In a chat with GamesBeat, trusted Circana analyst Mat Piscatella argued that "higher pricing will likely have to be part of the equation" for PS6, evidencing the slowdown of organic growth when it comes to console hardware sales in the US.

On the heels of the PS5 Pro reveal, multiple analysts reckon the PS6 and next-gen Xbox will return to and perhaps surpass the $600 mark that Sony and Microsoft have already hit with recent hardware.

Reuters sources claim that Intel has lost the race to manufacture the chips that will give life to the heart of PS6.

There is some concern that with the PS5 Pro launching at $700, that when the PS6 comes around, even the base model could in fact launch at $700 too.

Analysts discuss whether the new PlayStation 5 Pro can carry forward with the PS5's momentum or if it's too expensive to try.
