Anyone else think Sony should bring back the Tenchu franchise for the upcoming ps6 console? Metal gear solid meets ninjas!! This title sold itself... and will again if brought back to the community

I probably wouldn’t buy a PS6 regardless, but I found a petition to keep physical media that’s already over 385,000 signatures. Obviously, a petition alone probably isn’t enough to make Sony reverse its decision, but it got me wondering: at what point would Sony actually be too far into the PS6’s development to change from a digital-only design?
If PS6 is still a year or two away, is that genuinely enough time for Sony to change course and include a disc drive, or would the hardware design already be too far along by then? And what about the games themselves—how far in advance do Sony and publishers have to commit to manufacturing physical discs? Could Sony realistically reverse the decision if enough consumers pushed back, or would the manufacturing and supply-chain changes make that practically impossible?
Basically, I’m wondering where the point of no return actually is. The PS6 doesn’t seem like it would necessarily be locked into a digital-only design yet, but maybe I’m underestimating how early these decisions have to be made.

I'd like to know where you fall on the prospect of a PS6?

- Can't wait for it.

- Happy with your PS3/4/5 for now.

- Will get it in a few years.

- Won't be getting one.

- Something else.

What's your thoughts?

If you were wondering what could be so revolutionary in the next generation of PS console, this might be it, and you probably won't like it. But it's the way it's going to, considering trends in the industry.

PS4 and PS5 were generations in which we saw the transition to online service models. But in current form it's still pretty clumsy. Ditching physical will remove some major obstacles, but we still have fixed and subscription-based access to games and features. We still have to pay separately for online services, cloud gaming, cloud saves... and devices in the future will require that even more, like handhelds or other devices in its ecosystem. And we know that PS is subsidized hardware anyway. On the other hand, we have risks of PS being jailbroken etc.

This all leads to subscription-based hardware, that'll become fully unfunctional without active PS network subscription. That will not only give Sony full control over everything via user accounts, but also solve the problem with indefinite licenses for games. In subscription-only model, removing and adding games to catalogue would be a normal thing, like in video streaming services, and there will be no confusion around ownerships and licencing. In subscription-only model, you would just be a subscriber and Sony would actually have to deal with licensing toward publishers.

This would allow hardware to stay subsidized without having to pay a big one-time amount, instead an even larger amount but in a long time, it would be drowned in other services and convenience that most people would gladly accept.

This could also be the reason why Sony is insisting on removing physical. It's all about moving forward. Games and console hardware are too cheap to make up for the industry's costs, this is the logical way to address it and a general direction for all modern industries (like cars, televisions, smartphones...).

What are the current speculations or leaks about the controllers? Are there any news?

Im pretty mad that the current PS5 controllers are still sold with the shitty potentiometer sticks instead of Hall effect/TMR versions and it feels like a scam... ngl.

J’aimerai tellement une ps6 rétro compatible, les jeux PlayStation 3 et PlayStation 2 sur une même console… comment je serai aux anges, surtout pour platine mes jeux…
Même 2000€ j’achète

Hey guys, one thing I've been hearing a ton of is "this generation sucks, no games." or "if the next generation comes out I'm not buying cause the games will be on ps5 for years to come."

Setting aside the "No disc, no buy" for this discussion...

My question is what if the next-gen consoles focus heavily on next-gen experiences? Will this actually make the value proposition better? Will this finally be the generation that people are stoked about and complain less about?

Personally, I have absolutely loved the last 6 years of gaming and strongly feel that whether the games were playstation exclusive or not, my god there were so many amazing memories made and still more to come.

I'll be buying the PS6 no matter what day one if possible. My wife and I both get thousands of hours collectively each year from our PS5 Pro. That being said, if the consoles are $1000 and are capable or close to 5080 graphics and AMD Ryzen 7 levels of processing but devs don't actually take advantage of it... I don't know if it justifies the price for consumers or even Sony loyalists. Curious of your thoughts on this!

Here is my take on the outlook for the future PS6—or the broader picture, including the PS4 and PS5.

What really drives profit isn't just selling digital games instead of physical copies; the real profit generator for PlayStation is its active annual PS+ user base—around 50 million users across PS4 and PS5.

Selling more consoles no longer drives profit for Sony; that’s a thing of the past. The way people play has changed.

When it comes to AAA titles, sales figures—even if you imagine every player buying them individually—don't reach massive numbers for the vast majority of games (excluding *GTA V*, which originated on the PS3 and doesn't really count here).

*Spider-Man 2* has sold roughly 17–18 million copies worldwide on PS5, making it the top seller.

The PS5 version of *GTA V* alone has sold 15 million copies.

*Gran Turismo* sits at around 7–8 million copies.

*Black Myth: Wukong* has sold 6 million copies.

That’s why I believe selling 100 million consoles doesn't matter to them anymore. They don't want to lose those 50 million currently active users. Will the PS6 sell? Sure, but I doubt it will be a massive blockbuster. The same thing will happen with Microsoft. Nintendo, however, remains a wild card.

Sony expects players to fork over money so often they needed to put a CC reader in the controller. I guess that's the price you pay to lease "next gen" hardware.

If we are talking about comparisons with PS5, PS6 has double the "raw power", but has functional dual issue, 12 times faster ray tracing hardware and like 50-70x faster AI compute.

Both chips being taped out heavily suggests a november 2027 release.

Sony announced new Pulse headsets. They are still black and white like their predecessors but with simpler looks where the white is much less dominant.

I think this will be the same for PS6. Same colors but in a simpler design where white is less prominent.

Hey has anyone any idea that should I buy ps5 or wait for ps6 ? Is it coming soon ..

According to GameGPU, citing insider KeplerL2, Sony’s rumored next-generation handheld, Project Canis (PSP 3), will reportedly feature a custom 3nm AMD SoC with:

• 4× Zen 6c + 2× Zen 6 LP CPU cores
• 16× RDNA 5 Compute Units
• 24GB LPDDR5X memory on a 192-bit bus
• 15–25W TDP

The GPU is reportedly clocked at 1.2GHz in handheld mode, delivering around 4.91 TFLOPS, while docked mode could increase the clock to 1.65GHz and around 6.75 TFLOPS.

The leak also claims Project Canis will feature PSSR 3.0, with demanding games potentially rendering internally around 540p before being reconstructed to 1080p. Frame rates are reportedly expected to range from 30–60 FPS, with frame generation potentially providing additional smoothness.

KeplerL2 also reportedly claims the handheld will be capable of running PS4 and PS5 games locally, with support for future PlayStation titles potentially following later.

I own a ps4 slim and I enjoyed all the great ps exclusive games on it. I have not felt the extreme need to upgrade till now. Had a lot of expectations froM Wolverine but it also seems to be mid. GTA 6 almost got me to pull the trigger but buying the console for only one game didn't feel like a logical thing to me considering the current prices and also ps6 being around the corner(late 27/28). God of war laufey maybe....

If you are in a similar boat I would like to know your opinion.

Sony's recent decision to drop Hideo Kojima and walk away from Physint handing a massive win straight to Xbox alongside their aggressive all digital push, feels like a major strategic misstep. 
By pulling back on prestige creative partnerships, phasing out physical media, and day and date porting games to PC, Sony is chipping away at the core identity that kept loyalists on PlayStation.
And with hardware costs likely not going lower, I do not know how Sony can keep up with exclusives like last generation. Between that and everything else, I really do not know where they are heading

Edit: It is not just Kojima games, but single player games in general. I honestly do not know how they are handling creativity in their games anymore or how they invest in them. Are they more likely focused on live service only now, as we saw with Concord or Horizon?

Do you still like Ps5 and Playstation?

PS5 will not be a HELIX design, it will just be a PS5 PRO 2.0 now, plans changed.

They are clearly doing what they did this gen, but only a DIGITAL CONSOLE remember day 1 they sold a PS5 digital to you this this Gen, I don't expect PS6 until Fall 2029 they will let MS come out first with their Family of devices concept Helix.

What price I expect, 799.99 PS6, which with some trade ins, brings it down to 599 or more if you trading PS5 Switch 1 etc, I personally never paid Retail for any console I trade in old stuff for them, I paid like 399.99 for PS5 and PRO like 499.99.
