Upcoming Consoles

You’re probably familiar with the currently available consoles from PlayStation (including the PS4, PS4 Slim, and PS4 Pro), Xbox (the Xbox One, Xbox One S, and Xbox One X), and Nintendo (the Nintendo Switch), but the next wave of consoles from Sony and Microsoft have been officially announced.  Both the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X have projected release dates in late 2020 (around the holiday season), and the two companies have released the specs for their next-gen machines.

Nintendo, however, currently maintains that no plans to launch a new Switch model are in the works for 2020 .
