Yesterday, we had a glimpse of what Microsoft is planning for the future of Xbox, namely that it is producing a new service, xCloud, that will stream games to all devices you own, without a console. . are still making consoles, they say).
Sony has been less direct with their projects. It's kind of an open secret about the release of the PlayStation 5, but given the success of the PS4 (God of War! Spider-Man!), Sony does not really see the point of talking about the future.
And yet, they confirmed the existence of the PS5 in a comment to the Financial Times, even if they did not specifically call it "PlayStation 5".
"At this point, what I can say is that it is necessary to have a new generation hardware," says Kenichiro Yoshida, of Sony, at the FT, without making any comments. on new information that the PS5 would be a break from the PS4. what that means are unknown.
Sony is starting to be put in a weird position for the next generation. Nintendo has had success with the Portable Switch and we now know that Microsoft uses streaming and xCloud, whose main purpose is to bring all games, both its own and third party titles, to mobile devices. such as tablets.

While Sony is interested in streaming with PlayStation Now, it seems difficult to know if they are ready to dive into the mobile space or not. Sony did well with pretty much do not innovates as much as previous generations of consoles by simply manufacturing more powerful, relatively simple hardware, with essential exclusives of high quality. So far, he has served them well and could serve them again if that is what the PlayStation 5 provides.
I think the market still does not have to worry about buying new console hardware for now, despite claims to the contrary. Yes, in this era of streaming media, it's pretty odd to have locked single-box games, which Microsoft is trying to create, and yet I can not say that I've ever felt terribly 'restricted' by my PS4, despite a lack of Play Anywhere or portability.
Sony's biggest misstep in recent memory, their desire to restrict cross-play between their console and Microsoft and Nintendo, is a problem they are currently tackling. Fortnite The fans made them face the ugly truth they did not want to see, it must be done and the players are expecting it now.
Sony has canceled the PlayStation experience this year, probably because a lot of what is being worked on as Horizon Zero Dawn and God of the war suites are probably under development for new generation hardware. There are many who think the PS5 could come as early as the holidays of 2019, but given the performance and performance of the PS4, I'm sticking to my original predictions about the 2020 vacation.
I do not know at all how the next generation of consoles will go, Microsoft with its experimental streaming associated with a new console, Nintendo with a middle-aged Switch and Sony with … whatever the PS5 that will end up being. But I look forward to them all.
