Speculation around a potential PlayStation 6 Lite model has been swiftly debunked by AMD insider KeplerL2, who characterizes the idea as a “nightmare” for developers. This development comes on the heels of an analysis that suggested a lower-priced version of the upcoming console could be powered by technology from the Canis handheld. However, the feasibility of such a model appears bleak, as first reported by Wccftech.

As the gaming industry grapples with rising hardware prices, anticipation for the next-generation console continues to build. According to AMD leaker KeplerL2, the PlayStation 6 could potentially launch at a price point of $699, despite the increasing costs of its components. This comes on the heels of significant price hikes for both the PlayStation 5 and its upgraded counterpart, the PlayStation 5 Pro, leaving many to wonder how much more consumers will have to spend for the next iteration.
