PS6 Leak Signals Unexpected Name Change, 3 New Consoles Due In 2027
Key Points:
- Sony is reportedly preparing to launch three new PlayStation consoles in 2027, marking the start of the PlayStation 6 era, including a standard PS6, a PS6 "Lite" or "S," and a handheld device.
- The PS6 will be the most expensive, priced between $699 and $999 with an Orion CPU, while the PS6 S and handheld will use an AMD "Canis" chipset, costing between $349-$549 and $499-$699 respectively.
- This generation may introduce a new naming convention to distinguish the lower-cost PS6 S from the main model, diverging from previous "Slim" or "Pro" variants to a potentially "Lite" style option.
- Sony is expected to unveil the new consoles closer to the 2027 holiday season, with no official announcements yet, and current information is based on leaks from Moore’s Law Is Dead, a source with a strong track record but not officially confirmed.
