Rumors: PS6 leaks can suggest the release window of console
The well -known hardware leaker offers some new information that suggests the potential release window of Sony PlayStation 6.
Former SIE Worldwide Studios CEA Shawn Layden recently tells you a lot in an interview with the YouTube channel KIWI TALKZ, and does not agree with this prediction. “I think Sony can't run away [an all-digital PS6] “The industry veteran describes this concept in detail and says that Sony's home console is continuing to use in a slow or connected environment from rural players to users due to technical or security reasons.

Rumor has to support physical media.
During the interview, Layden discussed the challenges of all digital console creation through the prism of Sony, who develops a new standalstation handheld. Portable form factors will exclude support for Blu-ray disks, but Sony does not mean that Sony can be completely digitized for the same reason as Sony is a problem.

Layden has a similar expectation for Xbox HandHELD, which has recently been in the prototyping stage but has not yet been approved for commercialization.
