PlayStation 5 Shipped 61.7 Million Units, Xbox Series Sold 28.3 WW as of June 2024

Despite the rocky economy of both Xbox and PlayStation, PlayStation consistently comes out on top. Even since the PlayStation 2 came out, it has always been ahead of the curve. However, the gap closed between the PS3 and Xbox 360, with the PS3 coming out by 7.5 million units. Skipping to the present day, the PlayStation 5 has sold a significantly higher amount of units, with a number of 61.7 million units being sold compared to the Xbox Series X|S, which has only sold 28.3 million units as of June 2024. In a video released by WSJ on YouTube, they […]

The PlayStation 5 Pro game boost mode could make the system the only one capable of running FromSoftware's Elden Ring at locked 60 frames per second, according to a new analysis. During the latest episode of their Weekly podcast, the tech experts at Digital Foundry attempted to get a first look at how the console's game boost mode could provide improvements to games that won't get PlayStation 5 Pro patches. The test was conducted using an RX 6800 GPU, as it is around 45% more powerful than the base PS5, just like the Pro, and features 60 compute units and […]

The PlayStation 5 Pro Focus on Image Quality Improvement in Performance Mode Is One of the Reasons the CPU Wasn’t Upgraded Over Base Model

The PlayStation 5 Pro CPU hasn't been upgraded over the base model, and there are a few reasons why, including the system's main focus. The tech experts at Digital Foundry recently commented on the lack of a CPU upgrade for the upcoming console by Sony, saying that price, compatibility, and size are among the reasons. Size, in particular, has been a concern for the Japanese company, even for the base model, as the part of the FPU was cut to reduce size and manufacturing costs. The reception of the PlayStation 4 Pro may also have played some part in the […]

Following PS5 Pro Pricing Debate, Sony Says PC Setup Can Be ‘Difficult’ Compared to Consoles

Ever since Sony lifted the shroud of secrecy that surrounded the upcoming PS5 Pro console, consumers and analysts alike have been debating the company's pricing choice. The mid-generation console refresh will cost nearly twice as much as the base PS5 in the United States and actually twice as much in Europe. Analysts believe it'll still be able to sell around the same as the PlayStation 4 Pro, which accounted for 20% of the total PS4 sales. Moreover, Digital Foundry's Richard Leadbetter commented that building a comparable PC would probably cost even more than the $700 Sony is asking. For its […]

PlayStation 5 Pro Ray Tracing Capabilities May Not Be Very Transformative; PSSR Has the Potential of Being a Huge Game Changer

The PlayStation 5 Pro comes with improved ray tracing capabilities over the base model, but they may not be very transformative. The PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution upscaler, on the other hand, could be a huge game changer. The tech experts at Digital Foundry recently commented on the three pillars of the PlayStation 5 Pro in a new video, highlighting how the system's ray tracing capabilities may not be as transformative as, for example, those introduced by NVIDIA's Turing architecture which powered the RTX 2000 series GPUs. For starters, the technical presentation hosted by Mark Cerny was very vague on the […]

PS5 Pro-Like PC Would Cost a Fair Bit More, Says Digital Foundry; RTX 4070 Is the Closest GPU

The long-awaited announcement of the PS5 Pro proved to be highly controversial due to Sony's pricing choice. Whereas the PS4 Pro launched at the same price as the base PS4 ($399), the PS5 Pro is $300 pricier than the base PS5, surprising fans and analysts alike (although the latter group still believes it'll sell as well as the PS4 Pro in the end). Some gamers have started wondering if they wouldn't be better off simply buying a brand-new PC. Speaking to IGN, though, Digital Foundry's Richard Leadbetter said a PC with similar capabilities would probably cost 'a fair bit more'. […]

Gamers were very surprised to learn the price of the PS5 Pro. Rumors suggested it could be around $500, but Sony went much more expensive. The mid-generation console refresh will be available in retail stores from November 7 at $700 (€800 in Europe), and that's without the disc drive and vertical stand. By comparison, the PlayStation 4 Pro only cost $/€ 399, the same as the base PlayStation 4 at launch. Will this massive price hike hurt the sales of the PS5 Pro?

Nintendo has officially announced that it is suing PocketPair, the creators of Palworld, in collaboration with The Pokemon Company. In a statement on NintendoCoLtd on X, Nintendo filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court on September 18, 2024. This lawsuit aims to seek an injunction against infringement and damages after PocketPair allegedly infringed multiple patents in Palworld. This news isn't surprising, except that it didn't come sooner. Palworld was first released in January 2024. In the game, there are plenty of "Pals" that look incredibly similar to the creatures in Pokemon, to the point that it's bordering […]
