This year's console industry is also very exciting. Sony and Microsoft will update their console product lines.

According to the latest reports from foreign media, Sony executives said during a recent earnings call that the company has still not decided on the price of the new PlayStation 5, but they are currently making difficult choices because the cost of the product will increase with the performance improvements. Less, and continuing to sell for $399 is no longer realistic.

Previous reports said that the manufacturing cost of Sony PS5 has reached US$450. Including operating promotion, research and development and other expenses, the total cost is estimated to be more than US$500, while the material cost of PS4 is US$381, although each generation of PS5 will lose money. It will be released at a price of $399, but the possibility of setting it at $399 is slim.

As for the official launch time of PS5, Sony executives hinted that the release of the new console should be by the end of the year. If there was a possibility of earlier, the epidemic has eliminated this possibility (the coronavirus outbreak will affect product launches, manufacturing and the global economy).

According to the leaked configuration, the Oberon chip used by the PS5 will provide 36 sets of AMD Navi architecture computing units with a frequency of 2000MHz, resulting in a GPU computing power of 9.2TF. There are also reports that the PS5 GPU can switch between 3 modes for backward compatibility with PS4 and PS4 Pro games. The normal mode is "gen 2", running next-generation games.
