PS6 could cost nearly $1,000 USD just to produce
A leaker suggests the PlayStation 6 could cost nearly $1,000 USD to produce due to rising component prices, particularly for RAM and SSDs driven by the AI boom. Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Hideaki Nishino indicated that the company may not absorb all increased costs, implying higher retail prices for future consoles. This trend is also impacting sales of current-generation consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
