Sony’s PlayStation 6 Might Be Further Away than You Hoped
Sony may delay PlayStation 6 launch to 2028 or 2029 due to a global DRAM shortage driven by AI companies competing for limited memory chips.
- Bloomberg reports Sony is considering pushing back the PlayStation 6 debut to 2028 or 2029, corroborating earlier warnings of a possible multi-year delay.
- Amid a global DRAM shortage, prices rose since late last year as OpenAI and Alphabet Inc. bought memory for AI data centres, increasing supply competition.
- If released in 2029, the PlayStation 5 would remain on sale for nine years, exceeding the typical seven-year console generation timing.
- Nintendo has warned it may reevaluate the Switch 2's price next financial year, and Microsoft might aim to launch its next Xbox before a delayed PS6, reports say.
- The worldwide memory shortage looks set to raise video game hardware prices for years and shift next-generation consoles beyond 2027, delaying usual release patterns.
