Latest rumors on Reuters have sparked notable speculation about the upcoming PlayStation 6. Even before the PlayStation 5 Pro hits the shelves, insiders are buzzing about the possibility of Sony developing two distinct variants of the PS6. Following reports from reputable forums like Neogaf, sources indicate that Sony is working on not one, but two system-on-chips (SoCs) for the next console generation.

An SoC refers to an integrated chip combining various computing components, such as the CPU, GPU, and RAM, often used in gaming consoles. The development of two SoCs implies that multiple versions of the PS6 could be in the works, akin to Microsoft’s current offerings of the Xbox Series X and the more affordable Xbox Series S. This development could result in a lower-cost PS6 variant, which may be well-received given the estimated $600 price tag for the standard model. There's also speculation that the additional SoC might be intended for a new handheld gaming device, reminiscent of the Steam Deck.

Journalists from Reuters reported that Sony recently signed a multi-billion dollar contract with AMD for chip production, further fueling these speculations. Insights from user 'Kepler' on the Neogaf forum and 'Kepler2' on other reliable platforms suggest ongoing development of two differently-specced home devices or perhaps even the introduction of a new handheld console. In the backdrop of this, the PlayStation Portal's strong market performance surpasses initial forecasts, potentially signaling Sony's renewed interest in portable gaming products.

While 'Kepler' has a credible track record, particularly in the field of PC graphics card leaks, and 'Kepler2' lends further credibility, there’s still a lack of official confirmation from Sony. With the PlayStation 5 Pro launch pending, concrete news about the PS6 might only surface post this next console's release. For keen gamers eager to get their hands on Sony's forthcoming console, keeping an eye on dedicated pre-order pages could prove advantageous.

By integrating these diverse insights, we navigate the excitement and uncertainties surrounding what could be pivotal developments in the gaming world.
