Sony is planning a limited PS5 release in early 2021
Until now, there has been no visible appearance of the PlayStation 5, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s next-generation console. Last week Sony presented a PlayStation 5 controller, this time called the DualSense controller, no longer using the “DualShock” from the first PlayStation era.
The famous US news media Bloomberg has got the latest information about the PlayStation 5, which is quite a shock for all the fans who have been waiting for so long. According to Bloomberg, Sony will release the PlayStation 5 on a limited basis until the early fiscal year 2021, or until March 2021. Sony informed shareholders that they will release the previous 5 to 6 million units when the PlayStation 5 releases. The PlayStation 4 was released at the time of its release at the end of 2013, selling 7.5 million units in the first 6 months.
Further information from intel on Bloomberg, the cost of PlayStation 5 components is also quite high, so that Sony is having trouble determining the selling price. According to some game developers, they estimate the price of the PlayStation 5 will be around $499 up to $549.
Sony’s strategy ahead of the release of the PlayStation 5 is to use the PlayStation 4 as a “bridge” for new users to the world of console gaming. And also by introducing their network services, such as PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now. With this, Sony hopes to have a fairly stable number of users when the PlayStation 5 releases in a limited number. Currently the PlayStation 4 console on the market has 2 versions, namely the PlayStation 4 (Slim) for $ 300, and the PlayStation 4 Pro with a more powerful specification for $ 400.
The number of PlayStation 5 units at this release may change, following the development of Covid-19 which has global effects to date. This problem has changed the PlayStation 5 promotion schedule, so they have not been able to hold a press conference to announce the release date. Regarding the release date it will still be at the end of 2021, unless the Microsoft competitor announced the release schedule of the Xbox Series X release, PlayStation 5’s main rival.
