The source the Tweektown article is quoting also says:
Anticipation is so high that some competing game publishers are waiting as long as possible to commit to their release dates for the fall, according to people familiar with their deliberations who asked not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly. The publishers want to see whether GTA 6 will make its deadline or slip into 2026, these people say, and they’re determined to keep their own games far, far away.
This is probably more interesting, that some upcoming games which don’t have release dates may be waiting for this before they commit to a schedule is somewhat noteworthy.
Well technically we’ve had it confirmed all the way up to the PS9. Which presumably will release alongside somehow the Xbox X because Microsoft can’t name a product to save their life
That’s not a headline. That’s like the science community releasing a headline that Earth has been confirmed to be an oxygen rich environment.

Confirming obvious things is still important. Everyone knows a PS6 will exist but it’ll be huge news when it’s official

To me this is more like, the playstation 6 will have online connectivity.
this is not huge news.
