The new PlayStation 5 is finally here and it’s time to decide which console you want. The PS4 has been the most popular console since its release in 2013, but there are a few reasons why you may want to make the switch. The first difference between the two consoles is that the PS5 comes with 8GB RAM whereas the Ps4 only has 4GB of RAM. This means faster load times, more complex games, and better graphics for players looking for a competitive edge against their opponents. Then all those new features come with this next generation of Playstation including voice controls, VR compatibility, and even social media integration! All these options can be found on your favorite game controller or through an app on your phone.
The new Ps5 is finally out and it’s time to compare the differences between the Ps4 and Ps5. The main difference you’ll notice with the new Playstation 5 is that there are no discs anymore. Every game will be downloaded and played through a cloud service, which Sony says will make games load much faster than before. This also means that you won’t have to buy physical copies of games anymore; instead, they’ll all be digital downloads. Another big change in the Playstation 5 is that it has 8k graphics capabilities, whereas other consoles like Xbox One X only have 4k capabilities (though many gamers say this doesn’t make a huge difference). What do you think about these changes? Let us know by commenting below.

The ps5 is the newest console on the market, and it’s time for you to make up your mind. Are you going with a ps4 or are you waiting until next year? The best way to answer this question would be by asking yourself these questions: -What games do I want to play? If no big titles are coming out soon that interest me, then maybe I should wait until the new consoles come out in 2020. -Do I have enough room for my television stand? Does it work with my current setup at home if they’re not compatible now? This may depend on what type of TV stand/shelving unit setup you currently have instead of just looking at how much space for controllers each has.
