PlayStation 6 Could Slip Beyond 2027 as RAM Costs Push Next Gen Out
Analyst David Gibson predicts the PlayStation 6 may be delayed far beyond the 2027/2028 window due to high RAM prices and broader economic pressures, with a launch possibly pushed to 2029/2030 or later. Sony is expected to extend the PS5 lifecycle rather than rush a new generation, as price inflation becomes a persistent near‑term factor. The piece contrasts this with Nintendo’s Switch 2 launch and warns that delaying new hardware could be preferable to releasing an expensive, underwhelming upgrade.
