Sony Interactive Entertainment has filed trademarks for "PS6," PS7," "PS8," "PS9," and "PS10" in Japan, likely as security for future PlayStation platforms.

This sort of trademark security is a regular occurrence for Sony. Here is a history of "PS" trademarks in Japan:
  • "PS" (trademarked in 2000, released in 1994)
  • "PS2" (trademarked in 1999, released in 2000)
  • "PS3" (trademarked in 2005, released in 2006)
  • "PS4" (trademarked in 2006, released in 2013)
  • "PS5" (trademarked in 2006, released in 2020

First Death Stranding, and now no Playstation 11? Pretty clear that Sony are preparing to go third party.

It makes sense. By the time the PS10 is released the world should fully succumb to the effects of climate change so no one would be around to make anymore.

Will probably live to see at least PS12, though I'm really looking forward to the PS6 in 2027.

I know it's more than likely them securing future brand names, but part of me wonders if this is going to be some elaborate part of the marketing for PS5. We've heard a rumour about how Sony is looking to emphasise the history of the brand and that games from all 4 prior generations of PlayStation consoles might be playable on PS5 (still fantasy at this point), where they just emphasise it being an all-encompassing device that plays games all the way up to PlayStation 10.



Like this, but going forward further in time.

Mid gen upgrades are getting a bit out of hand, I think I'll wait for the PS11 Pro in December 2020

I will be very surprised if there is a PS6 or above. I think they'll be fully transitioned to PSnow streaming by then kinda like Stadia.
