delay the PlayStation 6 and Project Helix indefinitely
both will be unaffordable until hardware costs return to normalcy and most will keep the box they currently have and any "next gen" game will be cross platform anyways
instead focus on further optimizing Gen 9 Jason Schreier:
“There is no case by case” for PlayStation single-player games — all are exclusive going forward
“There’s no ambiguity in their strategy. During a townhall a few weeks ago, Hermen Hulst told staff that their single-player narrative games will be PlayStation only, and he explained that they were inconsistent with their PC releases, they didn’t make enough money, and they want to keep their IP aligned to their own platform. Confirmed this with two people who heard him say it.” PS6 has not been "delayed" Reports coming out now are referencing analyst predictions.
Sony CEO Hiroki Totoki May 2026:
"We have not yet decided on at what timing we will launch the new console, or at what prices. So we would like to really observe & follow the situation." While Naughty Dog hasn't shown off Intergalactic: the Heretic Prophet for quite some time now, it seems the project might be further along than we think. PlayStation CEO: "For in-house singleplayer games, we will further refine the value of the gaming experience that PlayStation can offer. At the same time, we believe it is important for live-service games to reach a wider audience."
The most logical and transparent path imo. Sony making first-party singleplayer games exclusive also gives them more flexibility should the PS6 be delayed.
Exclusivity would be a bridge that connects the two gens.
PS5 would get more value if the gen is elongated, and if PS6 releases on time, the policy would carry over.
