- Yoshi P, the director of Final Fantasy, claims that there is no need for new hardware.
- He thinks that the current PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch 2 are more than enough.
- However, Microsoft and Sony have already planned their next-generation consoles.
The console war feels over now, with Microsoft stepping back from the hardware race this generation. PlayStation 5 continues to sell like hotcakes, recently surpassing the lifetime sales of the PSP. Sony has also launched its mid-gen refresh, the PS5 Pro, while Nintendo has introduced the Switch 2.
With that in mind, Final Fantasy director Yoshi P has said there is currently no need for new hardware, as the PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch 2 are more than enough.
Why it matters: Microsoft and Sony are already preparing for their next consoles, with the former aiming to launch its as early as next year.
Feed4Gamers had the courtesy to interview the famous Yoshi P. In the interview, he was asked whether there is any way Final Fantasy 14 would become a cross-generation game, as there are already talks about the next generation of consoles.
Yoshi P replied by saying that there is always a possibility of providing their games on those platforms, as he aims to provide FF14 to as many players as possible. From a developer’s perspective, he doesn’t think that the addition of a new console is a negative thing.
However, from a gamer’s perspective, he thinks there is no need for new hardware as people are satisfied with the current generation one.
When I look at things from a gamer’s perspective, I feel that there’s no real need to make new hardware, because I think right now people are happy with the Xbox Series X, the PS5 or the Switch 2.

He further stated that hardware is simply too expensive for most players. Even so, the major gaming companies are already preparing their next consoles, and with GTA 6 launching next year, Microsoft could try to capitalise on the momentum by releasing its next-gen system.
That said, there is nothing confirmed regarding the release of any next-gen console.
