What should Sony do for the next Playstation?

TVs are not consoles. Look at phones, PC components, Xbox Series, Switch 2.

Memory costs multiple times what it cost a year ago, plus there's tariffs, the war in Iran, and crippling inflation.

PS6 at $400 is a pipe dream, you'll be lucky if the base model is under $700.

Who said TV's were consoles? TV's are consumer electronics.

Nin always sells hardware for a decent profit. They also only increased prices $50 and not $100 like SNY did. MS don't get the same deals SNY do for mass manufacturing, especially based on unit sales.

Maybe a pipe dream late 2027, perhaps, but I've also said I could see a year delay for PS6 (assuming the hardware remains as leaked).

PS6 selling well is a pipe dream if it costs $700+

It's unlikely things will be drastically better in 2028; even if the Iran War and the memory crunch are over by then, and neither is certain, inflation won't be reversed; $500 in 2020 is nearly $650 today, and that number will be even higher by 2028.
