The PS6’s memory and storage alone reportedly cost more than $680

A leaker says the PS6’s memory and storage could cost Sony more than $680, adding to estimates that the console’s total component cost may approach $1,000. If accurate, the figures could make it harder for Sony to launch the console at a lower price without taking significant losses.

The leaker did not explain how the estimate was calculated, and Sony has not confirmed the PS6’s specifications or price. Sony’s hardware chief has said the company does not intend to sell hardware at significant losses; component shortages may also affect costs and timing. The article says the console could arrive as early as 2028 and may be digital-only.
