I’m sorry guys but hear me out, if PS5 code name really is Erebus then maybe:



It is more than one device? From a quick (and super basic) search of Erebus in Greek mythology, it seems it fathered other deities with nyx. We assume this means ps1, 2, 3, and 4.



But it also can mean, as Erebos, a “deep darkness” or “shadow”. It is born “of chaos” whatever that means



Here’s my crazy out of this world explanaations for something that may end up being nothing lol:



1. The “shadow” part means this has more than one part to it. To have a shadow you have to a main entity. So maybe a ps5 and some sort of other ps5 device, like a hybrid a la switch model that’s portable? Idk. I know its a stretch



2. Erebus has been written about as the father of Geras, who is the god of old age. He is one of the first of five beings born into existence and is born of chaos. Maybe its a PS1 classic mini a la nes mini? The PS1 was “born of chaos” in the 90s market with 3DO, Atari Jaguar, Sega 32X/Saturn, N64 all competing with it in some way. Also, Erebus is the FIRST or one of the first of five, not the fifth.



3. The first recorded instance of Erebus is “darkness” as in it was “a place of darkness between earth and hades.” The between two realms part is interesting. So maybe its some sort of middle step? A PS4 Pro Pro? A hybrid PS4 model on 7nm? In Greek literature Erebus is used as a region in the underworld where the dead pass through immediately after dying on their way to hades i believe.



So if it means to “pass through” something, perhaps its some sort of middle step like a new PS4 model (hybrid or a Pro +?)



Of course this all depends on it being related to anything substantial at all. I just wanted to throw those out there as potential meanings.
