Overview
- Hardware leaker Moore's Law Is Dead now expects a late 2027 release for PlayStation 6, with a possible slip to early 2028 and no push to 2029.
- He reports Sony has an allotted TSMC 3 nm production window in Q2 2027 for the console's chip.
- The rationale given is that moving off that window could forfeit priority at TSMC and outweigh the expense of buying RAM at higher prices.
- The updated outlook follows weeks of reports linking potential delays to AI-driven spikes in DRAM and storage costs.
- Sony has not confirmed the timing or manufacturing details, and performance and pricing expectations remain speculative, including 4K/120 fps targets and comparisons to Microsoft's Project Helix.
