The key to PS6's success should be high production efficiency. Leaks indicate that the new console is being designed with maximum cost optimization in mind, which will allow setting a base price below $900. Moreover, thanks to the reduction of the chip die, PS6 will be significantly more compact than the massive starting model of PS5.
Sony aims for a smooth transition of the entire user base from PS4 and PS5 to the new device, which requires a reasonable pricing policy, not "luxury" price tags. For those who have not yet purchased a PS5, now may be the worst time to buy. Investing almost $1000 in technology whose life cycle is nearing its end seems risky when a more productive successor is looming on the horizon.
Although some analysts predict a price of around $1000 for the "six," Moore’s Law is Dead claims: Sony has learned from recent increases and will offer a cheaper and more productive device.
