An insider has denied rumors that Sony is delaying the PlayStation 6 or reducing its specifications. The leaker, known as Moore's Law Is Dead, claims the console will launch in 2027 as planned.
Insider refutes PS6 spec cut rumors
The denial follows speculation that Sony might cut the PS6's GDDR7 VRAM from 30GB to 24GB and use a slower 128-bit memory bus instead of the expected 160-bit bus. Moore's Law Is Dead says 30GB of VRAM is the minimum for the next-gen experience Sony aims to deliver.
The insider argues that Sony cannot afford to delay the PS6, noting that PS5 sales are slowing. He describes the PS5 as 'dying quickly' and believes a new console in 2027 is imperative to attract buyers.
Sony has confirmed it is investing in a next-generation platform, though it has not named the PS6 or specified a launch window. The company faces higher component costs but may be willing to lose money initially on the system, recouping profits later.
Moore's Law Is Dead's claims contradict other rumors of delays or spec cuts. Sony has not officially commented on the PS6's release date or specifications.
