A week ago, some statements from a director of Sony in which He said who declared that PS5 The final phase of its useful life had already arrived, as if to imply that, as is the case with Formula 1, the company was going to be more concerned with the development of the new generation which, we assume, will be the PS6, than adding new features to the one we have in store.
This has led many to assert that Sony completely dissociated himself from PS5, who was practically left to her own devices in the stores, because there was little for her to do. And obviously, with such statements, many took the opportunity to point the finger at the Japanese, as if they wanted to indicate that they were more concerned about the future than about user satisfaction in 2024.
Sony financial meeting
All that false idea The interpretation took place during a typical financial results briefing with investors, one of those in which the future plans set by a company to continue guaranteeing the same levels of activity are usually detailed. There, Sony Financial Group Senior Vice President Naomi Matsuoka apparently said something similar to this next April 1, when the new fiscal year begins: PS5 will have entered the “final phase of its life cycle”.
As we told you, interpretations have come to affirm that Sony and the console they have for sale hardly cared, but the root of the problem was that this is not the phrase he came to say. This is not even the meaning that the Japanese wanted to convey during these interviews with investors who trust the government action of the managers who run the company.
In reality, the meaning of the statements had more to do with entry into the decisive phase of the generation, where a stabilization of the platform occurs and a price correction is expected that will allow it to reach a much larger number of players (even if a similar PC costs you less).
It’s not so much an end as it is about improving the success of the PS5
This last cycle Sony is talking about is one of colonization, of already having a fully established ecosystem after the many problems the generation faced. This expression would rather be to offer players a complete experiencealready consolidated and which will help them get the most out of their consoles, after some initial times where this objective was called into question due to many factors.
The most important, the pandemic, and then all the crises that have come to form the current PS5 market, which faces the remaining years of the generation (until 2027 or 2028) with already definitive hardware (Slim version), a extra like the PS Portail, but also with a PS5 Pro which seems on the horizon to arrive this year. Maybe in October or November. So, end of cycle? Rather the beginning of an already established project.
