PlayStation 5: All the rumors about the new video game console
It is possible that Sony PlayStation present the next generation of their consoles this 2018. Here we collect everything we know so far.
Sony PlayStation has not released details about the next generation of its consoles, the PlayStation 5, but that's not for the rumor machine.
The company launched the PlayStation 4 , its latest generation of consoles, in November 2013 and since then has added sales of 70 million units . It is because of the PS4 sales success that some think that Sony will not launch a new console in the next few months, or tracks of it in E3 2018. However, other people say that we may learn something about the PS5 this year the impressive achievements of the Nintendo Switch and the launch of the powerful Xbox One X .
Again, we must approach all these rumors with caution and not feed the expectations that a PS5 will be launched in 2018 or 2019.
But it's fun to speculate, right? So here we compile some of the rumors that are already circulating and we will continue to add more, especially when approaching E3 2018, where Microsoft Xbox will take advantage to keep trying to snatch players from Sony.
The rumors about the PS5 so far
The launch date of the PS5 could be during the fourth quarter of 2018 to take advantage of the Christmas season, according to the Wall Street Journal told the analyst of Macquarie Capital Securities, Damian Thong.
On the other hand, it is more likely that the launch date will be during the fourth quarter of 2019 or 2020, says US Gamer based on interviews given by Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter . The reason? To avoid paying attention to the PS4 that continues to sell well.
If Sony releases the PS5 in 2019, we could already begin to see console tracks starting with GDC 2018 or E3 2018.
Another rumor is that Sony already sent, in early 2018, the developer kits to start creating games for the PS5.
Possible games ready in time for the PS5 could include: Horizon Zero Dawn 2, The Last of Us 2, FIFA 21, Uncharted, Assassin's Creed and Gran Turismo 7 .
A PS5 would have a possible price of US $ 399, the same as the PS4.
The PS5 will offer "backward compatibility" - like the Xbox One - but only for games on the PS4.
With a new PS5, there could be a new PlayStation VR system.
A more powerful PS5 will play video games in 4K at 60 frames per second.
