Leak Points to Sony Holding 2027–Early 2028 PS6 Window Despite RAM Shortage

The claim centers on a reported Q2 2027 TSMC 3nm allocation that would be costly for Sony to forfeit.

Overview

  • Hardware leaker Moore’s Law Is Dead, cited by multiple outlets, says Sony has secured TSMC 3nm production for Q2 2027 and is unlikely to push PS6 to 2029.
  • The leak argues delaying the console would cost more than absorbing higher GDDR7 prices driven by the current memory squeeze.
  • A modest shift into early 2028 is described as possible, with manufacturing starting in 2027 to build inventory before final assembly.
  • A final production and launch timing decision is expected in early 2027, and none of the details have been confirmed by Sony.
  • Rising DRAM costs are linked to AI data‑center demand, which outlets report is tightening supply and pressuring component pricing across the industry.
