While a lot of PS4 fans were worried that Microsoft were going to leave Sony in the dust by ushering in the next-gen and leaving the Playstation makers playing catch up, one tidbit in the Wired article indicates that's far from the case.

It clarified that Sony have been working on their new console since 2015 - before the PS4 Pro even hit the market - rather than purely focusing on their current slate of machines.

It means that, while they've kept their mouth shut publicly, they've been more than prepared for whatever Microsoft have been working on, and been ready to jump in on the next-generation no matter if the competition moved first.
