Sony has not set a date or price for the PS‑6

In its recent financial report, Sony has yet to announce a launch window or pricing for the next generation of gaming console – PlayStation 6.

What the Sony head said
President and CEO Hiroki Totoki answered questions about the PS‑6 and rising component costs, noting:

> “We have not yet decided when we will release the new console or at what price. We would like to observe the situation. Based on current circumstances, in fiscal year 2027 memory prices are also likely to remain very high because demand will still outstrip supply. Given this, we need to carefully consider our next steps.”

Thus, the decision on date and price remains open.

Why memory is a key factor
Totoki emphasized that RAM prices will stay high in fiscal year 2027 due to limited supplier supply. This circumstance forces Sony to plan its future actions and potential strategy changes more meticulously.

What rumors say
According to unverified sources, future PlayStation models may feature significantly larger memory capacities:

DeviceExpected memory
Portable PS‑624 GB
Home console PS‑630 GB

Possible strategic adjustments
Sony’s leadership also stated that it could revise sales and promotion plans for current PlayStation 5 models if market conditions change. However, rising prices for the PS‑5 already limit the company’s flexibility: this generation of consoles has become less affordable, and consumers are not yet ready to discuss PS‑6 details until PS‑5 prices return to more previous levels.

Bottom line: Sony continues to assess memory pricing and market demand before announcing a launch date and price for the new console. For now, only speculation about potential specifications and sales strategy remains.
