Many gamers are already waiting for PlayStation 5, although it was already announced that it may still take a while before it is released. Apparently, fans are excited to have this newest console from Sony because, based on the details published online, this will give them a whole new level of gaming experience.
Sony plans to launch limited PS5 units
Then again, as much as Sony is also excited to bring PlayStation 5 at the soonest possible time, the company can’t do it because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, due to this crisis, the tech company is also reducing the number of units that they will make and release.
Bloomberg reported that Sony made the decision to limit the production of PS5 to a certain number since there could be less demand for the console not just because of the pandemic but because they may give the product a high price tag because of its high-end components and specs. Also, since there could be low demand, there is a high chance that the company will lose money so to be safe, they will only make around 5 to 6 million units for global distribution.
Sony’s rumored secret issue with PS5
As Sony did not launch PlayStation 5 earlier, there are rumors that say it has encountered a major issue with the unit so it has been delayed until a solution is found. It was said that the final design of the console is not yet available as they are still tweaking the specs.
In any case, based on the speculations, Sony is in panic mode right now because they found that PlayStation 5 has overheating issues. Sources alleged that the console’s cooling tray can’t handle the heat and it is either the cooling tray is not enough or the unit simply creates too much heat.
It was added that this heating problem is likely to force Sony to quickly redesign PS5’s system's cooling and chassis design. But then again, it should be noted that this issue may not be true at all.
Price and release date
Meanwhile, Sony’s PlayStation 5 has been scheduled for release by March 2021. For its price, it can be anywhere from $499 and up.
