How can the PS6 be "delayed" if there was never a release date?

Nintendo price hike will slow their sales even further.

With the recent State of Play we just had, I feel like PS5 is just getting started. I hope this generation lasts longer. I don't need a PS6 anytime soon.

We don’t need new, expensive hardware. Just more great games

Good, I am fine with the Pro and honestly fine with the base consoles, so more games is needed for my tastes not expensive new hardware.

Only thing I’m thinking of here is if it’s delayed would that mean since things are already finalised that the system could end up using “outdated” specs. Like having specs which would be brand new for the original release feel a little outdated by time they settle on a new release two years later?

It would just just seem a bummer not utilising the best specs for the year it’s released.

The RAM crisis is resembling a monopoly at this point, which is illegal. Governments around the world should step in and do something to protect other businesses that rely on RAM.

How does something get delayed into its initial release date?

I don't know if I'll buy another console. Consoles use to be a great price for performance in a convenient to use package. Might be PC only from here on out. Since connecting my gaming PC directly to my HDTV, I'm only ever buying PS5 games if they are exclusives. The gap between today's mid-range graphics cards (e.g., rtx 5070) w/ whatever modern CPU and the PS5 is already massive.

I get the sentiment that games are taking longer to develop these days, but PS5 is missing quite a bit in terms of upscaling features. PSSR on PS5 Pro hasn't been an across-the-board solution and doesn't work well in some games. The CPU is also very weak. That isn't to say that fun games can't still come out but there is getting to be a lot of things PS5 can't do and to not come out with an answer to that soon just makes me uninterested in the platform going forward.

I don't care if it gets delayed or not. What's important to me is that the next game from Bluepoint and Naughty Dog will still be released on my PS5.

So what games would’ve launch with it anyway? Sure RAM has a lot to do with it, but it also gives time for games to be ready.

Im so glad we have Nintendo in the market with focus on console and decent prices for the kids (and adults).
This is just another win for them. Also for Sony Playstation.

They dont really a choice but to delay it. PS5 pro was a bad decision and not really needed imo. They could of put all those resources towards the ps6.
