PS6 Faces a Prolonged Memory Crunch That Could Delay It for a Decade

A global memory shortage tied to AI-driven demand could push Sony’s PS6 beyond its 2027 target, with Phison CEO Pua Khein-Seng warning the crunch could last up to 10 years and affect devices from phones to consoles. He argues AI GPUs requiring large SSDs could consume a significant portion of NAND capacity, driving prices higher. Sony says it has secured components through 2026, but the outlook beyond that remains uncertain, leaving a PS6 delay plausible even if some still expect a launch around the current window.

PS6 Rumor: Hybrid GPU Approach, Not Full RDNA 5

Insider Gaming reports that Sony’s upcoming PS6 may not use AMD’s RDNA 5 GPU in full, instead delivering a hybrid RDNA1-based design with ray tracing.

A launch window around 2027 or later is possible, with AMD signaling a 2027 timeframe for the next Xbox as context but no firm date.

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.
