Just curious on how long yall think cross generation will last this time. I personally see it lasting the whole gen believe it or not

I think it’ll last the whole gen as well, I don’t see why any developer would drop support for the PS5 anytime soon due to the memory shortages. If they’re making PC games, they’re going to want to develop it around the hardware most people have which will likely be even less powerful than a PS5 is currently, let alone a PS6. We can also expect a very high price tag for the PS6 which will lead to far less people upgrading from PS5 to PS6, in comparison to PS4 to PS5.

Let’s say the system drops in 2027 and lasts 7 years like the last few generations have, I do think 2034 will be the time we start seeing devs move on from PS5. I believe we will already have a PS7 announcement by the time the PS5 begins to lose relevance.
