breached buying trolley. Sony has wiped the level with them clip aft time, truthful the thought that they person to unreserved to antagonistic the adjacent gen Xbox is nonsense to me.

Better to fto Xbox clang and pain erstwhile again and conscionable ore connected making bully games, which utilized to beryllium the crushed wherefore everyone liked PlayStation. Nintendo has proven that console cycles and generations don’t matter. Just get the hardware close and instrumentality with it, pumping retired large games and staying focused.

Of people they won’t bash that, due to the fact that for immoderate crushed they ne'er look to Nintendo for inspiration, adjacent though they’ve survived longer, and produced amended games, than anyone other successful the business.

But past Sony has had a weird cognition towards hardware each generation. They won’t marque immoderate much caller games, but they support pumping retired caller hardware. The PlayStation VR2, DualSense Edge, PlayStation Portal, PS5 Slim, and present PS5 Pro… they’ve made much adjacent gen hardware devices than they person adjacent gen (as opposed to cross-gen) games!

And earlier you effort to reason that it doesn’t substance due to the fact that they sell, and the PlayStation 5 is doing truthful good they don’t request to marque their ain games, that’s conscionable not true. Yes, they’re beating Xbox but that’s not precisely hard. Nintendo is doing that too, with the seven-year-old Switch.

PlayStation 5 income are successful decline and overmuch earlier successful the procreation than was expected. And ohio gee, I wonderment wherefore that mightiness be? Could it beryllium because… Sony stopped releasing games for it!

It truly is ridiculous however Sony and Microsoft volition bash virtually thing but conscionable knuckle down and marque immoderate large games. If they’d done that from the commencement (and realised that possibly they should clasp backmost connected the budgets a bit) we wouldn’t beryllium successful this ridiculous mess.

And yet aft having seemingly ne'er learnt thing from immoderate of their experiences (bonus fact: PlayStation is 30 years aged this year) they’re present some readying a caller generation. For Sony successful peculiar that’s ridiculous.

It goes without saying I won’t beryllium buying the PlayStation 6 but I’m consenting to stake that astir different radical won’t either. I’m not definite if Sony realise this but they’re stretching radical to breaking point. Nothing they are doing close present is what we privation and a marque caller console, connected apical of the 1 they lone announced past week, is the nonstop other of what they should beryllium doing.
