Both Sony and Microsoft have recently released powered-up “half-step” machines, the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X, but when will the full-on successors arrive? >Earlier this year, there was a lot of speculation about when we might see the PlayStation 5 or next Xbox, with the usually-reliable Wall Street Journal saying the a new PlayStation could arrive as early as the back half of 2018. Sony and Microsoft have downplayed the speculation, but the possibility of the PS5/NeXtbox coming so soon after the release of the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X ( Amazon, $499.99) has been a cause for concern amongst console gamers.
