YOGYAKARTA - Sony Group Corporation, an electronics product company, is rumored to be launching PlayStation 6 (PS6) in the coming years. Sony released PS4 in 2013, and PS5 which was introduced to the public on November 12.

Many game console lovers are wondering when PS6 will launch. Every new game console product from Sony is always eagerly awaited by fans. Even though it has entered the e-sport era or online games, console games are still in demand by many groups, from teenagers to adults.

Sony revealed the PS6 launch plan through internal documents from the PlayStation Lifestyle. In a file entitled Sony Interactive Entertainment Observations on the CMAs issue statement, this Japanese company revealed that the launch of PS6 could occur in 2027.

The document contains a discussion on Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Activision is a Call of Duty gamemaker, which is an exclusive game on Sony's PlayStation console. But the information was denied by Sony because Microsoft Xbox is a competitor to PlayStation.

"When SIE (Sony Interactive Entertainment) launches the next generation of PlayStation consoles, which are likely to occur on (hidden dates), it will lose access to Call of Duty and other Activision titles," a written statement in the document said.

Sony menyatakan bahwa hal itu membahayakan konsumen dan membuat jarak persaingan dengan Microsoft menjadi jauh. Sony juga menyampaikan bahwa mereka mampu membuat gim COD semacam. Proses produksi membutuhkan waktu selama bertahun-tahun dan menekan biaya hingga miliar dolar.

Sony has stopped production of PS4. While the PS5 has sold more than 25 million consoles. In 2022, Sony's revenue is also reported to have increased by 12% with total sales of PS 5 reaching 727 billion yen or approximately IDR 77.1 trillion.

After it was discovered that the interest in PS5 demand was quite high, now news has circulated about the launch of the next generation PS console for the next few years. However, Sony is still keeping it a secret when the PS5 will be released.

When viewed from the PS cycle or launch period from generation to generation, Sony always releases the latest PS within 7 years. This calculation can be seen from the launch of PS3 in 2006, then the next 7 years released PS4 in 2013.

After that, Sony launched PS4 in 2013. Furthermore, in 2020, Sony released the PS5 right on November 20. In the latest document regarding the leak of the launch of the next generation PS console, Sony did not explain whether the latest console would later be named PS6 or use other names.

If it is true that the launch period for the latest PS console is carried out every 7 years, then the PS5 will still last up to five more years. Although sales of the PS5 are said to be successful to reach a 40% profit in 2021, Sony must experience an increase in prices due to global economic impacts and the scarcity of consoles.

That is the information on when the PS6 will be launched, which console game lovers have been waiting for. It is estimated that PS6 will be released in 2027 considering that the launch period for the latest PS generation from Sony is always carried out once every 7 years.
