The PS6 Reality Check

Why do we feel like the PlayStation 5 generation hasn't started yet? The answer isn't a lack of games, it's Manufactured Disappointment.

In this video, I break down how gamers are setting themselves up for a massive letdown with the PS6 by clinging to self-created lists of "Next-Gen Criteria." We analyze why "The Checklist" is lying to you, why the "Generation Gap" is a myth, and why the reality of 2027 (and Jason Schreier's reporting) contradicts the fantasies we've built in our heads.

Subject: PlayStation 6 (PS6) Release Date & Expectations

The "Gamer Trap": Players are suffering from "Manufactured Disappointment"—creating arbitrary checklists for what constitutes a "new generation" and ignoring the actual quality of the current library.

Verdict: 2028 Release Window (opinion)

Market Reality: The "PS5 generation hasn't started" narrative is false; it is based on self-inflicted expectations rather than software output.

Tech Philosophy: Mark Cerny's architecture prioritizing Fidelity (Ray Tracing) over raw power means the PS6 will not be the "spec beast" many are mentally listing.

Welcome to Reforge Gaming, your daily destination for gamers talking gaming. We go beyond the headlines to give you details and opinions not just the hate or hype.
