Sony: Before the PlayStation 5 is a new PS4 console appears

Although all are currently talking about the new PS5, Sony also seems to be working on a new edition of the Playstation 4. With 7nm chips refreshed, the Slim version could be replaced by a new console this fall. This should be more compact and especially cheaper.

Every day, Sony fans are launching new rumors around the upcoming Playstation 5. A recent leak speaks not only of the new generation game console, but especially of the popular PS4. If you trust the recent speculation, the Japanese manufacturer will reissue the Playstation 4 this year. The new AMD processors, manufactured using the 7 nm process and having a die size of 110 mm², are the basis. In comparison, the original PS4 measured 348 mm² (28 nm) and the current PS4 Slim, 208 mm² (16 nm).
Sony surprise his fans with a refresh of the PS4 in front of the PS5?
The fact that even before the release of the Playstation 5, an update of the PS4 on the program, seems doubtful at first, but would fit with the Sony output model. Finally, the first Playstation 4 appeared in November 2013, followed three years later by the PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro. Thus, the marketing of an improved console in the fall of 2019 would correspond to the manufacturer's three-year cycle. The Escape, however, calls for the re-release at a lower cost of the normal Playstation 4, which has to pay US $ 199 between September and November early.

It is unlikely that the PS4 Pro, more powerful, receives an update, because it does not seem financially interesting for the Japanese and the starting signal for the PlayStation 5 is supposed to be too close. The release of the PS5 console is currently scheduled for the autumn of 2020, a year after the possible update of the current generation. If the rumors materialize, Sony seems to try to boost sales of the PS4 for this year's Christmas market. Similarly, Microsoft has also sent a new version of the Xbox One S in an all-digital version without an optical drive.

The summer is warming for the consoleros

Announcements for the next generation of consoles and new services are expected this summer. In particular, the E3 2019 games fair should be particularly interesting for players. Sony remains away from the conference, but is likely to comment on the events unfolding away from it on the Playstation 5 and probably also on the PS4's update. For these, there should be a "State of Play" stream, for the PS5 probably from the PlayStation experience in the fall or winter.
