@itstherespawn: Sony CEO Hiroki Totoki has confirmed the PS6 still doesn't have a release date, telling the Wall Street Journal that a widely expected 2027 launch looks increasingly unlikely. Consoles typically arrive on a seven-year cycle, which would have pointed to a late 2027 window following the PS5's 2020 launch, but Totoki didn't commit to any timeline. He pointed to surging demand for memory chips and other components driven largely by AI data centers, alongside broader trade tensions, saying, "we need to take some action. Otherwise, we cannot survive in this landscape." Some analysts have gone further, suggesting the PS6 could slip all the way to 2028 or 2029 as chipmakers prioritize AI-driven demand over consumer hardware. Sony has reportedly secured enough components to keep PS5 production going through the rest of 2026, positioning it to carry the platform through GTA 6's November launch. For now, anyone hoping for a PS6 reveal in the near future may be waiting longer than expected. #sony #gaming #playstation #news
