Sony reveals its PlayStation 5 console

Unlike the Xbox series X, the PlayStation 5 can support both a horizontal and vertical orientation, unlike the Xbox Series X. This should make the console a lot easier to store in today’s home entertainment systems. 

With their PlayStation 5 console, Sony will release its DualSense controller, a first-party charging dock, an HD camera and a Digital Headsets. At this time we do not know which accessories will ship with the console, and wich add-ons will cost a premium.   

Sony has also confirmed that it’s PlayStation 5 will be releasing with an all-digital variant, a console which will be unable to use disks for game installation. This shortcoming will also limit the systems backwards compatibility, as it will only support digitally purchased games. Sony’s PlayStation 5 Digital Edition will likely release with a lower price than Sony’s Blu-ray enabled console, though it remains to be seen how much either unit costs. 

At this time, Sony has not confirmed the PlayStation 5’s release date or pricing.
