A week ago some statements from a director of sony in which He said which stated that PS5 The final phase of its useful life had already arrived, as if implying that, as is the case with Formula 1, the company was going to be more concerned with developing the new generation which, we assume, will be PS6, than with adding new features to the one we have in stores.
This led many to claim that sony completely disassociated himself from PS5, who was practically left to her own devices in the stores, since there were few things that could be done for her. And obviously, with statements like this, many took the opportunity to point the finger at the Japanese, as if wanting to indicate that they were more concerned with the future than with satisfying users in 2024.
Sony’s financial meeting
All that mistaken The interpretation occurred during a typical financial results briefing with investors, one of those in which the future plans set by a company are usually detailed to continue guaranteeing the same levels of business. There, the senior vice president of Sony Financial Group, Naomi Matsuoka, apparently said something similar to that this coming April 1, when the new fiscal year begins, PS5 will have entered the “final phase of its life cycle.”
As we told you, the interpretations came to affirm that sony and the console that they have for sale hardly cared, but the root of the problem was that that is not the phrase it came to say. That is not even the meaning that the Japanese wanted to convey during those talks with investors who trust in the government action of the managers who lead the company.
In reality, the meaning of the statements had more to do with the entry into the decisive phase of the generation, where a stabilization of the platform occurs and a correction in the price is expected that will allow it to reach a much larger number of players (although a similar PC costs you less).
It’s not so much an end as improving the success of PS5
That final cycle that Sony talks about is that of settlement, of already having a fully established ecosystem after the many problems that the generation has faced. That expression would rather be offering the players a complete experiencealready consolidated and that will help them get the most out of their consoles, after some early times in which that objective has been in question due to many factors.
The most important, the pandemic, and then all the crises that have come to form the current PS5 market, which faces the remaining years of the generation (until 2027 or 2028) with already definitive hardware (Slim version), an extra as is PS Portal, but also with a PS5 Pro that appears on the horizon to arrive this year. Maybe in the month of October or November. So, end of cycle? More like the beginning of one already established.
