Playstation 5
The latest generation consoles are here. It is time to witness another battle among the gaming consoles. So far, Playstation 5 has managed to outsold Xbox Series X and S. This news doesn’t come as a surprise as Playstation has been dominating the gaming console market for a long time. Sony has cleverly cultivated a sizable army of loyal gamers for the console.
The PS5 comes in 2 editions. These 2 editions are named Regular and Digital. The difference between both is the CD drive, which is present in the Regular edition but absent in the Digital Edition. Both editions feature an SSD drive for smooth and fast processing. The lack of a CD drive to incorporate Blu-ray discs reduces the price of the Digital edition, which is available at a cheaper price than the Regular edition console variant.
