The interview between Cerny and Wired was released earlier, which resulted in fans across the Internet sharing their excitement for the PlayStation 5. While many did convey their joy for official details about the console, some have certainly expressed their reservations. Sure, the PlayStation 4 is pretty powerful, but there is always room for improvement. Either way, the hype train is beginning to roll out of the station.

Needless to say, fans are pretty excited about the PlayStation 5. Again, not all of the details are out on the table, but what has been unveiled so far is looking pretty good. Since Sony won’t be at this year’s E3, however, we might just be waiting a bit of time before more information comes to light. Either way, exciting times ahead!

What do you think about all of this? Are you beyond excited for the PlayStation 5, or do you need to know more before you are completely sold on the next generation hardware from Sony? Are you hoping the backwards compatibility includes all PlayStation consoles and not just the current one? Sound off in the comment section below, or feel free to hit me up over on Twitter @anarkE7!
