A seismic shift in the gaming world has occurred with Sony's announcement to scrap discs on PlayStation consoles by 2028, leading analysts to believe that the PS6 is imminent. Piers Harding-Rolls of Ampere predicts a 2028 launch for the new console, with no physical media drive as standard. This move could reduce production costs amidst the ongoing RAMpocalypse fueled by AI growth. However, Sony may offer an add-on disc drive for older games, but this could upset gamers who prefer physical media. Moreover, Sony's hints about a 'seamless experience beyond the living room' and the release of PlayStation monitors and speakers have sparked speculation about a potential hybrid console like the Nintendo Switch. Rumors abound of a dedicated PS6 handheld or a next-gen console/controller hybrid that could be docked, similar to the Switch. Furthermore, Sony has hinted at cloud gaming as a possible solution for memory issues, with its dedicated device, PS Portal, experiencing strong demand. However, details about the next-gen platform remain scarce, leaving gamers eagerly awaiting more information on the PS6!
