Any PS6 release date remains unconfirmed, but former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida says Sony should keep the current console generation running longer. His comments came during a 28 September episode of The Vergecast, where he linked next-generation timing to rising hardware costs. Sony has not announced a product called PlayStation 6 or set a launch window.

The news came after Sony Group said higher memory prices were increasing manufacturing costs and could affect console adoption if passed on to buyers. The company also said it had made no decision on the timing or pricing of its next-generation platform.
