Sony might make PS6 — PlayStation's next-gen console — very expensive at launch.
In a chat with GamesBeat977 Archives multiple prominent games industry analysts, including Circana's Mat Piscatella and Midia Research's Rhys Elliott, expect a theoretical PlayStation 6 to cost around $600, whenever it comes out, though that likely won't be anytime soon.
Sony is about to release the $700 PS5 Pro in November, and these analysts believe the huge price tag on that mid-generation update console is a sort of trial balloon for more expensive consoles in the future.
For reference, the OG PS5 launched at $400 without a disc drive and $500 with a disc drive in 2020, so a $600 PS6 would indeed be an escalation for an entry-level machine.

The internet raised torches and pitchforks when the PS5 Pro price was announced a couple of weeks ago, but perhaps more relevant to this discussion is what happened when Sony originally revealed the price of the PlayStation 3 in 2006. The phrase "five hundred and ninety-nine U.S. dollars" has echoed through the halls of internet history ever since.
For those who remember the old days, it might be difficult to believe that Sony would repeat history more than 20 years later. But, like it or not, inflation is real, and prices tend to climb over time, whether it makes sense or not.
If you’re eyeing a PS6, it might be wise to start saving up now.
