$700 minimum.
Dont get me wrong, there's been times new consoles come out at a cheaper launch price then previous gens (DC vs Saturn, PS4 vs PS3, surely some others), but the overall trend is the absolute price edges up over time.
Hey you never know, maybe there's a chip price crash and by the time PS6 comes out, it'll be a super high end system at $500-600. Doubt it.

In Sony’s mind the hardcore were having to spend $1000 to get the new Xbox and PlayStation. Now you’re just gonna need to spend $700 on one console, you’re still coming out on top!

You can always get a fire stick and stream games. That's the future after all.

I think that'll be too expensive for the mass market and a lot of people will just choose to stay on their PS5s for longer if that were the case. That would lead to cross-gen going on longer than it ever has before. I could see it being $599 without a disc drive though. And if it's $599 it might psychologically appear to be a decent deal because it'll be cheaper than the PS5 Pro and more powerful.

Highly doubt a new gen which will be more powerful will cost less than old gen with lesser hardware

Calling people stupid for spending their money on what they want, especially when they can more than afford it, is stupid....imo

I made this point earlier in one of the threads... that if it's really going to be 2028 it's either not going to be all that impressive or will be very expensive.
I'm kind of expecting MS's box to be $800.
I think the bigger question is... if the majority of PS5 gamers are playing PS4 GAAS games, is there a need for a PS6?

I think it could be much more than that seeing the price of this pro

Next generation could be a big shake up for MS & Sony. Microsoft stated they're prepping next gen hardware and Phil has all but confirmed a handheld is in the works. I have to imagine Sony is doing something similar. Have an expensive console box for the ultra hardcores and a handheld/hybrid at a more affordable price point for the masses.

PS5 Pro is a product aimed at a high-end niche.
PS6 will be a product aimed at the mainstream console consumer just like the PS5 was. It will be priced accordingly.
People are really getting worked up over a more expensive option.
PS5 Pro is a product designed to sell 8-10m.
PS6 just like PS5 will be designed to sell 100m+

With the death of Xbox, and Nintendo making obsolete hardware, yes.
Sony can and will promote themselves as the premier place to play AAA console games

If so, it will gloriously fails as the PS3 before the price cut.
People buys console for the all-in-on price deal and the use confort before anything else.

I wouldn't rule out something like the Series S.

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
The PS5 costs $500 in 2020, that's more than $600 in today's money.
... but if you add three more years of inflation to this price (since the PS6 will probably release in 2027) the price could go up to $650. And if there's another worldwide crisis like war in the Middle East, US boots on the ground in Ukraine or a war over Taiwan, all bets are off.

If you think the PS6 is going to be a single dollar less than $899.99 dollars, you're out of your GD mind. The PS5 hasn't been that successful at $499.

When I used it at the house it played very well on my WiFi
One of my younger nieces or nephews dropped it and it stopped working and I never replaced it so I didn't get a lot of mileage out of it and didn't love it enough to replace it so theres that
They certainly have the hardware to run AAA, built from the ground up, next gen games, unfortunately, there have been 4 in 4 years.
it actually is a better value to buy a PS4 since everything is getting released there anyway, lol. Don't quote this post crying, those are just facts...
Using PS4 games to promote the SECOND iteration of your next gen Hardware. Embarrassing.

I would expect $599 in 2027. Yes, the PS5 Pro is a hundred bucks more, but it's a halo product, not their base offering. Components will also be cheaper by then, and Sony has usually been willing to lose a little bit of money on the console when they launch a new generation.
Keep in mind adjusted for inflation, the PS5 Pro is cheaper than the PS3 was at it's launch:

Steamdecks are still available. Abandon the console eco systems as soon as you can.
Start building your digital libraries with Steam, Epic, COG.
Also stop renting and don't buy new cars. Don't eat out.
Sock away as much retirement savings as you can.
Good Luck everybody.

exactly. the PS3 was $600, sales were atrocious, they lowered the prices, sales improved and we got the ps4 at $400.
Considering inflation, if the ps5pro has poor sale numbers, they should price the ps6 accordingly. $500 I would say.

Earliest we getting ps6 is holidays 2028, and it has to be somewhat sizeable jump in both cpu and gpu from ps5pr0, vram too, so personally i wouldnt even be surprised with 999$.
MS console that will likely launch in 2026 will be probably akin to some prebuild pc so easily 800$+, likely much more, which means with no competition 0 reason for sony to subsidize consoie price, so since its a corpo that loves money like all corpos, sony will charge hefty amount for it- simply coz they can.

Inflation, everyones buying phones for 1500 USD, bla bla bla it will be expensive by todays standards. People are still gonna buy it, just like everyone happily traded his right to own games for a little more convenience.

I don't really see why it would. Next gen you are likely looking at two models again, the base and the pro a few years later. Assuming the prices don't really reduce (like they haven't this gen), a $700 base would probably result in a $900 pro, etc.
You risk losing a lot of customers with pricing like that.

2 models dont work, exhibit A- this gen's series s/x, it always end up badly.

Going by many of the posts in the forum some people would argue Sony would even be doing the world a favour.
Just sets for a bad precedent for allow arrogant Sony to do whatever they want

Might have to if they don't think a $699+ base console would work.
Base PS5 cost more than ps4 pro tho. What do you mean?
(Ps4 pro had a disc drive, that was $400. The ps5 equivalent with a disc drive was/is $500)
