## Key points

- PS6 could cost around $1,000 or more.
- Memory shortages may push its launch to 2028 or 2029.
- The PS5 still has room to run.

## Summary

Sony is expected to delay the PlayStation 6 and price it at about $1,000 or more, as soaring memory costs make the next console expensive to produce. The timing and price matter because they could shape when players move to a new generation, while the PS5 still has major games ahead and demand for dedicated consoles may be weakening.

Reports put the cost of the PS6’s RAM and storage memory alone at more than $680, amid shortages linked to demand from AI data centres. Its total component cost is reportedly about $200 below Microsoft’s next Xbox, Project Helix, which is projected to cost $1,200 to $1,800. Sony has not set a release date; while November 2027 had seemed possible, reports now point to 2028 or 2029, with lengthy game development and the PS5’s continued sales also factors in.
