Digital Foundry experts predict the PlayStation 6 will contain 24 gigabytes of memory compared to the PlayStation 5's current 16 gigabytes. The technical specialists believe this modest increase reflects practical limitations rather than ambitious expansion plans. Machine learning features and enhanced ray tracing capabilities will require additional memory resources beyond current gaming demands. High DRAM manufacturing costs prevent Sony from implementing dramatic memory upgrades in their next console generation.

Microsoft may pursue an alternative strategy for their upcoming Xbox system by creating a premium PC-style device rather than competing directly with Sony's traditional console approach. Company research explored launching a PC-in-a-box product but discovered prohibitive cost increases that would make such systems unattractive to console buyers. The pre-built computer market offers pricing opportunities between budget systems and standard consoles that Microsoft could potentially exploit. Sony's rumored handheld device would likely feature 16 gigabytes of memory and run PlayStation 5 games without modification.
