Yesterday, sources revealed that the PS6 may use 30GB GDDR7 memory, sparking heated discussions. In the current environment where memory prices are skyrocketing, PS6's cost control is worrying players. The same situation is also true for the long-rumored new PSP.
·The rumored new PSP is not the current cloud gaming PSP, but a PSP successor that can directly play PS5 games. Sources say that the new PSP will be equipped with at least 20GB of memory, and is likely to use 24GB of LPDDR5 specifications. This will be twice the 12GB of memory of the first Switch 2, and is on par with the Asus ROG Xbox Ally XPC handheld console.
·The same trouble is the skyrocketing price of memory that is widely predicted by the industry. Long before the price drops, Sony Interactive Entertainment may bear the losses caused by the excessive price of memory in order to lower the price of the overall console.
·This has precedent in the history of past game console releases. After the release of Sony Interactive Entertainment’s PS4, the memory capacity was increased from the original 4GB design capacity to the marketed version of 8GB, causing the budget cost to soar by 1 billion.
