Many gaming fans are still eagerly waiting to hold a PS5 in their hands.
The developers are probably already busy working on a replacement.
As soon as you take the new PS5 * out of the store, it is probably old hat: After the release, the developers immediately started working on the successor model, as ex-Playstation boss Shawn Layden said in a podcast of " What's Up Playstation ”revealed.
Is Sony already working on the PS6?
Statements from the ex-Playstation boss suggest this
During the interview, he gave insight into Sony's product development - and spoke about when the PS5 started: “
You start working on the next-generation platform almost a day after you deliver whatever it is current generation is
.
The development of the Playstation 5 goes back a very long time. ”According to this, work on the PS5 should have started back in 2013 - the year in which the PS4 was released.

The reason for this is, in principle, that you don't want to give the competition a chance to catch up.
Layden says in the podcast that he worked a few years ago as the personal assistant to Sony Corporation founder Akio Morita.
Its motto was therefore: “
You have to make your own product obsolete
.” If you didn't do that, you risked someone else doing it for you.
"That is the reason why in the minute you publish a product you already have a team that is working far in the background and is already developing the next version," says Layden.
