GamesRadar - Will Sony ditch the numeric moniker for its next-gen console?
"The Bristol-based (the UK) indie games publisher Auroch Digital and indie games developer Positech Games, today announced with great happiness and thrill that their hit-political title "Democracy 4: Console Edition", is coming to consoles (PS4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores on June 5th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.

Fallout 4 is now available on next-gen consoles, offering 60fps gameplay and 4K resolution. But it's bad news if you claimed the game on PS Plus.
Probably won't happen for PS+ since Sony makes a clear distinction between a PS4 game and a PS5 game, unlike PC and Xbox where it is not a specific device game (It's now always an Xbox game).
So to make the PS5 game of fallout 4 available. Bethesda would need to renegotiate the complete deal with Sony.
hence why there's often only the PS4 version of the game available on PS+.
Let's hope Bethesda and Sony can arrive to term quickly.
This article is funny. They tell you that $35 is a good deal for this game...We know whose side they are on.
PSIV I think the roman numerals would like smart
PlayStation 4.
I mean does anyone really see Sony calling it Orbis, or any other imo dumb code name? Yes there's the whole Vita's Latin meaning being life, and Orbis Latin meaning circle. Yay Circle of Life ect... Then there's the whole Japanese number 4 superstition but I think people look to much into that.
The thing is PlayStation is a brand a massive brand known worldwide period. So if a Company is going jeopardize there brand recognition causing confusion. In doing so risk potential profits an consumer loyalty. All over shi meaning death they need some help. If anything they should rebrand it in Japan if they absolutely have to.
Anyway that's my two sense. On a side note they can call it any damn thing they want I'm still buying it regardless.
They can call it "PlayStation 4", it's alright, with the "arabic" (ahem, ahem) figure, even the Japanese will most definitely call it "Puleiste Foa" and not use the pronunciation "Shi" as if it were the japanese numeral 四 (which could be mistaken with 死, the kanji for death, which has the same pronunciation).
It would be a commercial suicide not to capitalize on the brand name "PlayStation" and call it Orbis, btw...
