Sony has registered the PS6, PS7, PS8, PS9 and PS10 in Japan

Discussions in the gaming circles may be swirling in recent months about the upcoming PlayStation 5 to be released in 2020, but Sony looks to be looking to the future. Specifically, wanting to make sure the PlayStation ecosystem is safe, Sony has registered trademarks in Japan for “ PS6 ,” PS7 , “ PS8 ,” “ PS9 ,” and “ PS10 ”

This is a practice Sony is accustomed to, registering its console names several years earlier. Following is the story of PS trademark in Japan.

  • “PS” (registered in 2000, released in 1994)
  • “PS2” (patented in 1999, released in 2000)
  • “PS3” (registered in 2005, released in 2006)
  • “PS4” (Registered in 2006, Released in 2013)
  • “PS5” (Registered in 2006, Released in 2020)

For history, in the early 2000s Sony had released a real advertisement for the PlayStation 9 to show the unlimited possibilities of the PlayStation Brand for the PS2. Whether it was a simple marketing joke or a sign of endless ambition, we will never know. However, if you want to get a taste of gaming of 2078, you can watch this ad through the player below and admire Sony’s vision then.
