The upcoming PS5 release date was leaked a few days ago via secret internal e-mail. According to the e-mail, the next PlayStation 5 is going to launch in February 2020 during a major Sony event. The PS5 is also expected to have beefed-up specs, an Ultra-HD Blu-ray optical drive and much more.

The PlayStation 5 will replace the PS4 and its slightly more powerful version of the PS4 Pro as well. Several industry experts have already weighed in on how powerful the upcoming PlayStation 5 is.

Recently, video game developer Toshihiro Nagoshi praised the performance of the upcoming PS5. According to him, “The processing power of PlayStation 5 is incredible.” Further elaborating on the power of Sony’s upcoming console, the game developer said, “If you would pour its power into graphics, it’ll be the best that we’ve yet to see.”

PlayStation 5 will waste less energy
If users enable it
September 23, 2019
https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/23/20879422/playstation-5-standy-power-usage

The next generation PlayStation console will be able to consume far less power in standby mode than the PS4. The power-saving feature appears to be an optional setting however, not the default. The news comes via a blog post titled PlayStation Joins Forces with the United Nations to Combat Climate Change.

”I am also very pleased to announce the next generation PlayStation console will include the possibility to suspend gameplay with much lower power consumption than PS4 (which we estimate can be achieved at around 0.5 W),” writes Jim Ryan, President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Both the PlayStation and Xbox consoles have been criticized for their high-levels of power consumption while idling. A 2014 report from the Natural Resources Defense Council showed the PS4 drawing as much as 8.5 watts in standby. That’s compared to about 137 watts when playing games or 89 watts when streaming video, the study concluded.

Rumor suggests both PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro will launch simultaneously
What kind of specs would a PS5 Pro have?
September 23, 2019
https://www.techspot.com/news/82011-rumor-suggests-both-playstation-5-ps5-pro-launch.html

Rumor mill: While its launch is almost certainly at least a year away, Sony has revealed plenty of details about the PlayStation 5, but there’s one thing it hasn’t mentioned: a PS5 Pro model. According to a new rumor, not only will there be a more powerful Pro version of the next-gen machine, but it will also be released alongside the standard PS5.

According to Japanese games journalist Zenji Nishikawa, Sony will be releasing a PlayStation 5 Pro alongside the base version of its next console. He claims on his YouTube channel that the machine will cost between $100 to $150 more than the standard PS5.
Why would Sony release both consoles together rather than wait a few years before launching the Pro? Nishikawa says it’s because the company has “acknowledged the interest in a high-end model and wants to give players what they want right from the beginning of the generation."

The biggest question, of course, is just how much more powerful could Sony make a PS5 Pro compared to the base console?

What the hell, Halo 5 takes up 98GB of diskspace, this is ridiculous. I wonder how long it will take to load. I think this trend of bigger games is a bad one. Just look at the Nintendo Switch Lite, I'm not exactly sure how big games are, but they load very quickly from the SD card and graphics are great.

It should load quickly, despite the size. I don't have an issue with the large size of games, as it allows for better graphics and it's not as if storage space is limited these days.

I recently got a PS4. Forza Hozion 4 was a 63GB download and takes up 75GB of disk space. Doom (the new 2016 version), which I have on disc needed to download a 62GB update, before I could play it. My PS4 has a 1TB hard drive, so the large storage usage of the games doesn't bother me.

OK cool, if loading of games remains fast I guess it's not a problem. Except for the fact that it will probably take a while to install and download games. I've looked it up, on the Nintendo Switch, a game like FIFA 18 is only 14GB big. And you can play it on TV and on the portable device. Plus games don't need to be installed. Weird that PS5 and Xbox don't offer this.

The Switch only has 720p resolution and comes with just 32GB of storage space. While you can expand the storage space on the Switch with a Micro SD card, my Xbox One came with a 1TB hard drive.

Sony confirms that the PlayStation 5 is launching Holiday 2020 with an improved controller
October 8, 2019
https://www.neowin.net/news/sony-co...hing-holiday-2020-with-an-improved-controller

While there have been rumors about the arrival of next-gen consoles for a while, [...] Today, Sony has also thrown its hat in the ring, confirming an identical launch period for its next console, the PlayStation 5.

Sony's next console iteration, potentially developed under the codename Erebus, was rumored to be powered by an eight-core Ryzen processor from AMD - which was later confirmed -, bringing it in line with the Xbox Scarlett, which uses an undisclosed Zen 2-based Ryzen chip and Navi custom graphics.
Jim Ryan, CEO and President of Sony Interactive Entertainment, had this to say:

"PlayStation 5. One of our goals with the next generation is to deepen the feeling of immersion when you play games, and we had the opportunity with our new controller to reimagine how the sense of touch can add to that immersion."
In a feature for WIRED, Mark Cerny, the lead architect of the PS5 - as well as the PS4 and PS Vita before -, cleared the misconceptions around the console's ray-tracing capabilities, stating that this feature will be hardware and not software-based.

Sony: An Update on Next-Gen: PlayStation 5 Launches Holiday 2020
Wired: Exclusive: A Deeper Look at the PlayStation 5

A retailer is taking PlayStation 5 pre-orders
Despite not knowing the console's price
October 11, 2019
https://www.techspot.com/news/82304-retailer-taking-playstation-5-pre-orders.html

What just happened? Sony earlier this week revealed several details about the PlayStation 5, including its “holidays 2020” release window, but one thing it never unveiled was the price. Yet one Dutch retailer has put the console up for pre-order.

Netherlands-based 76 Game Mania is allowing the country’s residents to reserve a PlayStation 5 for €50 ($55). When the next-gen machine is launched, that money will be taken off its price.
As reported by Lets Go Digital, reserving the PS5 ensures buyers are placed on a waiting list to get one of the consoles from the first batch of inventory that 76 Game Mania receives.
It’s suspected that the PlayStation 5 will be around $500 when it arrives in time for the holidays next year.

We now know that the PS5 will feature a redesigned controller that replaces the rumble technology with haptic feedback. It also has a solid-state drive and optical drive that doubles as a 4K Bluray player, as well as hardware-level ray tracing support. Games, meanwhile, will come on 100GB discs, and their installations can be configured, meaning users can install only a single-player campaign, if they wish. Additionally, there’s its 120Hz/4K support and backward compatibility.

I have just read that games will load very fast on the PS5, thanks to a super fast SSD, so that sounds good to me. But I didn't realize that the Switch worked differently, it's old skool. I remember back in the days, you also didn't have to install games on the Sega Mega Drive, but PlayStation and Xbox work more like PC's.
