PS6 And Next Xbox Release - Is 2027 TOO SOON?

It never really feels like the year flew by until you hit October. Even with so much left to go in terms of releases – Double Fine's Keeper and Pokémon Legends: Z-A this week, Ninja Gaiden 4 and Jurassic World Evolution 3 the week after – 2025 feels complete. We've seen some surprise hits and several critically acclaimed releases. Some disappointments and more than a few horrendous titles; layoffs, studio closures, project cancellations, you name it. And yet, no matter how much further we get into this console generation, it still feels like it's just getting started.

So it's probably not ideal to learn that the next generation is underway and potentially arriving sooner than most expect. Oh, Xbox and AMD have announced their multi-year deal, the former reasserting its commitment to future hardware even as console hardware revenue drops every quarter. PS5 lead architect Mark Cerny even sat down with AMD's senior VP, Jack Huynh, and stated outright that the next PlayStation console is a few years away.
