Released island-wide on Nov 19, 2020, the highly-anticipated PlayStation 5 (PS5) console was already sold out even before consumers could head down to the stores.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the iPhone 12 Max and Mini models that were released a month earlier on Oct 23, attracted shorter queues in contrast to past launches by Apple.<\/p>\n

What was the reason for the stark difference in response to two new models of entertainment technology? Could it be the frequency of release?<\/span><\/p>\n

The iPhone 11, Pro and Pro Max were available in Singapore on Sep 20, 2019, which means that it only took around a year and a month for the upgraded version to roll out.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the PS5 follows a different business model. Sony releases its models only after years of improving and innovating. The previous console, PS4, was launched on Dec 19, 2013.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_testimonial author=”- Mr Desmond Koh, 32″ job_title=”CEO & co-founder of The GentleBros” portrait_width=”33px” _builder_version=”4.4.7″ body_font=”Montserrat||||||||” body_text_align=”center” body_text_color=”#ffffff” body_font_size=”23px” body_letter_spacing=”2px” body_line_height=”1.4em” author_text_align=”center” author_line_height=”1em” position_font_size=”13px” position_line_height=”2em” background_color=”#233956″ width=”100%” max_width=”134%” custom_margin=”5px||||false|false” custom_padding=”27px|27px|25px|25px|false|false” body_font_size_tablet=”” body_font_size_phone=”18px” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” position_font_size_tablet=”” position_font_size_phone=”10px” position_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” position_line_height_tablet=”” position_line_height_phone=”2em” position_line_height_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off”]

From the Super Nintendo to PS1… we’ve just been getting higher and higher fidelity improvements.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.7″ text_font=”Libre Caslon Text||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”2em” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Raleway|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”50px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” header_6_font=”Raleway|700||on|||||” header_6_font_size=”16px” header_6_letter_spacing=”5px” header_6_line_height=”1.8em” max_width=”1320px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”|-415px|-2px|-616px||” custom_padding=”|0px||0px||” hover_enabled=”0″ header_2_font_size_tablet=”35px” header_2_font_size_phone=”25px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone”]

This raises the question: Do consumers feel compelled to replace the current model in hand once a newer one is available?<\/span><\/p>\n

In a poll <\/span>among 100 respondents aged between 14 and 30, HYPE found that 70 per cent of the respondents would not purchase a new phone model upon its release. If an upgrade is necessary, 93 per cent said they would consider price, practicality and brand.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the Super Nintendo to PS1, we saw a jump from 2D to 3D,\u201d <\/span>says <\/span>Mr Desmond Koh, 32, CEO and co-founder of The GentleBros. \u201cSubsequently, we’ve just been getting higher and higher fidelity improvements.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Choo Bin Yong, 32, indie game developer, agrees, \u201cPhotogrammetry and motion capture have been made more accessible and cheaper to use today along with game engines such as <\/span>Unity <\/em>& Unreal<\/em> being free to use.\u201d<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/hypesingapore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMAGE-2020-11-30-202812.jpg” title_text=”IMAGE 2020-11-30 20:28:12″ _builder_version=”4.4.7″ custom_margin=”||13px|||” locked=”off”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.7″ text_font=”Montserrat|300|||||||” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” custom_margin=”||12px|||”]

Professional gamer Kenneth Goh, 19, says: “New games like The Last of Us 2<\/em> and [trailers of] Cyberpunk 2077<\/em> that got released recently delivers remarkable degree of performance and image quality. The graphics of the [games] are utterly stunning.”<\/p>\n

Microsoft, a long-standing rival of Sony\u2019s, had released the Xbox Series X a few weeks before Sony\u2019s PS5. \u00a0IGN entertainment<\/a><\/span> found that avid gamers prefer the PS5. The reason could be the exclusive games that Sony has acquired.<\/p>\n

Besides an enhanced gaming experience that redefines expectations, here are some of the PS5’s other notable features.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The console allows for backwards compatibility for at least 100 games that were released for the PlayStation 4 since 2014.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. The console is easily taken apart to allow better and efficient cleaning. Sony even released a tutorial<\/a><\/span> on how to disassemble the PS5.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Sony offers two versions of the console: A digital and a disk space version. Players can opt for the digital version, the cheaper of the two which<\/span> retails at $599.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. With a built-in speaker and microphone installed in the console, players are able to communicate efficiently with others without the added use of external products.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          The PS5 is a prime example of technology\u2019s advancement. Although the progress is slow, the specs and features are certainly not compromised.<\/span><\/p>\n

          For the game developers, their main focus is to deliver quality games to avid and casual gamers alike.
