After PlayStation 5 lead architect Mark Cerny provided details about the next-generation console, gamers all over the world have been asking when will Sony release the device. While a precise date hasn’t been given by the Tokyo-based company, they did reveal that it will not come out in the first quarter of 2020.
Wall Street Journal reporter Takashi Mochizuki tweeted this PlayStation 5 announcement along with Sony’s recent earning performance. With this information on hand, the safest bet for the console’s release is still in late 2020 although this isn’t set in stone either.
Whatever the case, the PlayStation 5 is expected to make huge waves once it hit the shelves. Cerny’s recent revelations made sure of that, with the hardware of the device dropping the jaws of gamers worldwide.
Although its CPU, GPU, and ray tracing technology blows its predecessor out of the water, the solid-state drive of the PlayStation 5 is arguably the best feature of the device. To show this capability, Cerny pitted the next-gen console with the PS4 to show how fast the SSD loads a game.
The result was staggering. Where the PS4 took 15 seconds to load “Marvel’s: Spider-Man,” the PlayStation 5 only did it by 0.8 seconds. This is a significant improvement as shorter loading time means that the immersive nature of games – especially gripping titles like “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” – will not be interrupted. It also lessens the frustration of gamers and provides a smoother experience overall.
Regarding the price of the PlayStation 5, it’s expected that Sony will not be charging too much for the next-gen console. The major reason for this is the company’s previous experience with overpricing. It can be recalled that the PS3 lost to the Xbox 360 due to this issue, and it’s also the reason why the Xbox One lost to the PlayStation 4. With the console market competitive as ever, it stands to reason that Sony will not be making the same mistake again. That’s what gamers are hoping for, at least.
