r/ps6

Just in from their Investor meeting: Responding to questions, Sony president and CEO Hiroki Totoki explained that the rising costs for vital components like RAM would have an impact on its PS6 plans. "We have not yet decided on at what timing we will launch the new console, or at what prices,"

Totoki said during the call. "We would like to really observe and follow the situation. Looking at the current circumstances, the memory price is also expected to be very high in the Financial Year 2027, because there will still be a shortage of supply. So under that assumption, we must think carefully about what we will do."

i sold my steam deck oled for $750 and i've come to terms that i really want a ps5 pro for gta 6. i have a powerful pc already (5070ti 9800x3d 32gb) but i wanna play gta 6 day one.

does the ps5 pro ever go on sale? perhaps back to it's original price? i read something about a yearly event during july? is it likely that the console will go on sale for $750?

So let me see if I’ve got this right, this handheld will be an all digital console, capable of running PS4, PS5, and PS6 games. It would basically be the Xbox Series S of the generation, meaning it would receive continued support and run slightly downgraded versions of PS6 games. Doesn’t that sound amazing? The main problem with current PC handhelds is how expensive they are, and how annoying they can be to use due to Windows. Not to mention that most games are developed with consoles in mind first and foremost, so they are not properly optimized, and you can't be sure a new game 5 years from now will be playable on it or not. A PS6 handheld wouldn’t have to deal with those issues and could deliver properly optimized games, and certainty that every new game released in the generation will be supported. Having to pay for online aside, this honestly sounds like the PS6 handheld could become the ultimate handheld console.

I recently retired and we are 4 months away from my wife semi-retiring. Now that she has started having more free time, one of my lifelong dreams came true — my wife gamed with me. She is now playing Cyberpunk 2077 and we have a multiplayer game of BG3 going… on PC.

Yesterday, she asked me about GTA6. I told her about GTA and showed her an old saved game of GTA5 and then showed her Red Dead Redemption 2. She had me keep playing RDR2 for two hours, stunned by the plot, the graphics, and how beautiful and peaceful it was riding a horse across the landscape. Now she wants to play RDR2 next… and she wants to play GTA6.

I told her it will be console only and we’d have to wait for the PC release in a year or so. Well apparently that stuck with her because she asked me today if I was planning on buying a console for Christmas so I could play it sooner and I said ai was thinking about it. She said she wanted that to be her present to me. 🥰

She wants to know if there will be a bundle she can wishlist or if she should just get a PlayStation Pro now and buy the game when it comes out. And told her there isn’t a bundle yet but with Trailer 3 due any day now, we could have the be drop soon.

Should she buy me the PS Pro now and add the game later or wait for a bundle?

Seriously, I dont think people will care about 120+ fps or path tracing, or ai upscaling etc the ps5 and especially ps5 pro already perform and look very nice for majority of games, why would people dish out likely 1000$ to get better lighting, frames and resolution other than enthusiastic gamers who don't have a PC?

How will PS6 sell when its likely to have no exclusives? It takes naughty dog over 7 years now to make one game lol they are putting all their money into trash live service (horizon hunter gathering, marathon, concord, fairgame$) instead of making real exclusives like jak, twisted metal, LPB, and many other forgotten IPs. This push for live service tarnished Playstation reputation for having must play exclusives.

All Sony has is innovating the controller and Ui? Tell me, what games can truly be exclusive to PS6 that PS5 is incapable of running? Seeing PS5 will have 100 million sold units, why would any company make a PS6 exclusive? It'll have to be Elden ring 2 as an exclusive to push units lmao

As a new player towards the PlayStation ecosystem which one should I invest in to play

PS4

Ps5

Or should I wait for the ps6

Ps4 games would be cool to play with PlayStation console but I’m not sure which one to pick

I feel like buying a ps5 rn would be not worth it if the ps6 will be coming out in 2027 or 2028

Today 1GB of GDDR7 costs $18-22, if Sony goes for 30GB of GDDR7 that will be $400-$450 from RAM alone. That's more than the entire launch price of the PS5 digital.

Maybe a quarter or less of people who will want to buy a ps6 will be able to afford it. i think the only way to launch the PS6 is with a payment plan. if it costs $800 (subsidized) that could be:

24 months: $33/month
36 months: $22/month
48 months: $16/ month

would you be happy to pay that?

I would happily go for a monthly plan if they threw in PS Plus (especially for the handheld)

What really caught my attention was the part about Sony potentially “changing business models.”

That could mean a lot of things:

• Longer console generations
• More expensive hardware
• Subscription-style consoles
• Multiple PS6 tiers
• Bigger push toward digital/cloud gaming
• Less focus on selling consoles at a loss

Feels like the traditional console model might be hitting a wall. Hardware is getting insanely expensive to make, development costs are exploding, and companies now make so much money from subscriptions, MTX, and digital sales that the actual console itself almost feels secondary.

Part of me wonders if PS5/Series X might end up being the last “normal” console generation.

Of course i dont mean 4k240hz i mean that the console will be able to output 240hz since i dont think there will be a resolution upgrade, we will still be at 4k.. if this console can hit 240hz in fps this is all people need..

Just like how the PlayStation five has haptic triggers I think it would be cool. If like you’re walking through mud or something that the analog stick had tension back.

As the title suggests, a lot of talk has been about the PS6 using AI extensively.
Now AI is pretty controversial at the moment, so what are some opinions about the use of it in the new console?

So the PS6 is going to be digital only but I haven’t heard anything but a leak. I wonder if it means no hard copies and no attachable disc drive.

I was just curious if there has been any mention of this. I checked the sub and didn't see anything mentioned here.

Just wondering if one reason (aside from the various materiel cost increases) to raise the price was the anticipation of the huge demand for GTAVI.

Consoles should aim for insane hardware innovation rather than insane hardware specs, also PS7 handheld would be like... PS6 level power so who cares by that point in terms of tech specs?
