News & Reviews:   PS5

While Sony has more or less confirmed that a good number of PS4 titles can be played on a PS5. Unfortunately, the reverse won't be possible. The company has hinted that it has PS5 titles won't be playable on the PS4.

Based on a statement by Bloomberg, it seems that the Sony Playstation 5 (PS5) will be in limited production in the first year of its launch. Compared to the previous year where Sony managed to manufacture up to 7.5 million PS4, Sony will end up manufacturing up to only 6 million units.

Although the coronavirus pandemic has caused disruptions to many companies, Sony expects the PlayStation 5 to be launched according to schedule. The company recently released a statement to address the concerns of the public and its investors on the company's business. It details areas that may or may not be affected by the pandemic.

Last week, Sony finally unveiled its next-gen PlayStation 5 (PS5) console. During the live-stream, Mark Cerny (Lead System Architect) talked about how the hardware for the console can help developers. It wasn't the most exciting briefing for consumers, but the average Joe can now rejoice because Sony has confirmed that the PS5 will be scheduled to launch during the Holiday 2020 season.

Sony first revealed the existence of a next-gen console way back in April 2019. Now, after months of teasing, the PlayStation 5 is finally unveiled. Last night, Sony Entertainment finally shared some detailed specifications for its upcoming console and has some beefy specs. Still no official render of the console though!

The folks at Sony Entertainment have been very tight-lipped when it comes to details of its next-gen console. While some features have been teased, we've never gotten any concrete numbers on the machine's specs. Obviously, that gives people room to imagine and speculate on just what the Sony PlayStation 5 full tech specs are.

Unlike its counterpart at Microsoft, Sony has been tight-lipped about the details for its next-gen PlayStation 5 console. To date, the public is yet to know what the retail unit would look like. However, this also means that people get to be imaginative, like with the concept video that was released recently by LetsGoDigital.

Next-gen consoles from Microsoft and Sony are coming this year and both are expected to be great. But with Sony pulling out of events like PAX East 2020 and Taipei Game Show 2020 being delayed, not many know what the Sony PS5 will actually be like. That's not stopping analysts from believing that the console will be an unprecedented success though.

Although voice controls have been added to Smart TV remotes for some time, we haven't really seen it added to gaming systems before. But now Sony may be working on a controller that will include an internal microphone, which has led many to believe that we could see voice controls added into the PlayStation 5's controller.

If you were hoping to hear more from Sony at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) this year, prepare to be disappointed. Sony will be skipping E3 2020 because the event's direction doesn't fit with the company's plans. Instead, Sony will aim to attend more consumer events this year.
