Rumors continue for a late 2027 launch for the PS6. I guess we'll see soon enough if the PS5 reveal timeline is anything to go by.

I'm still in the camp that believes Holiday 2028 is the earliest Sony should launch regardless of component prices. It matches up with Sony ending disc production in Jan 2028, meaning all digital PS6 from the start, rather than printing physical games for the PS6 for a couple of months before stopping completely. It helps their first party studios re-align with the generation development lifecycle after COVID disrupted them for a year and a half. And it helps build enthusiasm for the general audience that will somewhat combat the sticker shock that many are expecting these machines to launch at.

I could see Microsoft wanting to launch next year after how poorly this generation has went for them, but that is essentially a non factor for Sony at this point.
