I have been thinking about finally upgrading to a PS5 or Xbox Series X. However, consoles usually only last 5 years before the next generation comes out. Granted, the 8th lasted 7 or 8 years, and the 9th was hurt by the COVID lockdown... But the 9th Gen consoles came out in 2020. If the consoles follow the past pattern then there is only 1 more year till PS6 and Xbox whatever comes out. Hell, the Switch came out in 17 or 18 and I have heard rumors that Nintendo is getting ready to unveil the Switch 2. Has there been any word of Microsoft and Sony developing their next consoles yet?

For the record, I have a gaming laptop. Always been a Nintendo and Xbox guy... But Microsoft has shit the bed so badly it's hard to stick with them, especially since Halo is fundamentally dead. Sony, or should I say "Soyny", has their problems but at least they have interesting exclusives... Still, the current state of gaming and the consoles makes me wary of finally poning up the money for one of the "big two" consoles, especially since my Xbox One, laptop and Switch still have plenty of fun games to play.
I'm keeping my eye on the Switch 2, particularly when it comes to its specs, backwards compatibility and eShop cross-generation support.
