Modular upgrades: Breaking the PlayStation down into smaller parts would mean each piece, when an upgrade is wanted or necessary, could be exchanged for a newer one.At the least, we don't expect an even bigger one, so hopefully it will simply fit with your other items better. Hopefully, the PS6 downsizes a bit-and it probably will. And maybe you like that, but if not, a smaller console is in store. Depending on where it's at in the room, you and anyone who glances over it is fully aware it's there. Maybe this will include easier access to the built-in web browser seen in older PS consoles (it's in the PS5, but it's not easy to find). The PlayStation Store will get an update, hopefully with better ways to navigate. Updated user interface: It's not uncommon to see a refreshed UI with a new version of any tech, especially when dealing with a console that has a cycle of half a decade.The PS6 should be backwards compatible with older console's games, ideally as far back as the 1st-gen PlayStation.
Ultimate backwards compatibility: We want to buy a game and know that we can play it for a long time. Maybe the PS6 is when Sony will lump motion controllers and headsets into the same box as the console. Right now, we have separate devices we have to buy to hook up to our existing computers and consoles to benefit from virtual reality games. VR integration: This is where gaming is going. If not a new way to upgrade the drive, a bigger SSD would suffice for most people. Sure, you could use an external drive, but you won't get anything near the read speeds you're used to with the internal NVMe SSD. We're hoping Sony makes the internals of the PS6 more accessible, so swapping out the hard drive for something more significant is easier, like through a plug-and-go model. Storage enhancements: If the internal hard drive isn't large enough for your needs, expanding the PS5 storage is possible, but not easy. Include the headset's wireless adapter in the console, and you'd be able to ditch both the DualSense charging station and wireless USB dongle. It might look weird at first, but leveraging the PS6's always-plugged-in state to charge your everyday products (and PS6 controller) would be great. Put your phone on it, headphones, controllers, anything which supports wireless charging.
Built-in wireless: Modern PlayStations already connect to the internet wirelessly, but what we're referring to here is an area at the top of the console, or maybe through an arm slide out, that can charge accessories.
