Which version of PS6 would you buy (based on leaks)?

Which version(s)

It's too soon to know for sure, but currently - none of them. Considering how awesome the PS4 library is, and how much I enjoy physical games, I decided PS5 Pro is my endgame PlayStation console with its flawless BC deep library. Same reason I have a Switch 2. I have very little faith in next gen right now.
 
If Sony seriously decides to go the Series S, and handheld route, then I will be fully and strictly PC gamer.

Fuck off with that handheld, weak console trash. Make 1 real machine and call it a day. Release a PRO version later.

And all of a sudden making an "S" Version of the next PS console will be a great idea.

It's still a terrible idea, but MS sold enough units to show that there's a market for a cheap console so now we're stuck with it and I'm assuming that they're just trying to pick up the market that MS is leaving behind. The only real positive of this is that the full fat console ought to run everything at 60-120fps with graphic features at full if the Canis is the baseline.

Isn't it funny.

You know when I came here 11 months ago, and I said;

'I'll drink everyone's cum on this entire forum if it breaks the 8m mark.'

You all laughed at me.

Well I have to say, you're not laughing now are you?

You claimed ps5 pro wouldn't sell 8 million units in one year? Or someone else did? Seems like an easy bet to win and not be guzzling?

It shares same specs because it's just a super cheap version for super cheap audience that will target around fullHD gaming with cut down framerates.
It will not be main target console, it's less powerfull than even PS5 and it's huge compromise to play it on a big screen tv.

And people are going to pay $400 for this potato in a couple of years? Versus using their ps5?

In which universe series S is a success?
If anything it helped to make xbox series to become a completely failure, together with gamepass

Series s had a lifeline due to ps5 and series x shortages. Many settled for at least "something" next gen versus maybe paying beyond retail for a ps5. And then when they went to $150 for any Verizon subscriber etc years ago...

But ultimately it meant xbox developers could never target and optimize for the Series x because they always had the series s parity clause holding them back.

Actually it hasn't shown that all. Series hardware sales have flatlined. Barely outsold the og xbox. Series s has been very cheap multiple times in its lifecycle. Same with series x tho it only dropped to $350 versus series s firesales.

I don't disagree that it was a failure in general, but even as shitty as MS was with the X-BOne generation they still sold 20mill something units. I'd be willing to bet Sony could move at least 40-50m of them if the price is right, but it will cannibalize sales of the Orion console. I also wouldn't be surprised if they didn't do a Pro next gen if the Canis is the baseline there's just no need and they can save money on that R&D.

Is there a reason for so much talk about a new gen when it's only coming in like 2 and half or 3 and half years from now?

Yes, because it's neither. There's only 2 years and 2 months left.

Are these leaks legit? That 36GB of RAM on PS6S Canis console which supposedly will retail for an MSRP between $249 - $399 is kinda a lot.

Anyways, I'll go with the full fat PS6 (Orion) and probably pick up the handheld a year or two later.

RAM and MSRP (and the existence of the Canis home console itself) are guesses, but most of the rest is legit.
 
I was leaning towards the portable version, but I realized it'll probably be all digital so now I'm not sure.

Normal or Pro maybe, if at all.

PS6 Orion, I don't really like portable devices, it's going to be funny to see people who have been defending the Series S burden all generation now complaining about different configurations, in fact they're already doing so xDD, PS canis will also be a burden if Sony makes game sharing with PS6 mandatory.
 
Base for me. I don't play anything handheld anymore, and Pro consoles haven't showed me enough of a boost to warrant the extra cost. I'll be just fine with 60fps and 1080p or 4k.
 
if they go day one on PC by then i'll probably pick up a PS6 lite to replace my og ps5 providing its smaller and looks better. if they dont go day 1 pc then ill probably get the proper ps6 but depends on the price
 
Handheld for me. I probably never buy another PlayStation home console again. What's the point except slightly better graphics?

Also from me a big plus of the Handheld would be a VRR screen as long as the screen is of decent quality.

Isn't VRR more of a giant HDTV selling point than a handheld one?

People tend to be less sensitive about IQ in general on handhelds.

Edit: For instance, Switch 2 has VRR, and the extreme vast majority of games just don't use it or run a locked framerate in portable mode.

I think we should stop calling it a PS6 handheld. It's a PS5 handheld; it won't play PS6 games natively. It'll probably be able to stream PS6 games from a PS6 though. As for the PS6 itself. I seriously doubt it will launch with 2 versions. It'll just be the base PS6, then the PS6 Pro 3-4 years later. Why would they make you choose between 2 systems when they can get you to buy both of them.

So that's my prediction for posterity: A PS5 handheld that streams PS6 games and only one base PS6 model at launch with a Pro model released a few years later.
 
For now none of them .. Sony still haven't justified my purchase of the Pro and their premium studios are all more interested in gaas and/or knitting classes than making cutting edge great single player games that they once did. On top of that they might be going full third party with early PC releases.

So for now have ZERO reasons to consider buying a PS6..they have time to change my mind.. I doubt it though

Diminishing returns.. the ps5 pro is barely better than base ps5 (I have both), specially with the low effort support is getting from third party and even some second party partner.

With the probably already expensive (599-699) ps6 the diminished return from a even more expensive ps6pro is posed to be even bigger.

Speaking for myself... if they launched a ps6 and a ps6 pro from the beginning I might consider buying the pro right away when I decide to upgrade...but Im definitely not buying two consoles ever again like I did for ps4/pro and ps5/pro.

Ps5 games will be made well into the ps6 gen so i don't see it as a big deal anyway.

The PS5 has the worst line up of all Playstation generations.

If Sony doesn't rely on physical media for the next generation, I'll switch to a PC. A PC with a Ryzen 9800X3D and the next UDNA high-end graphics card will certainly beat the PS7/Pro.
 
Base home console and portable console. I never had the patience to wait for a Pro console, and when they were released didn't offer me enough to upgrade.

If they'd release the Pro at launch I'd probably get the Pro instead if not too expensive.

Physical game sales have been decreasing this and the previous generation, to a point that when PS6 releases will be almost zero. The game sales have been shifting to digital, and game revenue has been shifting from game sales to gamesubs and specially addons.

Meaning, pretty likely the next gen the physical game sales won't be a profitable business, maybe unless they're only a download code in a box, or a game code card.

How many people have a VRR TV?

But I was more thinking about the PS5 games that have a stable 60fps framerate that could drop frames on the handheld. We could even dream of having freesync on this thing instead of (HDMI) VRR.
