There's no way they are putting out the PS6 next year, they just put out the PS5 Pro a few months ago, the PS4 Pro came out 4 years before the PS5 and PS5 basically lost a year due to coming out during Covid and dealing with stock issues for a long while.  They are simply struggling because of all the bad decisions they've had with all these live-service game failings, hence why we saw them cancel live service games that I can't believe they dumped onto studios like Bend and Bluepoint, and are probably worried about games like Marathon and Fairgame$ being possible flops too.  Throw in the curveball of Astro Bot being so well received, it's like a complete gear shift.  Unfortunately it means that they are gonna struggle with releases for abit.

Completely separate from that discussion, I really need to find a new FPS game to play lol After this season that's about to end, I'm done with Fortnite being my casual game, seemed like a decent one for me as I got a Godzilla skin, sick, but I'm just tired of playing the game, mostly because so many matches are filled with bots.  I don't know how many, but I swear half my kills are just bots, that's not fun and I'm not interested in ranked as I'm gonna hit that point where I'm just gonna play with sweats and that's not gonna be fun.  I'm playing Zero Build and it tells me there are hundreds of thousands of people playing, why are there so many bots in these matches?  I also just feel like I'm only playing to do my quests anymore, maybe get a match or two in, which is fine, but it's more to play for the quests than the game itself.  Been getting the same feeling with Marvel Rivals recently as I might back off that game too.

I've basically played most any notable FPS game out right now, but nothing is grasping me, or I liked it, such as Apex or Hunt Showdown, but felt like games that desperately require some good friends to keep me interested for longer.  The only game on the horizon is Battlefield 6, but that could be another bomb for all I know, and that won't release till way later this year.   Now I get to do that dumb thing of browsing stuff I have played before, reinstalling, seeing if it catches me or not...

Hard agree. At least I hope so. If Sony jumps to PS6 it might be the biggest failure since Wii U.  PS5 sold well because of surge stimulus spending and everyone being inside. All games did.  But will consumers who just spent 500 on a 5 or 700 on a Pro wanna splurge on a 6 when PS5 never even hit its stride? No way. It'll collapse. You can only rely on blind consumerism until the lambs realize the conveyer belt. And I think people are well close to that. 

"Next gen" has lost all meaning at this point. It feel bogged down in this technology stand still.  Nobody needs a new plastic box. For what? 4k 60fps? The people with expendable incomes will buy one. No regular consumer will.  Xbox isnt gonna release a next gen console at all if I was a predicting man.  And Nintendos is more of a Switch Pro then a switch 2 if were being honest (smart move)


I hope Sony sinks effort into finishing PS5s legacy strong. The PS5 is glorious. I dont think its ready to be ended yet. GTA 6 will for sure awaken the market.  It was never a hardware issue.
