This week, Sony disclosed in its financial report that as of March 31, 2022, global shipments of PS5 were 19.3 million units, PS4 shipments were 117.2 million units, and the quarterly shipments of the two consoles were 2 million units and 100,000 units, respectively. .
Although the main model is selling well, the development of the new PlayStation has also begun.
The whistleblower Zuby_tECH recently discovered two hero posts from Sony, both of which are related to the development of new PlayStation machines. One is to participate in the development of small prototypes, and the other is to verify the new generation of system-level wafers.
NBCheck compared the research report of Goldman Sachs and found that the development of PS4 console began in 2008, which is five years before the official release. The PS5 console project is even earlier, in 2013. That is, to the final release, it took 7 years.
The PS6 release time given by the Goldman Sachs report is 2027, that is, from 2020, it will take 7 years to develop.
However, during this period, Sony will also make some updates to the PS5, but it is not the PS5 Pro or the PS5 Slim, but the PS5 Portable, in 2023.
Judging from the name, the PS5 Portable is very similar to the handheld form and can be stuffed into the pocket, but there is still very little relevant information.
If the PS5 Portable is finally settled, it means that Sony is more satisfied with the PS5 performance, at least it is not false against the Xbox Series. But Nintendo Switch, a tough opponent, has to find a way to teach it a lesson.
