Sony's next-gen console will be called the PlayStation 5, Sony Interactive Entertainment president and CEO Jim Ryan confirmed in a blog post (https://blog.us.playstation.com/2019/10/08/an-update-on-next-gen-playstation-5-launches-holiday-2020/) today. Additionally, it was given a holiday 2020 release window.
While neither of those pieces of information may be terribly surprising, they are both technically new. When Sony first started talking about the system (https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-04-16-next-playstation-will-have-discs-backward-compatibility) in April, it referred to it only as "the next-gen console" and simply said it wouldn't launch this year.
