\"'They're<\/a><\/p>\n

In the aftermath of Project Helix\u2019s announcement yesterday<\/a>, notorious hardware leaker Moore\u2019s Law Is Dead<\/a> has reiterated he believes the PS6 will launch in late 2027.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s been a lot of speculation recently suggesting Sony may push back the unannounced platform, potentially into 2028 or beyond. Some of our readers felt the manufacturer should wait as long as 2030<\/a>, feeling the PS5 hasn\u2019t reached its full potential yet.<\/p>\n

Rising RAM and storage prices<\/a> have repeatedly been cited as the reasoning behind the rumoured delay, but MLID \u2013 who claims to have seen various manufacturing documents \u2013 believes it would cost the company more to pull its contracts with manufacturers like TSMC.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In the past, the snoop has stated he\u2019s seen evidence of the PS6 being readied for manufacturing in Q2 2027, and he repeats that information in his latest video.<\/p>\n

He does propose a delay into early 2028 could be possible, as that would allow it to build up inventory and honour its existing contracts. But he doesn\u2019t believe it\u2019ll launch much later than that.<\/p>\n

As for the console itself in comparison to Project Helix, he hypothesises that it\u2019ll be significantly cheaper than Microsoft\u2019s machine, but slightly less powerful overall.<\/p>\n

He says the PS6 will have enough muscle for 4K, 120fps gaming, and reckons with PSSR 3<\/a> and dramatically improved ray tracing, it\u2019ll be more than adequate for most needs.<\/p>\n

While the new Xbox is expected to push better visuals and graphics, he expects it to be priced anywhere from $1,000 to $1,200. Microsoft has effectively confirmed it\u2019ll allow third-party storefronts to be installed on its machine, which will also limit its ability to sell the system at a loss.<\/p>\n

Obviously all of this is just speculation, and only Sony knows exactly what\u2019s going on behind-the-scenes.<\/p>\n

The reaction to rumours of the PS6 being delayed were met with enthusiasm earlier this year<\/a>, yet there seems to be genuine excitement for Project Helix arriving as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a bizarre contradiction as far as we\u2019re concerned, so it\u2019s going to be really interesting to see how this all shakes out once we have more concrete information on both machines.<\/p>\n
