A hardware insider known as "KeplerL2" has recently made a widely circulated leak in which he probably guessed the price of both upcoming new generation consoles: 'PlayStation 6 (PS6)' and 'Magnus' (Microsoft’s new Xbox). According to him, the price of PlayStation 6 would be roughly at US $600 and the price of Magnus would be US $1,200. This claim was first circulated on social platforms and community forums and was then quickly picked up by several gaming and tech news outlets.
Talking about KeplerL2, he has a history of publishing AMD-related details and has also become a frequently cited source for the next-gen hardware rumours; his posts suggest the price gap reflects very different engineering and performance targets for the two machines. However, these price assumptions made by this person is not yet officially confirmed by Sony and Microsoft. So, we need to regard these pricing info as rumours for now. According to the same discussion threads and secondary reports, the Xbox 'Magnus' is purported to pack notably more memory and premium silicon. KeplerL2 claims that there will be 42% more silicon, 20% more memory and higher cooling costs too.
Detailed comparison:-
PS6:
Many reports citing KeplerL2 and others place the PS6 around $600 for a standard/retail model (some stories discuss $499–$699 windows depending on variants). Public speculation and leaks indicate that "Sony" will again partner with 'AMD' for a custom APU — likely featuring Zen6 CPU cores and RDNA5 GPU architecture elements. Analysts expects the incremental improvements over the PS5 Pro/PS5 rather than a wild redesign. Some leaks suggest PS6 might use less system RAM than Microsoft’s machine (examples floating around: ~24GB for a handheld variant and ~30GB for the main PS6 console), but this info has not been confirmed yet.
Xbox - "Magnus":
KeplerL2’s posts and multiple reports suggest Xbox “Magnus” could be around $1,200 and this places it squarely in a premium segment. Coverage also points to a potential bill-of-materials that could push retail pricing well over $1,000. 'Magnus' coverage often describes a very high-end AMD APU built on advanced process nodes (3 nm rumours), pairing a high-end Zen CPU with RDNA 5 GPU blocks that could approach current high-end PC GPU equivalents (reporters reference comparisons like the GeForce RTX 5080 in raw potential). Leak summaries name larger memory configurations (rumours such as ~36GB of RAM cited in forum postings) and higher compute targets, which would raise component costs and explain the higher projected price.
Till now, there is still no official statement given by Sony and Microsoft, so all this information: pricing, performance and architecture details of these two consoles are rumors for now. What are your thoughts on these consoles? Let us know in the comments.
