Gamers eager for the PlayStation 6 may need to exercise more patience than expected, but the reaction so far has been surprisingly calm. Industry chatter suggests that the next generation of consoles could be pushed beyond its previously rumoured launch window and it isn't of technical or creative hurdles.
Instead, it's due to mounting economic and supply chain pressures. Chief among them is the global shortage of computer memory, driven largely by the continued boom in AI. While delays once sparked frustration, the conversation today feels different. Rising hardware costs, subscription fatigue and underutilised current-gen consoles have shifted expectations.
