Home video game consoles "PS5" and "Xbox" released New model for the first time in about 7 years November 12, 11:43
As the game market is expected to expand due to the so-called nesting demand of people who spend their time at home, Sony and Microsoft have released new game consoles, and competition is fierce for the year-end sales season.
On the 12th, Sony started selling the PlayStation 5, which is the main home video game console and is the first new model in about 7 years.
The feature is that you can experience the game by vibrating the controller depending on the situation or making it impossible to press the button unless you apply force.
This year, as a countermeasure against the new coronavirus, we have forgotten to sell it at stores to people who do not have a reservation.
In addition, IT giant Microsoft released new models "Series X" and "Series S" of the home video game console "Xbox" on the 10th.
It is the first time in about 7 years that a new model has been released, and it is characterized by high-definition 4K image quality and high processing speed. At home electronics mass retailers in Tokyo, customers have been buying one after another immediately after opening.
A 30-year-old woman from Kanagawa Prefecture who purchased the product said, "I don't usually play games, but the number of people playing games in the nest is increasing, so I wanted to take this opportunity to start playing."
This year's game market is expected to expand due to the demand for nesting people who spend their time at home, and competition is fierce for the year-end sales season.
Sony "Games interact around the world even if movement is restricted"
Jim Ryan, president of Sony Interactive Entertainment, said that online games can interact around the world, even though movement is restricted by the new coronavirus. "I realized that games connect people. Post-corona I would like to maintain the community of PlayStation even in this era, and I hope that the connections between the people in this area will continue. "
