Recently, a rumor in which Sony's possible strategy was mentioned for the next-gen. A reputed leaker mentioned that the company would be preparing the launch of two PlayStation 5 models. The first, a standard and economic one; the second, one Pro and more expensive, destined to compete in technology with Microsoft's powerful Xbox Series X, which would also bet on a double model. A possible scenario that has begun to trigger concern among users for a very simple matter: the price.
According VFXVeteran, there would be no mid-generation updates. Both those of Redmond and those of Japan would bet on launching two models of their consoles, although Microsoft's latest rumors spoke of a discarding of the economic model, to offer different options to players. The standard model of both, oriented to the general public, would oscillate approximately 9 TFLOPS of performance, at least in the case of PS5. In the meantime, the Pro model would go for the 12 TFLOPS of Xbox Series X.
While this strategy is positive because it allows the consumer to have more purchase options, it already poses a dangerous barrier to sales. In NeoGAF, forum from which this rumor arises, users have not taken a second to be worried. And it is that the same VFXVeteran points out that, although there are no established price figures yet, the most advanced models could rise to 600 dollars, or 600 euros in European territory for the traditional dollar-euro conversion.
Of course, it should be noted that this is information yet to be confirmed, but the past of this user gives reason to think that it is not too far from reality. We will have to wait longer to see which movements Sony and Microsoft carry out with their new consoles to see if the next-gen arrives with four consoles under the arm instead of two.
Imminent revelation of PlayStation 5?
Microsoft has shown many more letters than Sony in the presentation of its new console. We already know that Scarlett is Xbox Series X and we even know many of its technical characteristics. The Japanese still have to move token in that direction, and the last thing we could know is that it will move very soon. PlayStation 5 could be shown to the world in less than a week, although it would be done through a short teaser to know its shape.
Details like prices, release dates, catalogs and others They remain in the air. We already know of several third-party games that look at the new generation and have confirmed it, but it still remains that Sony shows its first-party cards facing PlayStation 5. Will they bet on some of the games we have bet on AlfaBetaPlay?
