Some console players hope that Sony and Microsoft can consider postponing the release of PlayStation 6 and the next-generation Xbox as prices continue to rise.Just when players were accustomed to the price of 3A masterpieces at $70, Nintendo and Microsoft confirmed that the price of the game will reach $80 in the future.Coupled with the rise in prices of hardware, accessories and subscription services from time to time, it makes players feel uneasy.
Neither Sony nor Microsoft have officially announced their next-generation consoles, but it is speculated that the PS6 will be launched as early as late 2027, or sometime in 2028.The speculation released in 2027 originated from the past rule that the host was updated every seven years, as well as some leaked news and rumors.
For example, it has been reported that a Blade Runner theme game developed for PS6 by Supermassive Games has been cancelled.It is said that the original target release date of this project was 2027, which has enabled players to narrow the scope of PS6 release time.
Even though the life cycle of this PS5 generation console has more than seven years, it seems that some players are still not ready for the next generation console.
"I hope Sony and Microsoft can delay the launch of new hardware for another few years," a worried fan wrote in the forum yesterday's price increase statement against Microsoft."I do think this means that the support time will be longer for intergenerational games, but I think the reason is not sufficient enough to make them postpone the launch of new consoles." Another player thinks so.
Other players have expressed similar ideas, and some even said they won't buy new consoles until the PS6 Pro is inevitably released.
