PlayStation 5 is Sony’s latest console, which debuted in November 2020. The console offers impressive computing power, fast game loading and support for 4K resolution.
However, some gamers are already starting to wonder what will come with PlayStation 6, the next generation of consoles due to arrive in a few years. Unfortunately, according to some experts, the PS6, like other next-generation consoles, may be a disappointment in terms of performance or price.

According to a well-known Kepler informant, who specializes in AMD, a manufacturer of processors and graphics cards, especially for Sony consoles, PlayStation 6 may have a smaller performance increase than PlayStation 5 compared to previous generations.
Cost per transistor has remained flat through FinFETs and will go up with GAAFETs/CFETs.
The days of free cost savings with die shrinks is over and things will only get worse.
Future consoles will either have increasingly smaller performance gains or significantly higher prices

The reason for this is that the cost of producing chips increases with each technological leap, which means that console makers must either limit their size and power or increase the price of the hardware. Kepler claims that the PlayStation 6 could cost up to $800 if Sony decides to increase performance.
This is not good news for fans who are counting on another great leap in quality in games. However, this does not mean that PlayStation 6 will be a weak console. Sony can compensate for lower computing power by focusing on innovative accessories and features – for example, using the capabilities of the Dualsense pad is a good example. The company could follow in the footsteps of Nintendo, which has stopped counting in the “power race” for several years, focusing on innovation and an interesting idea. Which was a good move, considering the Switch’s sales results.
PlayStation 6 is only speculation and rumors for now, so you shouldn’t worry too much about it. Sony certainly has its vision and strategy for the future, and PlayStation 5 still has a lot to offer. It is not known when PlayStation 6 will appear, but it is expected that it will be no earlier than 2027-2028.
