- A new report reveals that the PlayStation 6 will focus on affordability instead of raw power.
- Inside reports that Sony will be using the same tactic it used with the PS4.
- He also revealed that the console will cost less than the PS5 Pro and release in mid-2027.
The current generation of PlayStation may not be the very best when it comes to games, but the PS5 does have pretty solid hardware. Many think that the mid-gen refresh, PS5 Pro, didn’t really make sense because the hardware leap isn’t that much.
However, the price difference was massive, which caused concerns among the fandom regarding the upcoming generation of PlayStation. While it is a sign of concern, fans shouldn’t worry that much, as a new report has revealed that the PS6 will focus on affordability and mass appeal instead of power.
Why it matters: Microsoft has promised that the next Xbox will feature the most significant technical leap yet, so it would be interesting to see how the comparison will go with PlayStation in the coming generation.
According to Moore’s Law is Dead, who is deemed credible when it comes to leaks related to Sony, reveals that Sony won’t be going all out with the upcoming PlayStation, as it will appeal to the mass market and will be affordable, just like the PS4.
Remember the PlayStation 4? It was a console that made the choice to not go all out in specs so that it could have mass market appeal after the previous generation left some people feeling burned with how expensive it was at its launch.
It appears that Sony is planning to do this sort of strategy again with the PlayStation 6.
He further said that the console will only be 3x more powerful than the PS5, which is pretty low, but it seems like the tech giant is focusing more on the PSSR. So, AI will be the main focus on PS6, just as Nvidia has done with its latest 50 series cards.
While there are some people speculating that the upcoming console will cost around $1000, according to MLID, that isn’t the case. He has revealed that the console will cost less than $600, which is cheaper than Sony’s mid-gen refresh, PS5 Pro.
He has also claimed that the PS6 will be released in mid-2027, despite some reports mentioning a 2029 release window.
