However, what Sony Interactive Entertainment has done is a bit of overkill.

So Sony Interactive Entertainment registered a few trademarks. The PS6, the PS7, the PS8, the PS9, and the PS10 names were all registered in Japan, so the company has filed five in one go. That hasn’t happened so far, and we can tell you why.

The PS name was trademarked in 2000, even though the PlayStation itself came out in December 1994 in Japan. This oddity didn’t happen with the later generations – the PS2 was registered in 1999, followed by the PlayStation 2’s launch a year later, and that console is still the best-selling console of all time. In 2005, Sony registered the PS3, followed by the PlayStation 3’s launch in 2006. Then, the company started playing safe in 2006 by registering both the PS4 and the PS5 names that year.

We can thus guess that Sony isn’t going to entirely focus on streaming after the PlayStation 5, as there will be more consoles, even though the company will try to put more emphasis on streaming with the PS5, as they recently reduced the monthly price of the PlayStation Now (which is going to use Microsoft’s Azure servers, as Sony and Microsoft struck a deal to work together – we haven’t heard any updates on this front since the announcement, though).

Let’s end with an interesting video. There’s a PlayStation 9 advertisement, set in 2078. No, we are not under the influence of any substance, and it’s not some Turkish bootleg advertisement either – this video below is legit and is made by Sony. It is your regular 2000s ad where they tried to imagine what the future could be. 2078 is still a long time away, and we have yet to see what our grandchildren will play.
