PS5 price was pre-determined
The PlayStation 5 will hit the market very soon, but the head of Sony Interactive Entertainment Jim Ryan ensures that the company will not stop releasing games for older consoles for a long time.
“The PS4 community will be extremely important to us over the next three to four years. Hopefully, if we do our job well, a lot of players will switch to PS5, but tens of millions of people will stick with the current device. “
A surprise was the announcements of Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Sackboy A Big Adventure and Horizon Forbidden West for PS4, which were previously promoted as games for the new Sony console.
“Nobody will be disappointed. The PS5 versions of these games have been created from the ground up to take advantage of the basic features of the device. We will also give the option of a free update to PS4 users. People have a choice. I am really very satisfied. “
The head of the SIE says that of the thousands of games tested for backward compatibility, “99%” can be played on the new console. He claims that the price for the two versions of the PS5 console at $ 499 and $ 399 was determined in advance. And this is an indirect denial of information about the alleged answer to the price from the Xbox Series X.
