I say that's a very good call to hold off on releasing any bait articles. IMO I don't see any reason to report this rumor until it is confirmed (unless its coming from a highly reputable source such as Jason from Bloomberg or NateTheHate2), especially when we'll find out the definitive answer as soon as tomorrow. All these fake stories do is create a wave of sensationalism and bolster the doom-and-gloom which plagues online discourse.
Anyhow, I'm not gonna jump to any conclusions. Best to keep a level head and wait for an official announcement from Sony. If they do end up pursuing this price hike, then yeah, there is no doubt that PS6 is releasing next Fall. This would almost certainly send PS5 sales figures back in line with PS4's in 2019. (It would also explain why Sony was going so crazy with discounts during Fall last year— maybe a contract renewal or something is forcing an increase in the cost of PS5 chips.)
