Hopefully it's a PS6 exclusive. PS5 already has a GT game. Also there is 0% chance PS6 comes out in 2027, and furthermore 0% chance GT8 is a launch title when PS6 does come out. '0% chance' is bold, for sure.
PS6 will probably be digital first and offer the ability to attach a disc drive, like the Pro and Slim PS5 do. I'd also expect BC with PS4 and PS6 games. Beyond that though, who knows.
To get this thread started, here are some thoughts/speculation by myself (it's more focused on PS6, because I think Sony is more predictable). Looking forward to see your own speculations and wishes for next-gen, and talk about the latest rumors/leaks!
The PS6 they ship does need to at least convince users to upgrade. But if the only way they can do that is by significantly increasing their hardware subsidy or shipping a $699 console on day one, then that is going to be worse for the long term health of the platform than a 20% difference in GPU hardware power, or a 4GB difference in Memory.
Looking at the system reservation of the Switch 2 and the current and prior consoles, I am thinking that both PS6 and Xbox will have more than 8 CPU cores. Currently Xbox and PS5 reserve about 1 CPU core, which is similar relative to last gen (but an increase in the absolutely sense because the...
PS6 (ORION) BULLET POINTS: 160W TBP means it is anticipated to use less power than a Base PS5 CPU is the same amount of cores but 4 generations ahead of the Base PS5 GPU uses less Compute Units than a PS5 Pro clocked at 50% faster, also note for this: RDNA5 is expected to be a big improvement in IPC performance, meaning each compute unit performs faster than previous AMD GPUs More specifically ...
The PS6 SoC has been design complete for over 6 months now and waiting for A0 tape out. In between now and then there are hw engineering samples built and tested by Sony and AMD. The Magnus APU is likely such a custom engineering sample with the final Zen6 and RDNA/UDNA frontends. So internally AMD and Sony can test compilers and drivers.
