Here's the thing: Sony released the console, and it was ok in the first two years, but in the third year it did start to make big strides.
By the fifth year, we will participate in high-quality games, and there are different models of gaming machines to choose from. With PS4 are the original models, PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro, the latter of which was released at the end of November 2016.
Why did Sony release a new, more powerful version of the same console? Because after only a few years of wild running, the standard PS4 has been left behind by high-spec PCs. Players need something to show off the image quality of their 4K TV, and the PS4 Pro serves as a stopgap for the mid-generation.
The console is still running record-breaking. As of March 2018, Sony has sold 76 million PlayStation 4 consoles. It expects to transfer another 16 million in the next financial year. That might be a little slow, but it's not that nice.
Still, a high-spec PC is starting now, and even the PS4 Pro is miles behind. Sony may hope to close this gap soon with the PS5. Especially now, the company's chief executive, John Kodera, has publicly acknowledged that the console is near the end of its life cycle.
Time flies like an arrow, and soon you can pre-order the PS5, so let's take a look at everything we know so far.
PS5 release date
The PS5 will be released in time for Christmas this year, and Sony will announce a reliable release date in the near future. This means we can see the PS5 making its debut at E3 2019.
Sony Chief Executive Officer Kenichiro Yoshida was recently asked about the possibility of a next-generation PlayStation, saying, "At this point, I can say that I must own the next-generation hardware."
There are already hints of a new next-generation console lurking in Unreal Engine code (codenamed Erebus), which may be the Greek codename for the PS5.
PS5 E3 2019
PS5 is not on this year's E3. Like we said before, Sony has indeed made great strides in PS4 gaming now. Sony leads the race in this generation of console games, beating everyone else in hardware sales, and most importantly, releasing the most exciting and exclusive products.
Sony doesn't want people to start saving money for the next console and cannibalize their upcoming games, especially the PS4 Pro, which was released a while ago.
But we can't help but think that Sony may hint at the potential or technical specifications of the PS5. Keep an eye on "next-generation" technologies and how to use them for future projects.
Sony recently announced that it will not participate in the E3 conference in 2019, which is surprising because Sony feared that this year's PlayStation Experience show would not be enough and therefore cancelled it this year. Sony has promised that they will release more information in due course in a separate event.
A fake PlayStation 5 invitation was issued in January 2019, suggesting that PS5 will be released in February, but don't be fooled. Although the invitation looks convincing, anyone with Photoshop and a 10-minute backup can finalize a compelling invitation. Just don't send mail from your Gmail address …
PS5 games
Obviously, we haven't announced any formal game announcements yet as games on PS5 haven't been announced yet, but there are always games that will never be released on their target generation. Remember The Last Guardian? So, what will be the Last Guardian this year?
We can confirm that PS5 will support 8K resolution and will be backward compatible with PS4 games.
A respected industry analyst said that Sony has now moved first-party studios to the development of PlayStation 5 games. Apparently, Sony is developing new games for the PS5. According to the report, some unannounced games may be released across PS4 and PS5 across generations. The remaining question is, which games have been announced for PS4 and PS5, or just skipped and become exclusive PS5 products?
The following is a list of games that may skip PS4 and eventually be released on PS5, as well as some obvious candidates:
PS5 specifications
Photos of the leaked PS5 development kit have been patrolled since October and confirmed that they have the same design features as the patents found last August.
PlayStation Chief Architect Mark Cerny discussed the internal components of the PS5, which will use a third-generation Ryzen CPU with eight cores based on the 7nm Zen 2 architecture.
The "Oberon" GPU is a custom chip based on the Radeon Navi series and supports ray tracing. If you are looking for an interpreter on ray tracing and its meaning, then we are here to help you. The SSD in the console is very fast. According to Wired, a quick trip in Spider-Man takes about 0.8 seconds, while it takes 15 seconds on PlayStation 4 Pro.
In fact, a video showing only the actual speed of the SSD leaked. This is a demo of loading the PS4 game "Spider-Man" on PlayStation 5. This is the first experience of PS5. It is really a good idea to watch.

The PS5 will support 8K resolution and will include a disc tray, 3D audio integration, and will be compatible with current PSVR models. The image of the PS5 controller has also been leaked through Reddit, and the patented design of the new controller indicates that Sony plans to abandon the light bar and they will have larger triggers, similar to the Xbox controller. Cerny also mentioned that if you want to know how the PS5 adds immersion, the controller will provide improved haptic feedback to better simulate tension.
PS5 price
Sony introduced the PS3 for the cheapest model for $ 499, and sales have been affected compared to the Xbox 360. This is a mistake Sony doesn't want to repeat, because lost money can be easily recovered through online ordering and software sales. PS4 and PS4 Pro cost $ 399, so hopefully the price of PS5 will be similar.
PS5 backwards compatibility
Today, Sony is fully committed to its streaming subscription service PlayStation, while Microsoft has adopted another strategy for the Xbox One. Especially on the Xbox One X, backward compatibility is very popular-upgrading the game through the console makes the game look completely new.
As we said before, it has been confirmed that PS5 will be backward compatible with PS4 games.
PS5 change PSN ID
Now you can change the avant-garde PSN ID to a cooler name. Please note: If Sony thinks the new ID is offensive, change it to a placeholder so you have a chance to revert to your own ID or change it to a more appropriate name.
