I figured for sure this would be a shorter console generation overall. Some might argue that the ninth generation of hardware has begun already, with the Switch releasing earlier last year. However, with the new trend of half-step consoles such as the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X already out — for Sony and Microsoft anyway — the eighth hardware generation could still be kicking around for a little longer.
But, this hasn’t stopped speculation and rumors cropping up regarding Sony’s next console with Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida recently stating that next-generation hardware is “necessary.” What has surprised me, though, was the timeline given in his follow-up quote of: “we will use the next three years to prepare the next step, to crouch down so that we can jump higher in the future.”
