Could Sony get away with naming their next console the PS6?

[pixelation]

I mean, you have the PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4... but then they also released the PS4 Pro which you could practically call the PS5 since it's a better specced version of the PS4. Sony calling their next console the PS6 doesn't seem too crazy does it?

 

[Deleted member 364]

That's a terrible idea.

Gotta prepare for brave Microsoft.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Its really not that complicated at all.

 

[PROh1bited]

It's already been confirmed to be the PlayStation 5.

 

[Deleted member 16657]

This is the big brain play, after Microsoft names their console Xbox 5 they will be blindsided by the PS6 and everyone will buy the PS6 because 6 is greater than 5.

I think he's playing off of the other thread that said the next Xbox should be called the Xbox 5 because of the 1X being the 4th console.

 

[ArjanN]

I mean, it'd be a terrible idea, but sure. History has shown that no matter how dumb the name once it's been around for a while people just accept it.

Also they should clearly count the Vita as well and call it the PS7. :P

*Alarms go off*
Wii U. Wii U. Wii U.

Terrible idea.

PS One

To follow Microsoft for some reason.

 

[Velocity:Design:Comfort]

I mean, Microsoft already did it with Windows 10. Windows 9, we never knew ye.

There's already a PS One. Maybe call it PS One Two.

i want what you're smoking OP

well nevermind it's probably PCP or someting

I can just imagine Sony letting Microsoft reveal first - who seeing the brilliant idea in that other thread, go with Xbox 5. Sony proceeds to bring out their big guns, this gens version of being $100 cheaper - PS6.

They straight up told us they're calling it PS5 already. I know you're just riffing on that other thread too, but yeah, at least make sure the joke works :P

[Ploid 6.0]

There's no reason to skip numbers. It's not a race, and there was never a PS5 yet. PS4pro is PS4pro, or PS4.5 if you wish.

The name for the next console was already revealed to be Playstation 5.

That's what I figured even though I'm pretty sure that's against the rules technically..

 

[Falcato]

they also released the PS4 Pro which you could practically call the PS5 since it's a better specced version of the PS4.

So, it's a PS4……… Pro.

 

[Oticon]

 

[bananas]

Call it the PlayStation Vita Big Boy Edition

 

[Deimos]

You're not thinking big enough. PlayStation 7. Boom.

Against the rules?, if that's the case I apologize and ask for a mod to please lock it up (this thread).

It is time for the PlayBox.

[Tribal_Cult]

Should be Playstation One but oh well.

 

[grmltr]

Sony is obviously sitting on the name...……. STATION EX

 

[Imitation Of Life]

Maybe, but it would be a stupid decision.

 

[Adam_Roman]

I figured if anything, the next Xbox will be the Xbox 5. Like how Microsoft wanted to jump to Windows 10, Apple wanted to jump to iPhone X, etc.

 

[BasilZero]

Playstation 4 Pro is nowhere close to calling it a PS5 like spec system.

 

[SeriousGoku]

Pro was PS4.5 so this will be PS5. Nice try OP lol

 

[2PiR]

*facepalm*

we running out of things to discuss? lol sorry not to thread whining but isn't PS5 already been confirmed by Sony.

 

[ChronoMonarch]

Remember when Microsoft pulled Windows 10 out of nowhere when there wasn't a Windows 9? ... Yeahhh, Sony isn't going to pull a Microsoft here. Which is a good thing, thankfully.

 

[Dest]

That's right. Xbox Two.

 

[karmitt]

I'm sure they could "get away with it", but it would certain cause a commotion among gamers.

Apple did skip iPhone 9 and seems everybody's over it now.

 

[oni_gank]

You are wrong... they should call it PSV(ita)

 

[Hanbei]

I thought Microsoft just announced PlayStation 6, didn't they? So how could Sony name their next console PS6?
