Sony Points to High Memory Costs as a PS6 Planning Risk

According to TechPowerUp, Sony CEO Hiroki Totoki told investors that memory prices are expected to remain high in fiscal 2027 because supply will still be tight. The company has not locked in the next console launch window or retail pricing and plans to monitor component conditions before making those decisions. The article also places Sony in a wider console cost backdrop, referencing recent price pressure around PlayStation hardware and earlier reports tying Nintendo Switch 2 hardware costs to DRAM and NAND increases. For RamTrend, the main signal is that downstream consumer electronics makers still see memory availability and cost as a planning constraint beyond the near term.
