Sony executives are currently undecided about the launch date for the PlayStation 6, according to recent comments made to The Wall Street Journal. The company is facing challenges due to soaring memory prices, which have more than doubled since 2025, leading to speculation that the console's release could be postponed.

Sony has firmly stated that it will discontinue physical PlayStation game discs in January 2028, raising questions about when the PS6 might be released.
Meanwhile, Microsoft remains uncertain about whether the Helix will continue to support optical media, with plans to allow users to convert existing Xbox discs into digital licenses.
