It's going to be 4 years old this year in an industry that until recently had 5 year life cycles, it makes sense it's slowing down.

The PS3/Xbox 360 generation was artificially extended by the 2008 financial crisis (2005 - 2013).

It really looks like the PS5/XSX generation is going to be shortened by Covid.

I just bought a PS5 because I've never had a PlayStation. It's great that it's basically a PS4 as well, but they're really failing to get new customers.

Most consoles have had a life span of 6 - 7 years. PS5 is just over 3 years. Talk about the PS6 all you want but if it releases before 2027 I’m waiting.
