A new PlayStation is not launched every year like a new iPhone. The current-generation PlayStation 4 was released in 2013, while its half-step upgrade, the PS4 Pro, was launched arrive four years later. Currently, the fifth generation, the PlayStation 5, and is now available in the market with it, some enticing reasons to upgrade.
In the last 8 years, Sony’s PlayStation 4 has been a huge success. Since it was launched at the end of 2013, it has sold over 110 million units. There are various reasons for this, including It was reportedly more powerful than the Xbox One, featured probably better exclusive titles, and was positioned first and foremost as a gaming device, as opposed to the Xbox One, which was pitched as a gaming and media centre.
Disregarding the Xbox One vs. PlayStation 4 controversy, the PS4 was a tremendous hit in Kenya. If you live in a city, you undoubtedly have a few pals who possess the PS4 and all of its versions. Some people have the original PlayStation 4, while others have the slim variant, and yet others have the even more powerful PS4 Pro.
However, now with the release of Sony PlayStation 5 online, there is a lot of excitement about the new-generation console, and it is understandable. It is tremendously powerful and features current generation hardware seen in high-end PCs.
Five Reasons Why You No Longer Need PlayStation 4:
1. The PlayStation 5 is not just much more powerful – its GPU and CPU are considerably more competent than those found in the Sony PlayStation 4 Pro – but it also loads games faster than ever before owing to its inbuilt NVMe SSD, and the new DualSense controller, in our opinion, is a game-changer. It employs haptic feedback and adjustable triggers to make games seem more immersive in ways you never imagined possible.
2. The PlayStation 5 has outstanding console specifications, including an AMD Zen 2-based CPU and a proprietary RDNA 2 GPU with over 10.28 TFLOPs of computational capacity. That means that most games will run at 4K/60, with some titles reaching 4K/120fps – and there will be support for 8K resolution in the future.
3. Ray tracing, a visually expensive method, is also supported by the PlayStatopn 5. Ray tracing, which can be seen in some of the most stunning PC games, such as Control, Metro Exodus, and Battlefield V, is an advanced technique of portraying light and shadows accurately. Unfortunately, these games cannot be stored on latest micro SD card.
4. However, because each ‘beam’ of light has its own projected source, the power required has only recently become feasible on a console.
5. In a side-by-side comparison, the Sony PlayStation 5 is an obvious recommendation, but the PS4 Pro’s pricing still makes it a frontrunner, especially when you consider that significant PS5 games like Horizon: Forbidden West are also coming to Sony’s last-gen system. Right now, the Play Station 4 has a wide library of titles to choose from, including God of War and The Last of Us 2.
The aged Sony PS4 Pro still has some life left in it, but with Sony now beginning to abandon the pro, time may be running out if you’re looking for the older, but still functional console. The PS5’s exclusive game catalogue is also expanding, which may entice consumers who want to play titles like Returnal and Demon’s Souls to purchase a PS5.
Summary
Unless you’re on a tight budget, there’s no need to acquire a PS4 Pro right now. Not only is the PS5 a more powerful, quicker machine, but Sony’s attempts to enable backwards compatibility imply that even if you buy a PS5, you won’t miss out on the best of the PS4’s experiences, and possibly those older than that, as well. Moreover, the ideal time to buy a PS4 was last year.
There were several offers available. On Black Friday, on various eCommerce stores in Kenya including Jamboshoppe. Currently, they have PlayStation 5 and also other latest games, gaming laptop and gaming accessories.
