Summary
Analysts say Sony could push the next PlayStation launch to 2028 or 2029, extending the PS5 generation beyond the usual seven-year console cycle.
High RAM and memory prices are driving the rethink, with Sony facing a choice between absorbing higher manufacturing costs, cutting components or raising the console's retail price.
A PlayStation 6 priced closer to $900 than $600 could weaken launch demand, especially if buyers can still rely on the PS5 and its game library.
Sony is also expected to keep supporting PS5 well into the next generation, meaning a 2026 buyer could still get years of use even if PS6 arrives late.
