im so scared for the future of physical games, becuase i really want this.
Honeslty if they remove ownership, i might just switch to PC…but what are your thoughts? Do you think most ps6 games will be fully on disc?
When we're looking at percent of purchases being digital we're up against the lazy whale dick twinging every time it clicks buy.
Keep what you purchase off someone else's server. Own the right to sell what you purchase.
Buy Physical. Fuck digital.
I think PS2 is a bit far fetched but I am 100% sure you can play PS3 discs on a PS6. Mark my words.
​
I just can't wait until Sony Playstation announcement of the PlayStation handheld aka ps6 handheld or also PlayStation go.
The idea all of my PS4 and ps5 games to play on the go with haptic vabrtions feedback and everything.
And trophy hunt at easy I do have a ps portal and I did get PC handheld Xbox ally (highly recommend) to play call of duty because as we all know we can't stream owned call of duty on ps portal only local throw your own ps5.
Although I have Xbox ally and legion go s I still holding off buying games I'm only buying games on steam and on sale only especially sense I already own those games.
I do have a switch lite but same thing no call of duty.
What is more exciting is the fact that not only it's PlayStation handheld it will also have new games for it unlike say PC handheld that will become outdated for the games.
Games like 007 and gta6 will already be playable sense they are ps5 games.
The future for the handheld is crazy and I just want Sony to officially announce it and tell is everything officially no leaks no fake shit.
Just tell us what's coming in more excited for the PlayStation handheld than the ps6 it self.
My PC handheld do emulation and that's the one thing this PlayStation handheld won't do official (but as it gets modified by ppl maybe later on will see emulators)
All i do know it will have AMD APU 6 cores 24gb ram and will play PS4/5/6 games and Dev will require to patch or have had to patch those games in order to run on this handheld. And it will be designed based off ps portal and I love the ps portal design I have one but I would imagine it will have fans and vents unlike the ps portal and more like my legion go s and Xbox ally white.
Screen size my understanding it will be ps portal size.
I don't care for docked if it doesn't dock that's cool with me.
It would be awesome if the SSD is easily upgrade able on it like ln the ps5 where you don't need to open anything up.
I also don't think it will read micro SD card no leak suggest such.
What is y'all excited when you think about ps6 handheld.
Looking at various leaks/rumors, it's obvious that PS6 is going to be a Switch copycat. It's going to be a handheld hybrid console w/dock that has the raw power/capability of around a base PS5.
How much is it going to cost? Probably $599 is my guess. Would not be a bad price given the current market conditions for the what you're getting imho. And there will likely be a home console only version of PS6 that will be the premium, or "Pro", offering. Will likely be $999, however.
But here's the thing. If you don't have the money to upgrade, you don't have to! Because all PS6 games have to run on the low power hybrid, basically all games will be able to run on PS5.
Sony will heavily lean on the hybrid features with the debut of the PS6 as the reason to purchase. And why shouldn't they? Switch has been a massive success. Steam Deck is popular, other PC handhelds are gaining traction, and Xbox handheld is coming. It makes all the sense in the world.
"Next gen" is going to be more cross gen than ever. PS5 and PS5 Pro users can remain on those consoles for years to come, if they choose. The hybrid nature of PS6 will be the selling point. And for those who can afford and want premium hardware, there will be the home console version.
Just in from their Investor meeting: Responding to questions, Sony president and CEO Hiroki Totoki explained that the rising costs for vital components like RAM would have an impact on its PS6 plans. "We have not yet decided on at what timing we will launch the new console, or at what prices,"
Totoki said during the call. "We would like to really observe and follow the situation. Looking at the current circumstances, the memory price is also expected to be very high in the Financial Year 2027, because there will still be a shortage of supply. So under that assumption, we must think carefully about what we will do."
i sold my steam deck oled for $750 and i've come to terms that i really want a ps5 pro for gta 6. i have a powerful pc already (5070ti 9800x3d 32gb) but i wanna play gta 6 day one.
does the ps5 pro ever go on sale? perhaps back to it's original price? i read something about a yearly event during july? is it likely that the console will go on sale for $750?
As a new player towards the PlayStation ecosystem which one should I invest in to play
PS4
Ps5
Or should I wait for the ps6
Ps4 games would be cool to play with PlayStation console but I’m not sure which one to pick
I feel like buying a ps5 rn would be not worth it if the ps6 will be coming out in 2027 or 2028
I recently retired and we are 4 months away from my wife semi-retiring. Now that she has started having more free time, one of my lifelong dreams came true — my wife gamed with me. She is now playing Cyberpunk 2077 and we have a multiplayer game of BG3 going… on PC.
Yesterday, she asked me about GTA6. I told her about GTA and showed her an old saved game of GTA5 and then showed her Red Dead Redemption 2. She had me keep playing RDR2 for two hours, stunned by the plot, the graphics, and how beautiful and peaceful it was riding a horse across the landscape. Now she wants to play RDR2 next… and she wants to play GTA6.
I told her it will be console only and we’d have to wait for the PC release in a year or so. Well apparently that stuck with her because she asked me today if I was planning on buying a console for Christmas so I could play it sooner and I said ai was thinking about it. She said she wanted that to be her present to me. 🥰
She wants to know if there will be a bundle she can wishlist or if she should just get a PlayStation Pro now and buy the game when it comes out. And told her there isn’t a bundle yet but with Trailer 3 due any day now, we could have the be drop soon.
Should she buy me the PS Pro now and add the game later or wait for a bundle?
Today 1GB of GDDR7 costs $18-22, if Sony goes for 30GB of GDDR7 that will be $400-$450 from RAM alone. That's more than the entire launch price of the PS5 digital.
Maybe a quarter or less of people who will want to buy a ps6 will be able to afford it. i think the only way to launch the PS6 is with a payment plan. if it costs $800 (subsidized) that could be:
24 months: $33/month
36 months: $22/month
48 months: $16/ month
would you be happy to pay that?
I would happily go for a monthly plan if they threw in PS Plus (especially for the handheld)
Seriously, I dont think people will care about 120+ fps or path tracing, or ai upscaling etc the ps5 and especially ps5 pro already perform and look very nice for majority of games, why would people dish out likely 1000$ to get better lighting, frames and resolution other than enthusiastic gamers who don't have a PC?
How will PS6 sell when its likely to have no exclusives? It takes naughty dog over 7 years now to make one game lol they are putting all their money into trash live service (horizon hunter gathering, marathon, concord, fairgame$) instead of making real exclusives like jak, twisted metal, LPB, and many other forgotten IPs. This push for live service tarnished Playstation reputation for having must play exclusives.
All Sony has is innovating the controller and Ui? Tell me, what games can truly be exclusive to PS6 that PS5 is incapable of running? Seeing PS5 will have 100 million sold units, why would any company make a PS6 exclusive? It'll have to be Elden ring 2 as an exclusive to push units lmao
What really caught my attention was the part about Sony potentially “changing business models.”
That could mean a lot of things:
• Longer console generations
• More expensive hardware
• Subscription-style consoles
• Multiple PS6 tiers
• Bigger push toward digital/cloud gaming
• Less focus on selling consoles at a loss
Feels like the traditional console model might be hitting a wall. Hardware is getting insanely expensive to make, development costs are exploding, and companies now make so much money from subscriptions, MTX, and digital sales that the actual console itself almost feels secondary.
Part of me wonders if PS5/Series X might end up being the last “normal” console generation.
Just like how the PlayStation five has haptic triggers I think it would be cool. If like you’re walking through mud or something that the analog stick had tension back.
