Everyone is eagerly awaiting the new generation of Sony console. So there are new reports and rumors about the PS 5 almost every week. From new variants of PS Plus to possible PS5 release date 2019 or 2020? everything is there. That’s why we’ve put together the most interesting news for you here.
PS5 release date 2019 or 2020?
Sony has the freedom to present PS5 to the world at any time, but the E3 video game show held every year in Los Angeles is a periodic event for major releases. In 2019, the Japanese company did not participate, but in 2020 it could come back to announce the PlayStation 5 for all the great things. E3 will take place from June 9 to June 11, 2020, so Sunday, June 7 or Monday, June 8 would be a good time to reveal all the details: Design, price, launch games… although it is likely that some information may emerge in the previous months to raise expectations. As for the exact release date, we would certainly say in the months before Christmas 2020. Consoles usually come out near this shopping season and are almost always one of the star gifts.
- PS4 was launched in November 2013 in the US and Europe (February 2014 in Japan).

Playstation 5 needs to compete with Google Stadia (Hardware Vs. Internet)
In an interview, Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida said that “you need to have a high-performance console at home if you want to play the latest games. This could mean that the new console would have to be so expensive and enough people would buy it for that price; a very risky assumption. Sony’s business strategy is probably to focus on hardcore players and further develop competition with Google Stadia. Google Stadia requires a very good and stable Internet connection, which is being accessed by more and more people, but it’s much more enjoyable to play if you have high-performance hardware on the go and don’t depend on the Internet.
Gonzalo APU suspected as Playstation 5 SoC
Playstation 5 benchmark tests are filtered on Twitter. Twitter user @TUM_APISAK filtered some data on the PS5. He is already known for his leaks to PC components_and probably has access to a CPU and GPU database. In this database apparently the last time he found data about a Gonzalo APU, which many suspects were a prototype of the Play Station 5 SoC. Accordingly, the prototype is said to have been incorporated into the development kits and may change prior to its release.
It is suspected that the price is very high
PlayStation 5 is still a while away from being released, but there are new rumors regularly. Now there’s speculation about the price. Considering the built-in hardware and the price of the components, it is very unlikely that PlayStation 5 will have the same price as PlayStation 4. A custom SSD hard drive, an eight-core processor from the AMD Ryzen series and a graphics chip from the AMD Navi series are said to be part of the PlayStation 5. These components should be impossible to sell for 400 Euros without incurring large losses. The forecast is 800 US dollars, which would double the price of the next generation. Very few people would believe it. The 60 GB version of Playstation 3 was sold for 600 US dollars, which was simply too expensive for many people and therefore PlayStation 3 got off to a bad start.
In an interview with Venturebeat, former CEO of Sony’s US subsidiary Jack Tretton talked about the transition to the next generation of consoles. Sony is well-positioned but also has more competition than in the latest generation change.
Sony’s PlayStation 4 was the clear market leader in the next generation and was able to beat its competitors. According to ex-president Jack Tretton, this gives them a good position. But he is also impressed by the new specifications offered by the PlayStation 5. It remains to be seen if the old strategy will work with this generational shift, because there is much more competition than the last time. Nintendo has become more prominent again and with Google Stadia there is also a completely new competitor. So let’s hope that competition stimulates business and that players benefit from it.
