Rewind to four years ago, and the launch of the PS5 was nothing short of a spectacle. Emerging during the height of the pandemic, the console flew off the shelves within minutes, sparking a frenzy of demand. So coveted was the PS5 that enthusiasts were resorting to online auctions, where consoles were fetching thousands of dollars. Some went to the lengths of calling in sick on the PS5 launch day, eager to spend countless hours immersed in the allure of their cherished devices.

Fast forward to today, and the once-insurmountable hype appears to have subsided. The whispers of the gaming community now echo with the mention of the elusive PS6. Sony’s initial target of selling 25 million consoles this financial year has been lowered to 21 million due to a sales dip.

Naomi Matsuoka, senior vice president at Sony, anticipates a forthcoming decrease in the PS5’s price over the next year. Matsuoka conveyed to Bloomberg that, moving forward, the PS5 is entering the latter stage of its life cycle.

Emphasizing a focus on the delicate equilibrium between profitability and sales, she expressed expectations that the annual sales pace of PS5 hardware will commence a decline starting from the next fiscal year.

As the PS5 era comes to a close, discussions about the future of gaming are emerging. Online conversations are increasingly buzzing with speculation about the potential release of a PS6, and online users are sharing their surprise and anticipation, debating on the timeline for its release.

Amidst the buzz, a consensus is forming that the PS6 might grace the gaming scene around 2027 or 2028, every eight years aligning with the console refresh cycle.

Owen Wilson has adopted a full-on Bob Ross mode look, sporting a fuzzy perm and chatting softly while painting an evergreen tree. His latest film appears to be at least partially influenced by the venerable TV artist, at least based on the teaser.

Paint’s Screenplay Dates Back to 2010

Owen Wilson portrays Carl Nargle, a kind, outdoorsy artist, in Brit McAdams’ film Paint. For nearly three decades, Nargle has helmed Vermont’s premier painting exhibition—until another artist takes the lead.

The Paint screenplay was blacklisted in 2010 and the cast included Wendi McLendon-Covey, Lusia Strus, Michaela Watkins, Stephen Root, and Lucy Freyer. It’s finally getting the recognition it deserves.

The trailer, which was released last week, depicts Nargle enthralling viewers with his show, which is broadcast at nightlife locations and senior homes alike. A younger artist performing in a new show called Paint With Ambrosia enters the stadium, shattering Nargle’s idyllic environment. The character of Ambrosia, played by Ciara Renée, is said to “take paint to a whole new realm,” according to the teaser.

Definitely Not a Movie About Bob Ross

Ross isn’t mentioned in the trailer, and the movie’s events aren’t based on his life. Nonetheless, “the late artist undoubtedly lives on in Wilson’s Paint performance,” as Alexandra Del Rosario of The Los Angeles Times puts it.

Despite the fact that Ross passed away in 1995 at the age of 52, his legacy continues to this day as new generations continue to watch reruns of The Pleasure of Painting on streaming services and purchase Ross-themed goods like chia pets, T-shirts, and slow cookers.

Many art critics would agree that great artists, like Bob Ross, will be remembered and their legacy will live among us. Bob will always be known for his “you can do this, too” message.
