A few months ago, Microsoft's Phil Spencer revealed that his team was working tirelessly to design the next generation of Xbox consoles. He should not come as also It is surprising that Sony is doing the same thing with PlayStation, but we now have confirmation from its CEO.

Sending to the Financial Times (via IGN), Sony's CEO, Kenichiro Yoshida, has confirmed that Sony was working on "new generation hardware", without specifying however he'd call the PlayStation 5 or if he took another form.

The Financial Times also said that the console architecture would not be very different from that of the PlayStation 4. Apart from the sharp increase in performance, the system will probably work relatively similar to Sony's previous machines. Given the success of the PlayStation 4 this generation, this is not surprising.

Sony has not specified the timing of the arrival of the next PlayStation, but the director of Sony Interactive Entertainment, John Kodera, had already hinted that this could happen around 2021, while the industry analyst, Michael Pachter , said he would arrive a year earlier. The PlayStation 4 does not slow down, though, with huge games like God of the war and Spider Man receive rave reviews this year. Other upcoming games confirmed for PlayStation 4 include The last of us: Part II, Deadly grounding, and Ghost of Tsushimaalthough it is possible that they end up on newer material. We would also be shocked if Cyberpunk 2077 was not launched on the next PlayStation because it's one of the most impressive games we've ever seen.

Microsoft could offer fierce competition if the rumors about the next Xbox system are true. Microsoft could offer two separate consoles, one being a traditional system, the other being a streaming device sold at a lower price. On Monday, October 8, Microsoft announced the launch of Project xCloud, a streaming service that allows gamers across many devices to play games without buying expensive additional hardware. It also supports touch controls on phones and tablets, even for games originally designed for traditional controllers such as Sea of ​​Thieves.
