I could be wrong, but I don't see anything less than $900 even being remotely possible.  Not unless prices plummet.

The S2 is $500 with 12 gb of ram.  The ps6 will need at least 30 gb.  

This is especially true if the news report I read a couple days ago is correct.

I'm there, they said that investors are shunning Nintendo because apparently even a $100 price hike could be not enough anymore to not sell the console at a loss.

In other words, this would mean that a Switch 2 would need to sell at $600 to ensure profitability of the console itself, and the PS6 will be much more expensive to produce than a a switch 2.

In fact, I'm mostly worried about the handheld variant of the PS6, as it's rumoured to come with a high-performance chip and 24GB of RAM, I don't see that one being sold at anything less than $600 already, and that would be selling at a considerable loss.

The outlook, unfortunately, is very bleak, with no easy solutions.

I guess the good news is PC, S2 and ps5 will all have their life spans extended?
