Rumors

Next-Gen Consoles Could Be Delayed Due To RAM Prices

According to a recent report from Insider Gaming, citing unspecified sources, console manufacturers are currently debating whether the release of next-gen consoles should be delayed from their original 2027-2028 window due to rising RAM prices. The drastic increase in RAM costs over the past few months, driven by the growing demand for AI data centers and resulting shortages, has raised concerns among tech companies about the impact on console manufacturing. If these trends continue, it’s likely that future consoles will face significant price hikes. However, delaying the release could allow time for stock levels to improve and prices to drop. For now these claims are rumors and should be taken with a grain of salt.

In a past video, Youtuber Moore’s Law is Dead claimed that the upcoming PlayStation 6 console will launch alongside a portable handheld version that will be dockable to an external display similar to a Nintendo Switch. The console will allegedly be capable of running games at a level beyond the base PlayStation 5. The console is codenamed “Canis”, and will reportedly have an AMD APU GPU for Zen 6c Cores with two additional cores for system tasks.

The standard PlayStation 6 console on the other hand will have 16 compute units of RDNA 5 at 1.20GHz while in handheld mode, and around 1.65GHz when docked. The console is also rumored to have PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 backwards compatibility. Both the PlayStation 6 and the PlayStation 6 handheld will reportedly launch sometime between late 2027 to 2028. It’s worth noting that Sony has yet to officially confirm these details.
