The PlayStation 5's operating system sounds like it's really going to prioritize speed and efficiency above all else, putting that high-speed SSD to very good use in the process. That's a far cry from the PlayStation 4's current dashboard, which almost instantly slows to a crawl as soon as you boot up a particularly intensive game. That'll hopefully be an annoyance of the past, however, as Kotaku's Jason Schreier has shared one of Sony's pitches to developers as it attempts to turn playing a PS5 game into something "as easy as Netflix".

Sony’s PlayStation 4 sales were down 25 percent year on year this holiday season, with the company shipping 6.1 million units for a total of 108.9 million as of the end of 2019. It’s the lowest holiday quarter for the PS4 since its launch period in 2013.

Sony’s various regional branches have historically acted largely independently but beginning last year PlayStation has been attempting to unify its divisions. We saw an example of this in a recent marketing campaign, which was consistent across the entire globe, but emphasised different brands depending on the region.

Back to the future.

One of the most iconic games of the PlayStation 4 generation, Guerrilla Games’ Horizon Zero Dawn, expanded on the open-world genre in new ways and collected a heaping serve of Game of the Year awards when 2017 came to a close.

PlayStation also stated that it is "re-thinking" the PS5 controller with a number of new features

Earnings from Alphabet and Shopify, hacking the Olympics, the Rise of the Rest rides again, Amazon is making grocery delivery free and letting you pay your electric bill via Alexa, and don’t update your HomePod, or you might brick it.

Death Stranding released last week onto the PS4, and it appears to be off to a great start, despite dividing critics and lacking mainstream appeal, showing that the name Hideo Kojima still has strong selling power and that Sony's absurd amount of marketing for the game is paying off. According to the UK market, it's the second biggest PS4 exclusive and the second biggest new IP released this year, behind only fellow PS4 exclusive Days Gone, another game that divided critics but sold very well.

No, Sony's PlayStation 5 won't use expandable SSD cartridges. The cartridge patent wasn't for PlayStation hardware, but instead for Sony's line of Toio kids toys.

A freshly leaked image of the PS5 has given us our first look at the DualShock 5 controller. As shared by prominent internet newshound AllGamesDelta on Twitter, the photo reportedly comes from an anonymous developer, and shows the next-gen console's devkit (the same one which Sony has confirmed as genuine) in all its V-shaped glory.

Sony has confirmed that it doesn’t consider itself to be in the business of making handheld gaming consoles any more. That means we shouldn’t expect a follow-up to the PSP or PlayStation Vita anytime soon, if ever.

Microsoft is gearing up to reveal Xbox "Scarlett" in full in the near future, and we've finally got some credible information on the target specs.

The only rare model created by the collaboration between Sony and Nintendo in 1991 will be put up for sale at the collector’s auction in February 2020. Yes, Tierry Diebold, the lucky owner of this must-have hybrid console, has decided to sell it at an auction at Heritage Auctions.

On Dec. 26, Sony was approved for a patent on a new type of PlayStation controller. The patent is on the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) database, but it isn’t quite clear what Sony intends to do with the controller. The design itself is similar to the familiar DualShock 4 design that most players are used to with the PlayStation 4. The new controller has the same layout for its face buttons, directional pad, and analog sticks. The only real departure on the front of the controller is that there’s no PlayStation button visible on the patent design.

Excuse us while we go gossip column for a hot minute, but several Sony executives have been spotted in the San Francisco area. Recently minted Worldwide Studios chief Hermen Hulst was the first to post that he was in the area, but then Sucker Punch communications boss Andrew Goldfarb and indie evangelist Shuhei Yoshida were both snapped in the city.

I was born on the south side of Glasgow. I was heading for a life of crime in my teens because I was in with some bad people. After a brush with the law, I headed as far south as I could go before I hit the sea. I ended up in Brighton.

Believe it or not, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One released almost seven years ago. For some, the time seems to have passed in the blink of an eye; for others, the wait for the next generation of consoles has felt like an eternity. Whether you're ready for it or not, times are changing. The big two have bumped against the upper limit of what consoles are capable of, and it's time for yet another jump into the future.
