Industry experts say pricing the PlayStation 6 at 1,000 dollars might trigger a downturn in sales. Overall purchases might decline by 38 to 40 percent over five years. That marks a steep reduction. This pricing warning also relates to Project Helix, also referred to as Xbox Helix. A 1,000 dollar price tag on either console could reduce total sales by 38 to 40 percent across five years.

Sony has not yet chosen a launch schedule. The chief executive of Sony indicated the manufacturer has not decided when to introduce the PlayStation 6. No timing is currently confirmed.
