Sony has said it has yet to decide when to launch the PlayStation 6, nor how much it will cost, as memory shortages continue to hit hard.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In an investor-focused Q&A meeting, Sony said it sold 1.5 million PS5 units in the fourth quarter ending March 31, 2026, down from the 2.8 million it sold the same quarter the previous year. PS5 is now near the 100 million sold mark, although it continues to lag behind the PS4. Sony’s projections for the PS5 in the current financial year are based on the volume of memory it can secure at \u201creasonable prices,\u201d the company added.<\/p>\n

All this comes as the PS5 nears its sixth birthday, and with the launch of guaranteed system seller GTA 6 in November getting ever closer. GTA 6 launches on console only, and is expected to drive a surge of hardware sales despite recent price increases. The question for Sony and Microsoft is whether they can capitalize on GTA 6\u2019s launch by having enough consoles to meet demand.<\/p>\n
