SONY RUMOURED TO RELEASE NEW MODEL OF PS5 NEXT YEAR

According to trusted Sony insider Tom Henderson, the tech giant is aiming to release the “almost identical” console in 12 months’ time. According to Insider Gaming, the firm plans to produce 18.5 million units of the new model next year, and 12 million units of the original. In June, Sony revealed it had sold 21 million PS5 consoles globally. Sony recently upped the price tag of their PS5 in a number of territories – not including the US – due to “high global inflation rates”. y contrast, Xbox boss Phil Spencer has no plans to up the price of their consoles amid these “economically challenged” times. The executive insisted it would be the wrong move for them to make amid a global cost of living crisis. However, Microsoft can’t rule price hikes out in the future, with Spencer adding the firm is “always evaluating” business. | IOL Tech
