PlayStation 5 Price Prediction From Former Xbox Executive

Some time ago Sony has officially shown what their Next-Gen console is, the PlayStation 5. Where Sony has shown off the design of the console along with all its accessories and games that will come to the new console.

Seeing the spectacular appearance of the PlayStaion 5, one big question arises among gamers, namely how much is the price of the console? The reason is, all the high-tech features that Sony promises are present on this console. This makes everyone predict the price of the PlayStation 5 console will be much higher than its predecessor.

Approximately how much does the PlayStation 5 cost?

Until now, Sony has not shared the official price of the console at all. Even one of the figures in the video game industry who is also the former head of Xbox marketing, Albert Penello, has also predicted the price of the PS5. Albert expressed his opinion by posting a tweet that read “there is no way this console will cost more than US$499 (approximately Rp. 7 million)”.

Predictions from Albert Penello of course not without reason. because he has overseen the marketing of the Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One for many years. This certainly makes Albert have the ability to make it worthy to comment on the price of the latest Sony console.

In addition, he also mentioned a little about how the price will be the determining factor who ‘wins’ the console war in this generation. Previously. Sony itself has experienced difficulties because of the price issue. Precisely when the PS3 was launched at an astonishing price of US $ 599. This makes the demand for the PlayStation 3 console very low.

With that in mind, of course, Sony won’t make the same mistake by charging too high a price for its console. Furthermore, the chief executive of the PlayStation 5 has also confirmed that Sony will consider the price of its console to match the market’s capabilities.

PlayStation 5 Size

Besides the question of price, gamers are also curious about how big the size of this console is. The reason is, through the broadcasts that have been shared, it can be seen that the size of the PlayStation 5 looks quite large.

Responding to the size of the PlayStation 5 which is quite large, one of the designers from PlayStation, namely Matt MacLaurin, who served as VP of UX Design for PlayStation, also gave the reason why the PS5 console came with a much larger size.

MacLaurin revealed that one of the things that makes the PlayStation 5 console larger is that the Next-Gen console requires extra space to keep the temperature from getting too hot.

“The 7nm processor does provide excellent performance at a very small size. But it makes this technology give off a lot of heat, so we need space to cool it down.”

Even so, of course, this larger size makes the temperature owned by this console more well maintained. The reason is, this is different from the PlayStation 4 which is said to emit a very hot temperature. It’s worth waiting for the development of Sony’s Next-GEN console.
