In anticipation of GTA VI's release, many players face a dilemma: invest in the current generation or wait? Insider Moore's Law is Dead suggests the latter. According to him, Sony is already preparing the ground for the transition to PS6, and the giant's strategy is based on creating more affordable "hardware" than the current Pro model.
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.
