The PS5 was released on November 19, 2020 and despite the fact that the launch was in the midst of the COVID-19 misfortune, the results for Sony were good.
Since its release, it was a nightmare for gamers to get one due to the scarcity of the console and also because of the scalpers, who back then bought the consoles to resell them at absurd prices.
However, it may seem strange that an official document dating the PS6 release window has been made public by Sony. The documents being made public are due to the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in response to Microsoft’s pending acquisition of Activision Blizzard. On page 8 of the 22-page document, Sony claims that Microsoft “offered to continue making Activision games available on PlayStation only until 2027“.
The document continues: “By the time SIE releases the next generation of its PlayStation console (which will probably be around [eliminado]), you would have lost access to Call of Duty and other Activision titles, making you extremely vulnerable to consumer switching. and the subsequent degradation of their competitiveness.”
However, as mentioned in the article by PlayStation Lifestyle, the exact release year of the PS6 has been removed from the document. However, the information provided suggests a post-2027 release window. So if Sony’s docs are any good, the PS5 could have a lifecycle of at least seven years, giving it the longest lifespan. short of any generation of PlayStation console.
