A prominent leaker claims Sony's PlayStation 6 won't face delays despite rising memory costs. KeplerL2 argues that AMD wouldn't waste resources validating custom APUs for the console if delays were expected. The reasoning suggests that validation work for both living room and handheld models indicates confidence in the launch timeline.

According to the leak, AMD and Sony may have signed supply contracts for the Canis and Orion APUs before the current DRAM crisis intensified. This timing could make delays impossible or unlikely, though it might result in initial hardware availability followed by supply constraints. The leaker's logic focuses on the practical business decision of continuing expensive validation processes.

Price speculation adds another layer to the PS6 discussion, with rumors suggesting consoles could cost up to $999 - significantly higher than the PS5 generation. This potential price increase appears tied to Microsoft's Xbox Helix pricing strategy. While DRAM shortages pose challenges, the ongoing validation work suggests Sony and AMD remain committed to their original launch plans despite market pressures.
