Have you ever skipped systems from your preferred console maker, and if so which and why?

You are most optimistic than I am.  I hope to be wrong, and very well could, but I would be stunned if the ps6 isn't $800.  

The ps5 is roughly a 6700xt, the ps6 needs to be targeting a 7800xt to have a large leap?  I mean that is a $600+ GPU straight up.  I think anything less than 32 gb of ram is a terrible idea, so add another $400..  still need a PSU, CPU, MB, case, storage, etc.  I get Sony will get better pricing, but I don't see how they could possibly stay anywhere near $600.  

I do think the AI price hike will be considerably better by November 2028, when I expect the PS6 to release. That plus Sony actually having to try to sell it, so they need to hold the price as much as they can, makes be believe $700 is a decent possibility.

I think the PS6 should be $600 max, that's what I would be betting at if we never had this ridiculous price hike we are going through, so I still hope it is possible, but I really can't say its more than just hope right now.

The wild card is upscaling and potentially frame generation.  If they can get AI to work well, they can reduce raw power and lean into lower rendering specifications.  Having said that, I find upscaling via DLSS to be amazing, Frame Generation is god awful.
