8 Years Isn't Enough: Why This Console Generation Needs to Be Longer - Next-Gen Console Watch

Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch! This week Daemon, Ryan, and Max take a look at ex-PlayStation Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida's recent comments about this current generation. Yoshida doesn't think gamers are interested in a PlayStation 6 or really any new generation of gaming hardware, and the PS5/Switch 2 generation should go for as long as possible. While our wallets might appreciate, can PlayStation's business model go beyond the usual 5-7 year lifespan of gaming hardware? And what about Microsoft, whose Xbox business has not been performing well in the last two generations? Maybe their mysterious Project Helix could be the thing that gives that brand a much-needed shot in the arm. Plus we have last week's poll results and a new poll for you to vote on at IGN.com, Spotify, and Discord.
