The claim
Sony's PS6 and Microsoft's next Xbox (Project Helix) will launch later than planned because of high memory prices.
Why we rated it Likely
Sony's CEO said the PS6 launch date is still undecided because of the component shortage, and Microsoft's new CEO admitted the next Xbox is affected. The 2028-2029 timeframe for PS6 is a report, not a statement.
