Jim Ryan: Sony Considered Series S-Style PS5, Claims ‘Reduced Spec’ Devices Don’t Do Well
Sony and Microsoft are approaching next-gen in two markedly different ways. PlayStation 5 will launch with two SKUs, a disc version and a disc-less digital edition. Both PS5s feature the same specs aside from the disc drive. Xbox Series S, on the other hand, is a low-spec iteration of its more powerful brother?Xbox Series X. While Sony considered a Series S-style device, the manufacturer ultimately decided against it. Apparently, such an endeavor would have proven too ?problematic.?
Sony Interactive Entertainment?s CEO and President Jim Ryan noted as much in an interview with AV Watch, translated by Video Games Chronicle. According to VGC, the PlayStation executive first broached the topic by making known his respect for ?every competitor?s decision and their philosophies.? Still, Sony remains confident in its own next-gen strategy.
