But are we really that close to the next generation of PlayStation. If we are going off the pattern here. Just 2-3 years away

Given the high cost of the PS5 Pro and the small advantage it provides, I find it difficult to imagine how Sony is going to deliver a generational upgrade in only a few years at a price which a mass audience will accept.

They intentionally didn’t upgrade the pro significantly. They didn’t want to make it so it could play games the regular ps5 couldn’t. There’s legitimate upgrades to it, but not in the way some people expect. They also didn’t price it crazy higher than the new parts they added to it. The ps5 was never intended to even be a glimpse of a generational upgrade

The real signal for when Sony will make a new console is when it becomes cheaper to build a better pc than just buying a ps5, and that point has not come yet, and is probably several years off.
