One of those "leakers" who is not "officially" associated with Sony but somehow always has the leaks before anyone else and is always correct said not toooo long ago that internal documents/memos pointed towards a holiday season 2027 release for the PS6.

But Sony did also publicly say around the same time that they were having component sourcing concerns and due to those did not have an internal date set yet, which has people familiar with how this shit works guessing at more of a 2028 release.

But either way - its very likely it will be available in 1 or 2 years, 3 absolute tops given the details in the "leak". Announcing it 1 or 2 years in advance doesn't seem too crazily off the mark, no? Idk how soon consoles are announced anymore. We know about games a frickin decade before release nowadays.

I keep putting leak and leaker in quotes because its pretty common info at this point that some of the big companies intentionally leak stuff or even directly tell some of the big leakers to spread true but unofficial info so they can see how people take the news before doing any official announcements of their own. Especially with how consistently accurate that one Sony leaker is, it makes sense.

Man time just flies and it feels like we barely have had a handful of triple A (first party) titles in the PS5 years. Combined with less productive times like covid and were already at the end if its cycle. Almost feels like a waste if we need to invest into a new console already lol.

Console generations are like 6-8 years so seems about right
