It's still very doable. They could just repurpose the PS6P handheld chip and put it into a console shell. As long as it performs similarly to a PS5, you've got 50 million right there easy because Xbox will not have any product with mass market price point. Only competitor will be Switch 2 and performance wise it will beat that easily 

You think people are going to buy a console that is basically a PS5, but with only 512GB of storage? Who in their right mind would "upgrade" to this? Sony for decades has cultivated a fanbase that wants the most powerful console on the market. They are not going to entice their fans with "here's another PS5 LOL, go buy the new one for 600$ for no reason". 

You are seriously underestimating the component crisis. It's not about having an appealing console anymore., it's about whether they can make ANYTHING near a mass market price. The PS5 is very big and bulky, and not cost effective to ship or manufacture. Sony will have 0 competition next gen so it doesn't matter if people find it appealing or not. So, i'm pretty sure what they'll do is, just put the "canis" chipset in a small shell like they did with the ps vita TV. It's much cheaper to produce and ship than PS5 due to it's size and simplicity. It's their only option
