İçeriden bir kaynak, PlayStation 6'nın üretim maliyetinin şimdiden 1.000 dolara yaklaştığını açıkladı.

In recent weeks, rumors have circulated that Sony might delay the release of its next-generation console, the PlayStation 6, until 2028 or even 2029. However, several well-known insiders have denied these claims. This time, though, a new report reveals the possible production cost of the console, which is approaching $1,000 per unit.

This information was provided by one of PlayStation's most reliable and trusted insiders, known by the username Kepler_L2. As reported by ResetEra, he previously estimated the cost of the PS6 to be around $760, but now it has increased by approximately $200 due to the ongoing shortage of components and rising prices. You can check out Kepler_L2's original statement below:

So if the PS6 launched today it would probably be in the ~$1000 maybe $1100 range. Obviously, it isn't launching soon so it puts the price on a pretty gnarly trajectory lol

Reminder than BoM doesn't include facility overhead, R&D, labor, marketing, sales support, b2b logistics (warehouse to retailer), etc

In this context, ResetEra users speculate that the potential price of the PlayStation 6 will likely exceed $1,000. However, Sony reportedly has not yet finalized the exact release date for the console, as previously stated by the company's representative, Hiroki Totoki. According to unofficial reports, the launch of the PlayStation 6, along with its direct competitor, Microsoft's Project Helix, is still planned for the holiday season of 2027.

Recently, another insider and YouTuber, Moore's Law Is Dead, shared information that Sony aims to achieve 4K resolution and 120 FPS on the PlayStation 6 by leveraging AI technology.
