A hardware leaker reports that Sony's bill of materials for the PlayStation 6 has increased to around $900. Sony stated it does not intend to sell hardware at significant losses.
KeplerL2 updated estimates on NeoGAF, raising the PlayStation 6 bill of materials by about $200 from a March figure of roughly $750. The new total reaches approximately $900 to $960 per unit before additional costs such as shipping and labor.
Sony addressed pricing during a recent investor Q&A. The company said, “As a principle, we do not intend to sell hardware at significant losses,” while noting it is monitoring the market.
Hardware analyst Moore’s Law Is Dead argued that a 2027 launch remains optimal regardless of component prices. KeplerL2 added that delaying the console would not improve value if prices continue rising.
Sony has not confirmed a release date or final pricing for the next-generation console.
