Yesterday, Sony shared its financial report as part of the closing of the third quarter of the current fiscal year. Here, it was revealed what the future of the PlayStation will be. In addition to revealing that there are no plans to launch new games from its largest properties, it was also mentioned that he PS5 had entered the last stage of its life cycle, something that turned out to be a translation error.
Because only the official document was available in Japanese at the time, Bloomberg, who shared this information, made a mistake in the translation. Fortunately, Sony has already shared this information in English, where it is mentioned that The PlayStation 5 has entered the second half of its life cycle. This is what has been commented:
“As for the PS5 hardware, which will enter its fifth year since its launch, partly due to its entry into the second half of the console cycle, our goal is to optimize sales with a greater emphasis on balance with profits. , so we anticipate a gradual decline in unit sales starting next fiscal year.”
Despite the translation error, the idea remains the same. Sony expects that starting April 1, 2024, sales of the PlayStation 5 will begin to gradually decrease until it is time for the company's next console to reach our hands, something that, according to leaked documents, would happen until 2028.
We can only wait to see what Sony will do with the PS5. Considering we won't see new games from its biggest properties until 2025, This leaves 2024 as a year where third-party titles would be responsible for attracting players to this console.. However, the possibility of seeing smaller installments of some of his not-so-big franchises is not ruled out, such as the new and rumored Astro Bot.
Let's hope to have more information about the future of the PlayStation 5 as soon as possible. On related topics, you can learn more about the next Astro Bot here. Likewise, these are the new games for PlayStation Plus.
Editor's Note:
It is clear that the PlayStation 5 is no longer the new console that everyone wants to have. Although 54 million units may be seen as a small number compared to what was seen with the PS4, at least at this time, Sony needs to continue creating experiences that attract more players, or create an improved version of its current hardware.
