News & Reviews:   gaming console

Sony has already planned the release timeline for the next-gen PlayStation gaming console. According to the latest report, the Japanese company could debut the PlayStation 6 in 2027.

Sony recently rolled out a new update for the PlayStation 5 (PS5) which allows gamers to play games at 1440p resolution. Announced via a blog post yesterday, the new update is now available globally after 1440p was first tested by the PS5 beta participants.

It has been more than a year since the release of the PS5, but it is still on pre-order due to limited stocks. However, things might start to change as Sony has decided to ramp up the production to meet the high demand for the gaming console.

Sony's PlayStation 5 came out more than a year ago, and it's still facing shortage issues. By addressing them, a new report claims that the company will continue to manufacture PS4. In fact, it will continue producing about a million units in 2022.

PlayStation is now giving you a chance to win the hard-to-get PlayStation 5 console with the global "Seize The Throne" campaign. Not only that, but it also invites PS4 and PS5 players to take up various challenges, play your favourite games and win exclusive PSN avatars or PS4 themes for every Community Goal reached.

4K gaming is basically a must-have spec in the new generation of gaming consoles. Besides that, Microsoft is bringing its Xbox Series X / S consoles to the next level for visual by introducing Dolby Vision gaming support. Microsoft claims that the feature should result in "brighter highlights, sharper contrast, and more vibrant colours."

A few minutes ago, Nintendo dropped a surprise announcement of the latest Switch (OLED Model) and had the fans went berserk. It turns out that the rumour is true about the new gaming console having an OLED display.

Earlier this month, it was reported that the chip shortage is likely to increase the price of upcoming smartphones. It appears that not only the smartphone industry is affected by it, other sectors including automobile, gaming console, laptop, and more are also facing the same problem. According to a new report, the shortage is expected to continue through 2022.

When it comes to Huawei, the company is known for producing smartphones and other smart devices. But gaming console? That seems like a far fetched idea but the rumour was posted on Weibo by a leakster. However, he also said the company might first set foot in the gaming laptop segment.

Many of us consider corporations as these faceless organisations that are just out for the money. It's hard to tell if that's completely true these days though, with some of them embracing the modern-day fun. Specifically, we're talking about how Microsoft has been marketing its Xbox brand lately with memes and popular sub-cultures.
