Shawn Layden: ‘Innovation Needs to Come Not From Making PS6 for $1,200, It’s to Make Another PS5 for $300’ – News
Former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden in an interview withThe Trophy Room podcast believes the PlayStation 6 doesn’t need to be more powerful and “true innovation” would be to make the next-generation console more affordable
He said past generations offered “something mind-blowing” and the “jump from PS1 to PS2 was incredible.” The PS4 was “completely networked” and Sony was able to sell it for $399 at launch.
Layden added, “I think we have enough power in the machine. The innovation needs to come not from making PS6 for $1,200 – it’s to make another PS5 for $300. Now, that would be true innovation.”
This is in response to the current consoles on the market, the Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch, that have all seen the prices go up.
“This is the first platform that I’ve seen that has gone up in price over time,” he said.
