[索島] 專家 : 我們不需要PS6，也不要買
Even If You Desperately Want One, Please Don't Buy The PS6
https://www.thegamer.com/ps6-release-date-specs-price-games/
We are now almost six years into the current console generation that began
with the launch of PS5 and Xbox Series X/S back in December 2020, so we
should be filled with excitement for the next one. Right? You’d think so,
since every console generation in history has lasted a similar amount of time
and naturally led into the next with millions of us ready and waiting to be
floored by new hardware, sucked into new games, and very happy to put money
down on a brand-new machine.
現在距離本世代主機（PS5和Xbox Series X / S於 2020 年 12 月發布）已經過去了近六
年，所以我們應該對下一代主機充滿期待，對吧？你可能會這麼想，因為歷史上每一代主
機的生命週期都差不多，並且自然而然地過渡到下一代，數以百萬計的玩家都翹首以盼，
準備迎接新硬體帶來的震撼，沉浸於新遊戲的樂趣，並樂於為一台全新的主機掏腰包。
Next-gen hardware always pushes the boundaries on graphics, offering games,
features, and ideas that justify the price of being part of the conversation.
While the PS5 and Xbox Series X already approached a dangerous point of
diminishing returns, they still had fantastic titles like Astro’s Playroom
and Demon’s Souls, and were able to push things to 4K resolution and 60
frames per second for the first time outside of PC. But as the years wore on,
these consoles have failed to push the boat out again and again as the
industry continually butts against the harsh reality of triple-A game
development and rising technological costs brought about by outside
circumstances.
次世代硬體總是不斷突破圖形技術的極限，提供各種遊戲、功能和概念，使其物有所值。
雖然PS5和Xbox Series X的性能提升已接近極限，但它們仍然擁有像《宇宙機器人》和
《惡魔之魂》這樣優秀的作品，並且首次在PC之外實現了4K分辨率和60幀的流暢體驗。
然而，隨著時間的推移，由於遊戲產業不斷受到3A級遊戲開發嚴苛現實以及外部因素導
致的技術成本不斷上漲的限制，這些主機卻始終未能突破性能瓶頸。
First-party exclusives have been thin on the ground, with some studios
releasing only one or two titles throughout the entire generation, if that,
as others rely entirely on predictable remasters. Third-party developers and
publishers have been picking up the pace somewhat, but they’re not immune to
rapidly rising budgets and unsustainable production timelines that require
all games to be instant hits or risk layoffs and studio closures. The video
game landscape is in a rough spot right now, and traditional console
generations are rightfully being put under the microscope as both hardware
and software become more expensive than ever.
第一方獨佔遊戲寥寥無幾，有些工作室甚至整個世代只推出一兩款遊戲，而其他工作室則
完全依賴千篇一律的重製版。第三方開發商和發行商的步伐有所加快，但他們也無法擺脫
預算快速上漲和不可持續的開發週期，所有遊戲都必須一炮而紅，否則就可能面臨裁員和
工作室倒閉的風險。如今，電子遊戲產業處境艱難，隨著硬體和軟體成本空前高漲，傳統
主機世代也理所當然地受到了審視。
Not to mention that, for the first time in history, we have spent the entire
console generation watching hardware rise exponentially in price, rather than
watching it drop and become more accessible to a wider audience over time.
So, what reason is there to be excited about what’s to come?
更何況，歷史上第一次，我們整個主機世代都眼睜睜地看著硬體價格呈指數級增長，而不
是像以往那樣隨著時間推移價格下降，變得更加普及。那麼，我們有什麼理由對未來感到
興奮呢？
I have to imagine that PlayStation and Xbox were already making loose plans
for the next console generation when PS5 and Series X/S were just arriving on
the market, and rough specs for PS6 and Project Helix have also been locked
in for a couple of years at this rate. The research and development for
products like this takes a very long time and cost hundreds of millions of
dollars, so to suggest that either company can simply pull the plug now that
the landscape is suddenly shifting beneath them is downright foolish.
我猜想，PlayStation 和 Xbox 在 PS5 和 Xbox Series X/S 剛上市的時候就已經開始著
手製定下一代主機計劃了，而且照這個速度，PS6 和 Project Helix 的大致規格可能幾
年前就已經敲定了。這類產品的研發耗時漫長，耗資數億美元，所以認為這兩家公司可以
在市場格局突然改變時就放棄研發，簡直是愚蠢至極。
Triple-A video games take five or more years to make nowadays, so imagine how
much runway you need to plan the development and release of a console used to
run them. While recent reports suggest that the cost of building a PS6 has
risen from $760 to nearly $1,000 in the face of rising component costs that
every major company in the world is dealing with, an ironic twist of fate,
given that many of the same brands are also spearheading data centers which
are driving up costs in the first place. Unfortunately for us, we’ll be the
ones paying the price.
如今，開發一款3A級遊戲需要五年甚至更長時間，可想而知，開發和發布一台運行這些遊
戲的家用遊戲機需要多少時間。雖然最近的報告顯示，由於全球各大公司都面臨著零件成
本上漲的問題，PS6的製造成本已經從760美元飆升至近1000美元，但這卻頗具諷刺意味，
因為許多廠商同時也在引領資料中心的發展，而資料中心正是推高成本的罪魁禍首。不幸
的是，最終買單的還是我們玩家。
The proliferation of live-service titles like Fortnite, Roblox, and Call of
Duty throughout the past console generation has also radically changed the
gaming habits of millions, who no longer operate on the assumption that every
few months there is going to be a big exclusive game to sink their teeth into
or an annual release that redefines what a beloved series can be. We live in
an ever-growing world of virtual ecosystems that, by design, have abandoned
traditional platforms in favour of something more fluid, which removes the
incentive to upgrade when a new console comes around. If Fortnite or Call of
Duty runs just fine already, why bother?
過去一代主機遊戲中，《要塞英雄》、《Roblox》和《決勝時刻》等線上服務遊戲的激增
，徹底改變了數百萬玩家的遊戲習慣。他們不再指望每隔幾個月就會有一款大型獨佔遊戲
或一部重新定義經典系列的年度大作問世。我們生活在一個不斷發展的虛擬生態系統中，
這些生態系統刻意摒棄了傳統平台，轉而採用更靈活的模式，這使得玩家在新主機發佈時
無需升級。如果《要塞英雄》或《決勝時刻》運作順暢，何必呢？
The PS6 rumour that it doesn’t have a disc drive, as PlayStation is
abandoning physical media, is one more nail in the coffin for curious
consumers whose investment in the medium is met with a brutal middle finger
as they are forced to leave the past behind in favour of a digital future.
Helix is also reported to be abandoning a disc drive to save costs and
further capitalise on the extra profits that come from cutting out the middle
man, which is hardly surprising given its hybrid-PC nature. This is not a
future to be thrilled about, as games as an art form are cast aside in favour
of making as much money as possible.
PS6 傳聞將取消光碟機，PlayStation 也因此放棄實體光碟，無疑地為那些對實體光碟充
滿熱情的消費者雪上加霜。他們被迫告別過去，擁抱數位化的未來，卻遭到無情的背叛。
據報道，Helix 也放棄了光碟機，以節省成本，進一步獲取省去中間環節帶來的額外利潤
。考慮到其混合型 PC 的特性，這並不令人意外。這樣的未來令人沮喪，遊戲作為一種藝
術形式被棄之不顧，取而代之的是盡可能地追求利潤最大化。
Sure, we’ll be met with a new controller, a new user interface, and more
powerful hardware than ever, but why does it matter when the current
generation of consoles hasn’t managed to prove themselves in the six years
they’ve already been available? We are being asked to upgrade to a new model
when what sits under our television works just fine, while the industry has
dug itself into such an unsustainable hole of excessive budgets and overlong
dev times that the generational timelines it used to depend on are now its
own worst enemy.
沒錯，我們會迎來全新的手柄、全新的用戶界面，以及比以往任何時候都更強大的硬件，
但當這一代主機上市六年來都未能證明自身價值時，這一切又有什麼意義呢？我們明明電
視機下的主機用起來還不錯，卻被要求升級到新機型。同時，遊戲產業卻因為預算過高和
開發週期過長而陷入了難以為繼的困境，曾經賴以生存的世代更迭週期如今反而成了它最
大的敵人。
PlayStation’s exclusive portfolio is thin on the ground right now while Xbox
is about to go through the biggest round of layoffs in its history that will
reportedly see countless stellar studios closed to cut costs, which means
whenever these new consoles appear they’re not exactly going to be packed
with games to play that either don’t already exist elsewhere or run just
fine on the consoles we already have.
目前 PlayStation 的獨佔遊戲陣容相當單薄，而 Xbox 即將經歷其歷史上最大規模的裁
員，據報道，為了削減成本，無數優秀的遊戲工作室將被關閉。這意味著，無論何時這些
新主機問世，它們都不會配備大量其他平台沒有的遊戲，或者那些在我們現有主機上就能
流暢運行的遊戲。
I like to think that our current brutal present of relentless corporate cuts,
rising costs, and studio closures can somehow pave the way for a more
sustainable and worthwhile future for the medium. Right now, it’s incredibly
hard to remain hopeful. So we should try our best to vote with our wallets
even if it means dealing with the biggest FOMO ever when the PS6 hits the
market.
我願意相信，我們目前面臨的殘酷現實——企業持續裁員、成本上漲、工作室倒閉——或
許能為遊戲產業更永續、更有價值的未來鋪路。現在，保持希望確實非常困難。所以，即
使這意味著在PS6上市時會經歷前所未有的「錯失恐懼症」（FOMO），我們也應該盡力用
錢包投票。
Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better, and I promise you
that big gaming companies will take you for a ride if it means making more
money if they can. We don’t need the PS6 right now, or any new video game
consoles for that matter.
情況在好轉之前還會變得更糟，我敢肯定，大型遊戲公司為了賺錢，會不擇手段地坑害玩
家。我們現在不需要PS6，也不需要任何新的遊戲主機。
