Because here's the thing.

There was a new 3DS.

But the next Nintendo console was not just another new 3DS.

It was the Switch, right?

It was a totally different console.

It was a completely different thing.

So as a result, it was like there wasn't this one unbroken chain the way that there is with PlayStations.

So the question doesn't really apply in the same way.

You can't say, oh, the new 3DS, well, that was kind of a bridge between the 3DS and the Switch console.

Yeah, that doesn't really feel true because the Switch is just a dramatically different piece of hardware.

Part of what Joe is getting at and part of what's going on here is that the PlayStation is just kind of always the same at this point.

It is just kind of a gaming PC that runs proprietary software and plugs into your TV.

And so the 4, the 4 Pro...

The Vive, the Vive Pro, it's just kind of like, it's all kind of a slightly faster version of the same thing.

And because Sony just has this one console that they make in this one line, it feels a lot more like it's all semantics.

Well, what are we calling it?

Is it the PS5 Pro or is it the PS6?

Like, it's just kind of down to what they called it.

Well, but it's down to what games play on it.

That's true, but it feels kind of anticlimactic or it feels sort of disappointing to get this mid-cycle refresh because it's just a little bit faster.
