Sony PlayStation has had a great year. In fact, let's be honest, the console giants have had a pretty fantastic console generation, topped off with a fantastic Game Awards 2018 win for God of War most recently.
However, Sony is now looking at 2018 in the rear view mirror and have a rather exciting 2019 on the horizon.
Assuming all those rumours we've heard over the past few months ring true, we could see the likes of Shawn Layden and co announcing the companies next console, the PlayStation 5 (presumably shortened to PS5).
And when Sony do make that all-important console announcement there will be no shortage of important questions for the technology giant to answer.
How much will the PS5 cost? Will the PS5 be backwards compatible? What games will the PS5 launch with?
This is just three but there will be so many more questions that consumers will be begging to have answered. But there's one very important change from the existing PS4 which nobody seems to be talking about: what will the console UI look like?
Console UI isn't a particularly sexy concept or console feature to think about, but it is incredibly important, regardless.
When you think about the PS4 console, the UI has remained, pretty much, the same since launch.
There has been changes, tweaks, additions and much more since the original launch of the console. The 4.0 Firmware update that was rolled out with the PS4 Pro, in particular, was excellent in decluttering the menu's, but overall the console menu's have been pretty consistent and easy to use.
But by comparison, the Xbox One dashboard UI has undergone a whole series of overhauls, some more extreme than others. But even now, the UI is still not great, despite being significantly better than what it used to be.
The point is, Sony has quite a lot of work to do to ensure that the PS5 once again has a fantastic UI
but it is difficult to say anything in confirm but it is sure that it will be amazing
