off-topic, but it truly disturbs/shocks me to think that PS6 talks will probably start up come next year. If this graph is any indicator, PS5 only has three holiday seasons left.
It feels like just yesterday, the PS5 released and was experiencing its initial shortage…
There are some rumors that the PS6 will only be released in 2028
I hope PS6 releases sooner. Ps5 is such an overrated flop. Not sure why it's even selling, since it has LESS exclusives than the Wii U has.
It's an amazing success that stomped the competition.
Your disturbed by your own speculation? PS5 is selling amazing why would they rush to replace it. They haven't even released the PS5 Pro yet so why are are talking about PS6
im disturbed that one day, it was PS4; and not far in the future, it’ll be PS6. Time is flying!
PS4 was selling Amazingly, but yet Sony still rushed the ps5. 4 years later and ps5 has less exclusives than the Wii U has. Why did they rush to replace the ps4? Ps4 ports are heading to ps5 for crying out loud. PS6 will be here sooner than you think. If they can replace the ps4, which was doing better than the overrated ps5, than I think they can replace the ps5 sooner.
PS5 came out 7 years after PS4 and your calling that "rushing*. They also had to launch when they did to compete with the XBS launch. If Sony rushed then MS also rushed going by your logic
I believe the ps5 will sell quite a lot in March and April. Maybe it can match the ps4 later this year
No need to thumb this comment down. Tribalism on this website is quite bad
It looks like I’ll sell less than the ps4
