Whenever the conversation turns to the (unannounced) PS6, it’s not potential specs or launch games that people seem to want to discuss; it’s the price. The so-called “RAMageddon” has seen the cost of basically all tech items skyrocket, and gaming consoles are very much impacted.
The current-generation PS5 console hasn’t decreased in price over its lifespan, but instead, buying into the PlayStation platform has gotten more expensive. The base PS5 now costs $650 ($499 at launch), while the PS5 Pro is an eye-watering $899 ($699 at launch). This console generation is the first I can recall where launch-day buyers got a better deal than late adopters.
