What should Sony do for the next Playstation?

Vita TV in Japan cost a $100~ dollar less than the standard Vita was at the time (which cost $200~ from Feb 2013 following a $50-$100 pricedrop. The good ol' pricecut days).

A $100+ cheaper "PS6P TV" is on the cards and will make a difference in sales, nothing massive mind you but it should help. The problem would be logistics. It might be too much of a headache to have many SKU's launched, and this is ignoring disc drive bundles.

They'd also have to make DualSense fully compatible with the PS6.

PS6 Lite can be $200 less than the PS6 Handheld if SNY really wants to bring most PS4 owners over and if they really really want to try and grow the brand overall with new players. Look what a $399 PS4 did, and the economy was well into recovery and decent at that point, with a relatively strong XB brand still. Imagine what a $399-$499 PS6 Lite next holiday could do.

SNY could launch the PS6 Lite and PS6 Handheld late 2027, and then launch the main PS6 about 3 years later, which they'd probably have to name PS6 Pro then. They could also launch all 3 at once, but then they'd almost have to sell digital only SKU's so as to have a streamlined launch. Obviously they'd want to offer a disc drive attachment, and/or hopefully you'd be able to detach and transfer your old PS5 Slim disc drive and use it for your PS6.
