The last quarter of a console generation is always fascinating, because we get to watch console manufacturers simultaneously tackle two separate problems. On the one hand, the likes of Sony have to put their last-gen machine to rest, while on the other, they need to convince the enthusiast market to take a chance on their shiny new, unproven hardware. This week's episode of Plus is dedicated to this threading-of-the-needle, particularly in regard to what's next. PlayStation 5 is just about a year away, and thanks to a new Wired article, we have new, precious morsels of information from which to speculate. This episode is driven entirely by your inquiries, and touches on everything from our hopes for the PS5's UI and the possibilities of a PS5 Pro to the far-reaching effects of backwards compatibility and the heightened competition from PlayStation arch-rival Xbox. Let's have ourselves a Plus-sized chat, shall we?
