- Sony told outlets it will not sell PS6 hardware at a "significant" loss, with a representative quoted as saying it is "not realistic for us to absorb all component cost increases."
- Pricing concern has grown enough that Wccftech frames a potential $1000 PlayStation 6 as "no longer sounding crazy," while IGN highlights the component-cost pressure as the driver behind Sony's stance.
Why it matters: Sony's refusal to sell PS6 at a loss shifts the burden of rising component costs onto consumers. With hardware historically subsidized by Sony to hit mainstream price points, a near-$1000 PS6 would mark a sharp departure from prior console launch pricing.
