I don't think the PC thing has been confirmed. But I suppose it might make sense if they want to make the PS6 more attractive with games that only exist on it.

Depends on the used PS5 prices at PS6 launch

If they can sell that old console without warranty for $500+ or $600+, their effective costs for the new console (99% compatible, at least twice as fast, PSSR3 support, fresh warranty) would be $400 - $500... not a bad investment for the next 4 - 8 years until new hardware launches.

Talking about for the "PS5" lol

I disagree.

Games nowdays are easily scalable, which means it doesn't need to be developed with many hard limitations on mind so it can run on a weaker hardware.

PS5 even has an insanely fast SSD, you could scale an excellent and massive PS6 game down to fit on it while having that PS6 version realised as good as possible.

We have an excellent example of it for years now, Gran Turismo 7.

It's a crossgen game with the PS4 (much harder to scale down than the PS5 will be) and the PS5 version is still insane on the PS5. To the point it has better looking cars than the Xbox Series X exclusive Forza Motorsport (8), which released more than 1 year after GT7 and one a stronger hardware.

Horizon Foribidden West is also one of the best looking PS5 games and has a PS4 version.

Only God of War Ragnarok wasn't a really big jump, but to me it's clear they choose to reuse a lot of the same assets in the same engine rather than they had to scale the game down because of the PS4 version, that was likely an business decision because the result was already so good on PS4 (God of War (4) looks better than Horizon Zero Dawn) rather than a necessary decision as proved by Gran Turismo 7 and Horizon Forbidden West.

Now imagine the PS5 being the "limitation"... yeah, I'm not worried in the slightest, PS6 games will either be fully realised experiences day one, or they'll choose to save costs (as people have been asking so studios don't need to be closed down if the game doesn't sell 10M copies) and be better PS5 games for that reason.

I don't see the tech on PS6 games being limited by the very likely PS5 versions existing, at all.

Woah I completely missread it as the PS6 as the conversation here in the last pages was about its possible pricing, lol, sorry.

I am just wondering how long it will take for prices to go down if/when memory prices go down.

Between 2028 - 2030. Prices are expected to go up this year apparently. 

Time for some more competition on the market. Not as powerful as a PS5 or as versatile as a Switch2. Priced at $350, but perfectly capable of running the following type of games: Fortnight, Apex Legends, FIFA, Madden, Ghenshin Impact and such. Could see a market disrupter right there.

In all seriousness with all the prices rises, what could you honestly give a consumer for $350? It would have to be a company with a tremendous amount of money; it certainly is not going to be google.

Your console is at home, your phone is with you and half the population on this planet feels the need to show people around them what they own. 

Most don't need the expensive iPhones or cars and they are also above their budget (my brother sees that every day working at Audi when people come for a few k car repair and can barely afford it while the car was like 100k lol)

There's a reason why so many people buy fake Versace or Balenciaga (for every real Balenciaga you probably see 10 people with a fake one here in Europe at least)

The PS just sits at home and only a few people will ever see it. That alone is a reason why people don't see the worth in it but they see it in an iPhone Pro Max while they just use it to scroll threw Tik Tok at McDonald's
