Seems likely given the overlap between generations.

PS1 - 1995 to 2006
PS2 - 2000 to 2013
PS3 - 2006 to 2017
PS4 - 2013 to 2025
PS5 - 2020 to 20???

So 11 years, 13, 11, 12…

PS5 is 5 years in. Don’t expect it to shut down until at least 2031, maybe even 2033.

I’m really curious if it’ll stick around even longer given how slow tech advancement has become.

Or be surprised if it stuck around for the next 5 years. PS5 is already on the chopping block due to poor raytracing performance. The only thing keeping it around is most likely because Nvidia (and now also AMD) is too busy with AI to push graphics hardware.

The long generation got extended because of the 2008 financial crisis, if anything I’d have expected a covid extension on the PS4.
