Maybe, maybe not. Who saw the pandemic coming, or 2 weeks becoming 2 years, or the quick retreat from the new normal back to the old normal?

PS6 Lite would not be anything close to what PS5 was at launch in terms of performance.

$399 late 2013 is about $575 today. That was mid tier hardware. PS6 Lite would be low tier hardware (with mid-high tier software tech).

$499 seems quite doable without a loss. $399 would likely require around a $100 loss per unit at launch.

If you're expecting inflation to stop or a $399 PS6 you're in for a very rude awakening.

It feels like you've mind your mind up on this, so at this point there's really nothing left to say except wait and see.

Possibly, but if you're expecting PS6 to be $700+, then we're in for another PS3rd console curse, part deux.

So which scenario is worse, or does SNY just hold off until 2029/2030 and redesign all the hardware?
