How to read PS6 timing rumors
Official vs leak. Only Project Amethyst is official. Every date is a leak, estimate or analyst read. PS6 release date grades each claim so you know what to trust.
Why 2028 is the center. Memory supply is the binding constraint, and a 92M-strong PS5 base removes pressure to rush. The PS6 Pro question adds a second timing variable for later in the generation.
What could pull it to 2027. Easing DRAM prices plus competitive pressure from Xbox next-gen hardware. Follow the handheld story too, since a Canis launch would likely bracket the main console window.
