Sony is hinting at a mid-gen refresh. That’s far from “nearly done”. Also the response to that news has been lukewarm at best. We just started getting PS5 exclusive titles this year. Nobody is in a rush to upgrade when almost nothing on the PS5/XSX generation has felt hamstrung by the hardware.
I think if they drop a PS5 Pro it will bomb, outside of a few enthusiasts who want better 4K60 performance, and those people would most likely spend the money upgrading their gaming PCs instead.
This truly is the first generation where we’re 4 years in and it feels like we’ve barely scratched the surface. IMO we have another 4 years with the PS5, plus a 2-4 year overlap with the PS6 in terms of support.
I couldn’t remember exactly what Sony said that made me think the PS5 was nearly done, so I took some time to look it up.
The actual wording Sony used was that the PS5 is "entering the latter stage of its life”, which everyone seemed to think was really fast given the lack of PS5 exclusive games and the inaccessibility of consoles for the beginning of the life cycle.
To be fair though, while many people took “latter stage of its life” to mean it’s nearly over, sony could just mean the second half of its life and it has 3-4 more years.
Seems kinda late now that Sony is saying the PS5 is nearly done.
