Whenever a new generation starts, in this case the PS5, all users think that their current console will stop receiving support and will become an obsolete object at any moment, but, it seems that it will not happen like that and this will be the case of the PS4.
According to a recent interview with Hideki Nishino – Senior Vice President of Strategy and Global Product Management for PlayStation – by Japanese Media AV Watch, we are still going to see a lot of content between generations to support both the PS4 like PS5 for a few more years.
‘The current assumption is that the transition from PS4 a PS5 it will take about three years‘Nishino declared. ‘We have over 100 million PS4 customers, but we will do our best to move to PS5 ASAP’.
It is worth remembering that Sony’s transition from PS3 a PS4 it was almost immediate and very few titles developed exclusively for the PlayStation 4 came out in the PS3, so this movement also addresses the idea that the situation may not be there to pressure the market.
What kind of support could the PS4 receive from now on?
It is worth remembering that a few months ago, executives of Sony They said they weren’t going to abandon the PS4 in the short term. Sure, back then most games of PS5 that they were launching were exclusive and the greatest support was seen from afar that it would come from the third party.
With this strategy we see that Sony is taking a path much like that of Xbox which will launch more games for three years both for Xbox One as Series X. Now we could say that it will be a generation that lasts 10 years.
