Fresh details have emerged suggesting Sony’s PS6 and Microsoft’s next Xbox generation may arrive later than expected, with industry insiders pointing to rising RAM costs and global supply pressure driven by AI demand.
Despite the uncertainty around release timelines, many gamers appear comfortable with a longer wait, arguing that current consoles still have plenty of untapped potential.
The reported delay discussions centre on sharp increases in RAM and storage prices, which have surged as major tech firms prioritise AI development. With next-generation consoles expected to rely heavily on advanced memory, manufacturers may prefer to hold off until costs stabilise rather than launch expensive hardware too early.
Online reactions seen by Okay News on X and Reddit show rare consensus among players, with many saying the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S feel far from exhausted and could last well into the next decade.
While Sony and Microsoft have yet to confirm any release window, the mood among gamers suggests patience may outweigh the rush for new consoles.
