Leaked PS6 Plan Envisions Three Models and a $350–$1,000 Price Range

Pricing is inferred from a leaker's bill-of-materials estimate tied to tariff risk.

Overview

  • Moore's Law is Dead, in a video posted Friday, modeled a PlayStation 6 bill of materials at about $743, using that parts list to frame likely retail pricing.
  • The leak outlines three devices for the next generation: a lower-cost PS6 S (or Lite), a PS6 handheld, and a full PS6 console.
  • Chip assignments in the report point to AMD's 3nm Canis silicon for the Lite and the handheld, with a more powerful Orion APU slated for the main console.
  • Estimated price bands run roughly $349–$549 for the Lite, $499–$699 for the handheld, and $699–$999 for the full console, with a modeled 30% tariff pushing the high end near $949–$1,000.
  • The analysis flags DRAM as the biggest cost driver and keeps the expected launch window at late 2027 to early 2028, while stressing that Sony has not confirmed these plans.
