If the stocks of the PlayStation 5 continue to be low, two years following the start of the marketing of the console, Sony sees further and already evokes the PlayStation 6.
In the small war concerning the takeover of Activision Blizzard, which opposes Sony and Microsoft, we discover crisp information. Thus, in documents addressed to the Competition and Markets Authority, the British competition authority, we learn that Sony already has a date in mind for the launch of the PS6.
The console, which has nothing official yet (starting with its name), might see the light of day in 2028. If Sony mentions this date, it is simply because the company fears being deprived of the Call of Duty franchise in the years to come, if the takeover of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft is accepted. “By the time Sony Interactive Entertainment launches the next generation of its PlayStation console, it would have lost access to Call of Duty and other Activision titles, making it extremely vulnerable to consumer shifts and subsequent downgrading of its competitiveness”, can we read in the document.
