Rumors were recently doing the rounds that Sony may adopt an upgrade approach to new iterations of the PlayStation console rather than release a fully-fledged PS5, but now President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, Shawn Layden, has confirmed that a PlayStation 5 will arrive at some point.
In an interview with German gaming site, Golem.de – following a statement about the PS4 Pro approach to console upgrades – the question was posed: "This means that you are more likely to rely on a real Playstation 5 - whenever that will be?"
Layden replied: "Yes. It will probably be some time".
If we follow the PS release timelines, it should be in 2019 or 20 (6-7 years).
PS1 was released in 1994
PS2 was released in 2000
PS3 was released in 2006
PS4 was released in 2013

Yeah, I'd be in favor of that too. I just got my PS4 pro and would like to enjoy it for a few more years before being phased out

unlikely, the PS4 is still selling well and they can just price cut the Pro to counter the xbonex

Same with ron_bato, guess ko ay sa 2020 release ng PS5.
Maganda kasi tignan/basahin yun year 2020 kesa 2019 or 2018.

There's no real business advantage of releasing a new console platform this early for either the publishers, developers, and the platform holder itself. In business, you have the recoup your investment for as long as possible.
