Sony has yet to announce a release date for the PlayStation 6, but a reader writing in to Metro's Games Inbox believes ongoing memory shortages could prevent the next-generation console from launching in 2027. The reader argued that rising hardware costs could force Sony to delay the system until at least 2028.
The comments come amid growing uncertainty around Sony's plans for its next console. Sony President and CEO Hiroki Totoki has said the company has yet to decide when or at what price it will launch its next console, while warning that memory prices are expected to remain high during fiscal 2027 because of supply shortages.
