During a recent financial call, Sony's President and CEO, Hiroki Totoki, confirmed that the company has not yet set a price or release date for the future PlayStation 6. The decision depends on market evolution, especially the memory price crisis, which could extend into 2027. This delays any immediate plans for the new generation.
The memory crisis conditions PS6 development 🧠
Totoki pointed out that the cost of memory components remains a critical factor in defining the console's final specifications. The price increase, affecting storage chips and RAM, forces Sony to wait for market stabilization before committing to specific hardware. This implies that the technical design of the PS6 is on hold, and the company prioritizes a prudent financial approach over immediate innovation.
The mystery of PS6: no price, no date, no rush 🕵️
Meanwhile, fans can start clearing their calendars for 2026 and 2027, because the PS6 won't arrive even in their dreams. Sony seems to be playing hide-and-seek with its own console, waiting for memory to stop costing an arm and a leg. And with current prices, perhaps the next big novelty will be selling the console in installments or including credit to buy games.
