I hear you and see both sides. But the ps6 cannot be weaker than the ps5, which costs money. I think all their games will be cross generation and the ps6 will be a ps5 pro pro. I don't see any other solution until prices come down. The ram in my computer was $130 three years ago, now it is $450. My M2 storage was $250 and now is $550... Sony is in a difficult position. |
The challenge is inevitable but there are ways to mitigate it, and prices might (hopefully) go down within 2 years.
PS5 Pro is intended to be sold to a small enthusiast playerbase at a profit. Whereas PS6, if it's anything like its predecessors, may be intended as a 80 million+ selling console, so they should be able to secure components at cheaper prices relative to their default value. They should also sell it at a loss or a minimal profit. Slashing storage capacity from 2TB on the Pro down to 1TB or lower should help reduce costs too.
