Recent reports indicate that the manufacturing cost of Sony's upcoming PlayStation 6 is approximately 200 dollars lower than the next-generation Xbox console, internally codenamed Magnus. Despite this cost advantage, the successor to the PS5 is still expected to retail for over 1000 dollars.
These technical details originate from the leaker Kepler_L2, who previously provided accurate information regarding PS5 Pro and AMD hardware. However, Sony has not officially confirmed these specifications or pricing projections, and the company has remained silent regarding the circulating rumors.
The high production costs are attributed to significant increases in the price of NAND flash memory and RAM over the last five years. Factors driving these expenses include the demand for generative AI data centers, international conflicts, and various trade tariffs, which were unforeseen when development began.
Project Helix, the umbrella for Microsoft's next-gen Xbox hardware, may see its primary device priced between 1200 and 1800 dollars. Both companies are reportedly exploring portable hardware alternatives, with Sony developing Project Canis and Microsoft considering a less powerful, portable version of its new console.
