With rumours swirling that Sony could be developing a mid-generation console upgrade in the form of PS5 Pro, Doug Bowser reiterates that the current Nintendo Switch will stick around for “the next few years”.
Just when you think the Nintendo Switch has reached its peak in terms of what it has left to give, the handheld/home console hybrid continues to surprise with a stellar 2023 release calendar that includes the likes of Fire Emblem Engage, Pikmin 4 and, of course, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Yes, despite having entered its sixth year on the market, Nintendo’s device continues to be a raging success, proving that great games can come out on hardware regardless of age.
Sony, on the other hand, has recently been rumoured to already be working on a souped-up mid-generation console upgrade to the PS5. Supposedly called the PS5 Pro, the thinking – at least according to Insider Gaming’s report – is that by prioritising “accelerated” ray tracing, games could look and perform better than they already do. I struggle to believe that’s the case, though, since it still feels like the original PS5 has barely found its feet and PlayStation games still launch on the previous generation.
