Sellars has recently provided one of the initial reports for Diablo III on the Switch and corroborated Kotaku UK's report about the upcoming Spyro the Dragon remaster trilogy, so this report is certainly one to keep an eye on. Sony already announced last week that the PlayStation 3 and Vita will be phased out from the free monthly games offered via PlayStation Plus.
The PS3 is well over its 10 year lifespan that Sony tries to adhere to, and the Vita has been without first party support for almost three years despite only being released in 2011. If this report holds true, the question on everyone's minds will likely be what Sony will do with the PS4 Pro and PlayStation VR, which have only been around for a little more than a year.
Based on previous PlayStation console launches, the PS5 could still be a few years out. There was a six year gap in between the PlayStation and the PS2, with another six years before the PS3's release in 2006. PS4 dev kits were shipped out in 2012, two years ahead of the PlayStation 4's 2014 release. Sony's current console was launched just a few days beyond the PS3's seventh anniversary, so 2020 seems like a reasonable estimate for the earliest we may see the next generation.
PS5 dev kits went out early this year to third party developers.
