From what I've read on gamefront, there will be three SKUs.
- PS6 handheld, able to be docked, roughly 2/3 as powerful as a PS5.
- PS6 budget console, same power as the docked handheld.
- PS6 main console, focus on power, definitely more powerful than PS5 Pro.
The handheld and budget versions are supposed to be compatible with PS5 games in some form. Overall, the PS6 will definitely replace the PS5. But the cross-gen factor will be even more important than it already is, the transition period will probably be even longer than during the PS4 to PS5 transition and there will be backwards compatibility it seems, which is great.
As for myself, I'm definitely interested in the dockable handheld. My favorite PlayStation so far has been the PSP and I love hybrids. Embrace the choice, PS fans. Portability is amazing and adds way more value than it deducts by "holding back" graphics.
