Will we be getting another version of the PlayStation 4 Pro? That doesn’t seem out of the question: Sony President and CEO Shawn Layden suggests that there will a substantial wait before we hear anything about a true next-generation PlayStation, unofficially killing those rumors of a PS5 debuting as early as the end of next year. Based on previous generations, we may not see it until 2020 or 2021.
“With the PlayStation 4 Pro we have for the first time implemented this kind of innovation within the life cycle of a console,” said Layden, according to a rough translation in Google Translate. “The Pro is really only to offer advantages such as 4K resolutions and HMD for players who can and want to use that. Add to this a more stable image rate and larger hard disk space. But [PS4 owners have] no real disadvantages. Each of our games will continue to run on the classic PS4 and possibly slightly better on the Pro.”
