It looks like Sony definitely isn’t planning to give up on this whole “game console” thing anytime soon. The company is planning to launch the PlayStation 5 in Fall 2020, but they’ve apparently also secured the future of the line with the Japan Patent Office.
Gematsu has discovered that Sony recently filed trademark applications for “PS6,” “PS7,” “PS8,” “PS9,” and “PS10” in their home country. No such applications were found during a search of the online databases for the US Patent and Trademark Office or the EU Intellectual Property Office.
While it’s fun to speculate about the PlayStation’s future, it’s unlikely that Sony probably has put much thought into the makeup of the PS6 (or subsequent consoles), though they did make us all daydream about a Matrix-inspired PlayStation 9 back in 2000 with a rather memorable commercial from the PS2’s launch.
