Sony PlayStation 5 specs announced

PlayStation chief engineer Mark Zerny talked about the technical parameters that the fifth generation of Sony’s game console will have. If we compare the characteristics of the PlayStation 5 with its direct competitor in the face of the Xbox Series X, then the brainchild of Sony loses a little to the product from Microsoft. This is what insiders previously reported.
