It’s a common fact in the video game industry: manufacturers often release new models of their consoles, without users even realizing it. Be careful, we are not talking about a “slim” or “pro” version here, which for the moment are really different objects, but new series with minor changes: the PS5 will therefore be no exception to the rule and like the a certain Akatama pointed out on Twitter, Sony is preparing to market a PlayStation 5 “CFI-1115A “, where the current model is called”CFI-1015A “.
So, concretely, what is changing? In reality, some internal elements will change slightly, so that production probably costs a bit less for Sony. Maybe by also optimizing specific materials, the shortage can be curbed slightly (or maybe not). This series “11XX “should therefore not change anything for us, the players, once the controller is in hand, but it’s still important to see Sony’s interest in slowly evolving its beast over time.
For the PS4, it was precisely the same story: first put on the market in the “10XX” line, the “11XX” model landed a year later. From now on, we hope that future series will allow the PS5 to perform even better: you never know.
