It will be cheaper than ps5 pro. After all, they want to sell some of it.
PS5 was more than ps4 pro tho

Thanks, will probably skip it then. Maybe they'll actually make a proper handheld at some pointWhen 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

inflation alone by holidays 2028 will make it expensive af, and sony have to offer generational leap vs base ps5 at least, that guarantees ps6 will cost pretty penny =D

Yes of course, but it didn't have an extreme price jump like the ps5 pro.
No, not just Sony. But Sony goes the extra mile of charging for a stand

I mean, no one knows for sure, but I would bet a lot of money that yes the PS6 will be $700.

That's not an "extra mile". The stand isn't even needed. Mine is standing up just fine without it.

For the disk drive.

The way things are going, it really won't.
I think it'll be $600 and the ps6 pro will be $800. The base model staying low and the way more premium 'pro' refresh at mid gen makes sense. They're not trying to price people out of their ecosystem.
The dlssr equivalent will allow them to keep the specs close to the ps5pro, as that gets better, the raw power need comes down. It'll have an updated AI chip, a big CPU upgrade, very minor GPU bump. No change to ssd.
It won't be a big overhaul like the 4-5 was.
E: I do think they'll sell the disk drive separately though, we are probably locked in with that bullshit.

I mean.....that's the world we live in. Us gamers on message board complaining about it are a very small group and probably have a small influence on the way Sony operates.
Plus, price and value are subjective. You personally vote with your wallet and hope you get enough people like you to do the same. But because people don't do the opposite does not relegate them to being stupid.
I bought a Portal because I can more than afford it, and it has been of great value to me. I play on it probably 70% of the time vs my PS5......so being called stupid is quite offensive.

Who knows I think it will depend a lot on the market\economy at the time. A lot can change in 3-4 years. On top of that I'm not so sure Sony is as interested or worried about getting people into the new gen anymore. I suspect cross gen games will be the norm from here on out and Sony will jsut be worried about
I’ve never understood why there’s the perception that gaming is supposed to be immune from the concept of inflation.
Not only has the cost of games and the cost of games hardware been consistently below the rate of inflation, with subscriptions it’s ostensibly cheaper now to play games than it has ever been, and not by a small margin. Meanwhile the cost of development has skyrocketed.

If we count cost of disk attachment, for sure. Maybe $700 just for Digital Edition.

Inflation is down to almost 2% in most Western countries. If anything it’s generally lower on consumer electronics side, but will depend on fab availability.
That said, yeah, I could see $700.

I'm that stupid. I also bought PS portal.

Obviously not. Pro is considered a premium product for those who whish to play on console but that want a bit more grunt while technology advances. PS6 will be priced as usual, maybe 550, if the semiconductor situation will continue. But it will surely be still on a mass market price.

Doubt it. I'm thinking $600 max.

Im an european, and here ps5pr0 is exactly 2x more expensive from discless base ps5 from launch.
45% stronger gpu, 10% oced same zen2 cpu, ofc 2x bigger ssd but still, price increase in 4 years alone is literally double, and now add another 4 years, which inflation wise very likely gonna be worse (u can see world economy is in the gutter, basically no middle class anymore and ppl living paycheck to paycheck even in 1st world countries).
And rememeber one more thing, ps5pr0 to ps6 will or at least should be much bigger jump than ps5 to pr0, bare minimum we expect is much stronger and newer cpu(zen 6?) more vram, and way bigger jump in gpu power than that tiny +45% pr0 got, it wont come cheaply

Huh? I was talking about the day one unit and the pro model, Sony has done that two generations in a row if I'm not mistaken.

Then i agree ofc, sorry for missunderstanding.

So everyone who uses handhelds and remote play must be stupid now. Got it.
Yes so that the price can go down to 500$ after two years.
The age of sub 500€ high end consoles at launch is done, the cost of electronics don't support the old prices anymore unless the companies are willing to take significant losses. They won't, the potential loss in console sales will be offset by the expansion to PC.

They’re banking on MS dropping out of the hardware race, then they will do exactly that with no one to stop them

It will be $600 and Sony not only will get more from consumers but be called hero's.
Won't happen. The big money lies in the ecosystem, and you want to keep the entry point as low as possible.
Digital PS6 for a maximum of 599 or PlayStation goes bananas.
