Sony’s PlayStation 6 might be further away than expected
Reports suggest Sony's PlayStation 6 launch could be delayed to 2028 or 2029, deviating from the traditional seven-year console cycle. This potential delay is attributed to the high demand for DRAM components driven by the artificial intelligence industry, which is creating scarcity and driving up costs for consumer electronics. The extended lifecycle for the PlayStation 5 may allow developers more time to create games for the current generation.
