Technology is going at a heart attack speed, and if many users are still saving for buy an Xbox Series X or a PS5It seems that the market is not going to wait for them, since the launch of the next generation of consoles is already being discussed. But don’t worry, since there is actually a reason why this is already being talked about. And yes, there is still a long way to go for that to happen.
Future plans have a date
The blame lies with the documents published by the trial court of the FTC that is handling the issue of Microsoft and Activision. In these documents you can read all the statements made by both parties, and that is where certain clues related to the launch of the new generation of PlayStation have been found.
And it is that in the “Duration” section, the document exposes the measures that Microsoft has promised to comply with, such as the period that reaches 2027 to continue bringing Call of Duty to PlayStation. But it is in that same paragraph when it is pointed out that Microsoft estimates that “the next generation of PlayStation consoles will launch around (date withheld for privacy)”which would suggest that he is referring to 2028, just after finishing bring Call of Duty to PS5.
Is the date official?
Obviously not. This is an estimate shared by Microsoft, and in the same way it could be before or after it. But it is clear that the industry moves around those dates, so we could be talking about that we are 5 years away from being able to make the leap to the new generation, something that seems completely normal to us as we have been experiencing the last generations of consoles. . Well yes, with Nintendo you have to look elsewhere.
A war that splashes the whole world
All these FTC documents that by law must be published in the open, are raising information of all kinds that previously were very difficult to reach, so these writings are carefully reviewed each time they are published. And it is that information as fragile as the launch of PS6 can change many plans in the long term, and everything seems to be destined to depend on the decision that the FTC makes on the purchase of Activision. It’s normal that it’s taking so long!
