Sacred Symbols+, Episode 472 | It's Time to Talk About PlayStation 6

Please welcome Tom from Moore's Law is Dead and the Broken Silicon podcast back to Sacred+. When we've had Tom on in the past, it's to leverage his deep knowledge of tech, and this time around, I (Colin) invited him back to Sacred+ for a similar reason. But now, Tom comes packing a series of explosive exclusives that he's recently broken on his shows, giving us the very first glimpse into just what PlayStation 6 is. Codenamed Orion, PS6 seems aimed to be a mass market machine that may somehow be substantially cheaper than PS5 Pro is now, all while aiming for 4K resolutions and 120 frames-per-second. Meanwhile, PS6 is also slated for a handheld iteration, codenamed Canis. And Tom thinks there may even be a "PS6 S" in the works, too, all ready for a potential 2027 launch. So let's discuss all of that, and get into his Xbox leaks, too, surrounding their new machine codenamed Magnus. How will these two ecosystems shape-up, compete, and chase new audiences? Which is more powerful? And perhaps most importantly, which has the best chance at success?
