The US tariffs have not yet entered into force, but there is already a console that has risen in price: PlayStation 5

by

Sony has not expected the tariff war which has unleashed the United States ends up impacting the prices of its console, and the price of PlayStation 5 In Europe, including the United Kingdom. According to Bloomberg, it will not be the only territory to suffer this price increase, since it qualifies as “likely“A future ascent also in the United States. Some reasons. The reasons that PlayStation wields In his blog They are “high inflation and fluctuation of exchange rates.” In Europe, this price change will only affect the digital edition of the console, which will cost 499.99 euros, 50 more than it cost so far, that is, the price that a standard PS5 had launch in 2020. This price increase occurs in almost the whole world, and in some areas such as Australia, also upload the price of the console with disc reader. The reader does go down. It is not the only oscillation in official prices, although luckily the record reader will suffer down: it goes from costing € 119.99 to € 79.99. In this way, if we add the updated PS5 cost of Digital and the disk drive, the increase is 10 euros with respect to the added price they had before this Sony announcement. The standard edition with Blu-ray unit does not change the price, staying at € 549.99, and PlayStation 5 pro either does its price of € 799.99. A history of uploads. It is already the second time that the Digital PlayStation rises in price: in August 2022 it has already suffered a rise from € 399.99 launch to 449.99. In that case, the standard PS5 also cost € 499.99 to the current € 549.99. At that time, The reasons used Sony They were “the high world inflation rates” and “adverse monetary trends”, very similar to the official reason for this new climb. Distance with respect to Xbox. This new climb places PS5 in an unknown position in front of its direct rival theoretical, the Xbox Series s From Microsoft, which reached the market at € 299, and has even lived occasional discounts, which places it in the range of 249-299 euros. The 1TB record version, appeared in 2023, is also cheaper than the PS5: € 349. Strategy or crisis? The repetition of reasons to justify this increase may sound like an excuse, but the truth is that the global economic situation is subject to the consequences, not yet calibrated at all, of the war war that is currently being unleashed. There are analysts who already point To that, providing a future rise in the United States, even more severe, Sony is using this increase in the rest of the world to mitigate costs: it is also done in areas such as Europe and the United Kingdom, where the tradition of PlayStation players is very high and these increases do not negatively impact as substantially as in other territories. PlayStation 5 Pro support. There is also another possible strategic reason for this rise that should not be ruled out: an attempt to redirect demand to premium products such as PlayStation 5 Prothat maintains its price. Approaching the prices of the cheapest option and the most expensive of its catalog, Sony makes this last option more attractive: the sales of PlayStation 5 Pro have not yet transcended, but above the problem of the rates, we could be facing a decision that would have ended up arriving in any case.

Microsoft will publish more in PlayStation than in Xbox

by

Last week the PlayStation State of Play He had to speak: we could comment on the appearance of a lot of new franchises, which is what It really gives life to a system. Almost all of them multiplatform, by the way, what made fans comment that Xbox may have abandoned the fight to focus on taking games for all formats, but PlayStation does not lag behind in regard to feeding his Catalog of non-exclusive. Multiplatform for all. ‘Monster Hunter Wilds’, ‘Lost Soul Aside’, ‘Borderlands 4’, ‘Split fiction’, ‘Directive 8020’, ‘Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater’ or ‘Tides of Annihilation’ will arrive at least, at PC separately from PlayStation, and many of them also to Xbox. This is the reality to be used to: once the war of exclusive is almost closed, The multiplatform takes control. The industry is clearly evolving in that direction. The hardware, for the soils. Microsoft has been experiencing a vertiginous fall in hardware sales. His reaction has led him to develop a strategy that has made almost all his exclusive games also come out on PC (strategy imitated by PlayStation, whom a few years ago we would not have seen franchises such as ‘Spider-Man’ or ‘God of War’ in computers) and, later, also in PlayStation. Without a doubt, strange times for a crisis economy and scratching benefit anywhere. Microsoft will publish more in PlayStation than in Xbox. This He affirmed from his X Ryan McCaffrey accountIGN editor, and that perfectly summarizes the paradox of the time we live. In fact, significant Xbox brands, until now insepociable from the Microsoft and PC console, will appear on the PlayStation: ‘Forza Horizon 4’, ‘Age of Empires’, and also recent titles that, given its origin (Bethesda, company owned by Microsoft), logically it was thought that they had the possibility of staying in the Xbox ecosystem, such as the last ‘Indiana Jones’. And although they have not been announced, everything suggests that games that already start with multisystem wood, such as “ South of Midnight ‘,’ Avowed ‘and, perhaps,’ Fable ‘, end up in PlayStation. Logos is what is sought. In one Xboxera interviewPhil Spencer specified a detail about its passage to other consoles that is still a trifle, but it is tremendously significant: for a long time in the ads of its games, logos of other platforms appear in which the titles will also come out. Spencer says that “I think it’s simply honest and transparent about where games will be available. (…) If a game comes out in Nintendo Switch, we will say it. If it comes out in PlayStation or Steam, too. People must Know what platforms our games can find. ” The policy that now Xbox is not machines, but the screensat its maximum expression. Everything reaches the PC. Only the most blinded fandom by the need to take sides between one of the consoles can deny the obvious reality that the platform that all the releases arrive is the PC right now. Steam, the most popular PC store, makes very notable efforts to consolidate the experience of a game, and machines such as the Steam Deck They are both laptops to play, but also consoles without more complications.

This game worked at 10 fps in PlayStation 3 and its creator believes that any company that was not Sony would have canceled it

by

Any game has beta versions that work with a much lower performance than they reach in its final version, but … 10-15 fps? Under that ridiculous frequency it moved ‘The Last Guardian‘In PS3, game that ended up appearing in PS4 after eleven years. Its person in charge was the Team Ico, signer of masterpieces for PlayStation as ‘ICO’ or ‘Shadow of the Colossus’. Do not underestimate the evocative power of those Team Ico games. Possibly their fame and prestige are the ones that led Sony to persecute with the project despite their weak technical results. Shuhei Yoshida, Sony manager for almost 40 years, who worked at the first playstation and was president of Sie Worldwide Studios, He told Taipei Game Show That a company that was not Sony I would have abandoned the game. Yoshida explained that years passed since they announced it, and began receiving questions about the game from Sony. The truth was that they were having problems Derived from the vision of fumito Ueda, responsible for the team, which wanted the protagonist creature of the game, the immense trico rodent, to move realistically. But PS3 could not manage the huge character on the stage and stuck at 10-15 fps. Finally, it was decided to pass the project to PS4 and schedule it from scratch. “A normal developer would possibly have abandoned it,” says Yoshida, but trusted Ueda’s vision and thought of ‘Ico’ and ‘Shadow of the Colossus’ fans, and decided that “whatever happens we have to launch it.” Finally, the game was announced in the E3 of 2015, when everyone already thought that the Ueda project was sentenced to cancellation.
