PS6 Reportedly Has Xbox Series S-Like Variant, Fans Concerned

A new leak claims that Sony will offer a lower-priced PS6 variant akin to Xbox Series S, leaving players concerned. Xbox Series S is often criticized — including by Sony itself — for holding the current gen back, so fans are understandably worried.

Costs may tempt Sony to release a lower-spec, lower-priced PS6 “S”

This leak comes from YouTuber Moore’s Law Is Dead (MLID), who’s been fairly reliable since originally leaking the PS5 Pro. In a new video, MLID claims that Sony will introduce a Series S-like lower-priced console alongside the regular PS6 console and a handheld.

The insider refers to it as “PS6 S” Canis console as it’ll reportedly utilize Canis chip and RAM.

Considering skyrocketing costs and prices, we can see why Sony may be tempted to introduce a cheaper PS6, if this rumor is true. However, what truly makes a difference is the console’s specs.

If there’s significant disparity between PS6 and “PS6 S,” and Sony mandates devs to accommodate both consoles like Microsoft does with Series X and S, it’ll certainly cause some frustration.

“Please not another “S” console… it is bad for the devs and usually also bad for games and their optimizations,” one player wrote on Reddit. “We don’t need four types of different consoles for devs to try and develop for,” wrote another.

Right now, all we have to go by is MLID’s report and speculations about what “PS6 S” is, so we’ll reserve our judgment.
