Sepreth(@Sepreth):Former PlayStation CEO Shawn Layden says a more powerful PS6 may be a mistake. Speaking on The Trophy Room podcast, he argued the real innovation would be price, not power. “I think we have enough power in the machine. The innovation needs to come not from making the PS6 for $1,200, it’s to make another PS5 for $300.” Further gains in ray tracing and teraflops, he said, are “differences only dogs can hear.”
