There’s still more than a year to go before Sony finally unveils its PlayStation 5 console, but despite this timeline, rumours are already flying left, right and centre about the device.
The latest rumour from Pushsquare gives us a hint about the PlayStation 5’s price, and indicates that it may not be as expensive as previously expected.
Pushsquare points to a recent Sony financial briefing, in which the tech giant claimed that it’s focusing on ‘market penetration and market acceptability’ with the PS5.
While this doesn’t exactly say much about the price, Pushsquare claims that Sony ‘wants to set a price that consumers will accept.’
It explained: “This is going to prove a balancing act: the system sounds like an absolute beast with very little compromise on specifications, so it’s not going to be cheap.
“Affordable, though – that appears to be the aim.”
The rumour comes shortly after Sony finally confirmed the name and launch date for its next generation console.
As expected, the console is called the PlayStation 5 , and will launch in time for ‘Holiday 2020.’
In a blog about the news, Jim Ryan , President and CEO of SIE, said: “Since we originally unveiled our next-generation console in April, we know that there’s been a lot of excitement and interest in hearing more about what the future of games will bring.
“Today I’m proud to share that our next-generation console will be called PlayStation 5, and we’ll be launching in time for Holiday 2020.”
