Sony has once again made headlines by announcing its plans for the next generation of gaming consoles. The next generation of PlayStation consoles has already been discussed by thousands of gamers and we’ve collected everything that has been said up until now and what can be confirmed for the PS6.
While Sony did not sell any PS5 units in 2020, the company has been working hard to develop its next-generation console. The next generation will be better than the previous ones because they will focus on making improvements to their components and their prices.
Possible release year: 2027
As a general rule, the current game system’s life cycle is between six and seven years. You don’t need to wait until the year 2027 to get the next generation of consoles. Given the fact that the PS3 was released in 2006, the PS4 in 2013, and the PS5 in 2020, there’s nothing crazy about the date of November 2027 for the release of the PS6.
One factor that influences this choice is the size of the PS4 Pro model. Sony has decided to follow Microsoft’s lead by making its next-generation console even smaller and more powerful than the Xbox One. It seems that the business management plans continue to follow the guidelines already established.
What the PlayStation 6 can bring
There are some weaknesses in the PlayStation 5 that can definitely be improved upon in the next generation. For instance, the lack of use for the A2DP (Audio/Video Distribution Profile) – This profile allows you to connect with most Bluetooth devices, which saves money when using other headphones instead of just Sony ones. It is a business strategy, aimed at increasing the sale of products and services, but technological advances continue to expand.
Better ergonomics than the DualShock 6 controller. Sony’s control systems are also improving, and the PlayStation DualShock line is one of the most well-respected brands. However, in the Ergonomics section, the control buttons are smaller than the ones found on an Xbox controller. Even the Pro model for the Nintendo Switch is better than the Joycon models in some games. One thing that helps is having some degree of autonomy, and although we can use our PS4s while they’re playing, the PS6 can help solve this issue.
One way to address these challenges is through solar wireless power transfer (SWPT). The ability to play games without needing to connect them to a computer via a cable will be an added bonus for gamers who own a PlayStation 4.
Stories about the power of the PlayStation 6
We don’t know for sure yet what the technical specifications of the PS6 will be. However, the latest PS5 console has an exclusive AMD processor called Navi 10, which is built for gaming. It features ray tracing technology and supports 4K HDR video playback. We don’t know exactly when the next big thing will come out, but it will probably happen within four or five years.
We expect to have an APU produced by AMD for our next-generation consoles. Let’s talk about the Zen 5 core architecture and RDNA 3 graphics. forward in this situation.
Compared to the PS4, the PS5 has five and a half (5.5) times more processing power. If the PlayStation 6 follows these rules, then we can talk about 50 trillion operations per second (teraflop), which will certainly be different depending on the evolution of GPU technology.
Additionally, PS5 supports 4K resolution at 120 frames per second (FPS) via its HDMI 2.1 port. It is anticipated that the next-generation PlayStation console will feature an 8K display with a refresh rate of at least 120 Hz. With new TVs coming out with that resolution, gamers will soon get their hands on a unique game experience.
The weather
When a new video game system is released, price is often one of the factors influencing whether it succeeds or fails. Because the PS3 and PS5 launched at high price points, they took longer than expected to sell out. For the PS6, we can expect prices ranging from 399 Euros to 599 Euros. It’s expensive, but Sony’s customers know their way around PlayStation consoles, so they’re not afraid of them. And if they see an offer for a discount, they’ll take advantage of it.
We don’t yet have enough information to say whether Sony has regained its position as leader in the home video game market, but we do believe they’re working hard to do so. A strong battle against Xbox and Nintendo prepares a fresh chapter for Sony.
