Where does Sony go after the PS5 Pro? (Sony Interactive Entertainment)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sony<\/a> has discussed its next generation plans for PS6, which seems to include some kind of handheld.<\/p>\n

There’s still a sense the PlayStation 5<\/a> generation has barely begun, due to the lack of exclusive games and the amount of people still playing on last gen hardware<\/a>, but Sony has its eyes firmly set on the next generation.<\/p>\n

As such, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s new president and CEO, Hideaki Nishino, was asked various questions about the future of PlayStation during a recent business presentation<\/a>, a transcript of which was released this week.<\/p>\n

As part of this presentation, Nishino was asked specifically about the advancements in cloud gaming, and whether it could make a new home console redundant.<\/p>\n

After highlighting how Sony has experimented with cloud gaming since the PlayStation 3 generation, Nishino explained how he believes the majority of players still want to play games through ‘local execution’ due to the instability of online connections.<\/p>\n

‘The business model for cloud gaming must be sustainable for the longer term gross,’ Nishino said. ‘Cloud gaming is progressing well from a technical standpoint, we have demonstrated with these offerings, but end-to-end network stability is not in our control. And the higher cost per playtime compared to the traditional console model remains a challenge.<\/p>\n

‘Cloud gaming is increasingly providing additional options for players to access content, but our belief is that the majority of players continue to want to experience gaming through local execution without dependency on local network conditions. And PS5 and PS5 Pro have validated this thesis, I believe.’<\/p>\n
