Some of Japan-based technology giant Sony’s plans for the game console PlayStation were leaked as part of the claim. According to the allegations based on sources familiar with the subject, the company has started preparations for the PlayStation 6. Moreover, it is claimed that Sony gave up models such as PlayStation 5 Pro and PlayStation 5 Slim for this cause.
The allegations against Sony are seriously confusing. Because the company has been on the agenda for a long time, especially with the PlayStation 5 Pro. In fact, this console was expected to be released in the end of 2023 or in the first months of 2024 at the latest. However, the latest claims reveal that Sony has given up on this model for PlayStation 6.
Even more interesting is the release date of the PlayStation 6
*Concept design.
According to the common beliefs of industry sources, PlayStation 6 will not be released before 2028. So players will wait for the new console for at least 5 more years. This big void could have been filled very easily with the PlayStation 5 Pro or the PlayStation 5 Slim, which was expected to be relatively affordable. The latest news suggests that Sony may have given up on all this.
But here, too, there is an advantage for Sony. Until 2028, the company can follow the feedback of the players, focus on the latest technologies and present the PlayStation 6 to us in a much more advanced way than the PlayStation 5. In fact, we can say that this is a logical approach. Because Sony has sold over 30 million PlayStation 5s to date, and these sales are increasing every day.
By the way: Sony may have missed the release date of the PlayStation 6!
It is known by everyone that Sony has been at war with Microsoft for a while. The reason for this fight is that Microsoft wants to buy Activision, the publisher of the Call of Duty series. The company is trying to thwart this purchase, amid concerns that the popular game may be exclusive to Microsoft’s Xbox consoles. Here, the litigation process between the two giants may have caused the release date of PlayStation 6 to be disclosed.
In a new report submitted to the UK Competition and Markets Authority, Sony cites an offer from Microsoft. This offer includes the ability for Call of Duty games to remain in the PlayStation ecosystem without any issues until the end of 2027. Sony, after announcing this offer, says that the PlayStation ecosystem will be deprived of Call of Duty during the release of the new generation PlayStation. From here, it is claimed that Sony is pointing to the years 2027-2028 for the PlayStation 6…
