Sony could bet on the strategy of the double launch of consoles with its jump to the new generation. Although there are still many mysteries around your next hardware, especially those surprise features that have already predicted, more rumors have begun to emerge that point to the possible launch of two models of Playstation 5. On the one hand we would have a PS5 Pro more powerful and more expensive, and on the other one Standard PS5, less capable at a technical level but also more affordable.
PSU collects an affirmation of the renowned Japanese journalist Zenji Nishikawa, in which he draws the plans of the Japanese firm for the premiere of its new generation console. According to Nishikawa, «there are two consoles per company. Mid-generation updates will arrive at the launch to be present during the 7-year cycle ». Microsoft's movement had been listening for some time, although the last thing about it was that they were going to focus on just one model in the end.
However, in the case of Sony the possible double premiere for the next-gen was unknown. Again in the mouth of this journalist, the video game firm would launch ana PS5 base with a performance of 9 TFLOPS and also a PS5 Pro that would have the necessary characteristics to keep up of the specs of Xbox Series X. Something that, in addition, house with recent leaks that indicated that Sony and Microsoft would not be too different in terms of performance.
Without specifying more, Nishikawa says that the most powerful model would be more expensive and that, although he has not heard prices, he bets on the 600 dollars of launch. We will have to see if that is the strategy that the PlayStation house follows. In fact, we could leave doubts in no time.
