Ngenkathi iMicrosoft ihamba nayo indlela ethokozisayo yamakhonsoli amabili njengoba bengena esizukulwaneni esilandelayo, ne-Xbox Series S ne-Xbox Series X zombili ziqondise izixuku ezihlukene ngezilinganiso zazo ezihlukene. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, u-Sony benza izinto ngendlela ehlukile. Yize i-PS5 izophinde ibe nokuhluka okubili - okukodwa okuzoba i-discless digital-only console - zombili ziyizicucu ezifanayo zemishini enezici ezifanayo, ne-Digital Edition ebiza u-$100 ngaphansi.
Ngokusho komhlaziyi wemboni uMichael Pachter, leyo ndlela akuyona ehlakaniphe kakhulu kwaSony, ikakhulukazi ngokombono webhizinisi. Ekhuluma neGamingBolt engxoxweni yakamuva, uPachter uthe uma kubhekwa i-xost yokwenza i-PS5, kuhlanganiswe nemali eyengeziwe eyenziwa nguSony kuwo wonke umdlalo wedijithali odayisiwe, basalahlekelwa ku-PS5 Digital Edition ngayinye ethengisiwe. U-Pachter uthi umthengi ojwayelekile ngeke athenge inombolo yemidlalo azoyidinga ukuze abuyisele ukulahlekelwa ku-PS5 Digital Edition.
"Ngicabanga ukuthi u-Sony ukushayele ngempela lokho, ngoba ngokwazi kwethu, izindleko zokwenza i-PlayStation 5 zingama- $ 450, ngakho-ke baphula ngisho nenguqulo engu- $ 500, kodwa balahlekelwe ngama- $ 40 noma ngaphezulu enguqulweni yedijithali," kusho. “I-disc drive ayifaneleki kangako. Ngakho-ke balahlekelwa u-$40, kodwa bathola u-$6 ngaphezulu ngomdlalo wedijithali kunalokho abebengakuzuza ngenye indlela. Ngakho-ke kuzofanele uthenge imidlalo eminingi ukuze uvale ukuhlulwa, futhi ngicabanga ukuthi mancane amathuba okuthi abaningi bathenge imidlalo eminingi kangako.”
Umhlaziyi uqhube wathi iningi labathengi lisazogcina lithenge i-PS5 SKU eyinhloko nge-disc drive ukuze babe naleyo nketho, ngaphambi kokungeza ukuthi u-Sony kungenzeka enze futhi athengise ama-consoles edijithali ambalwa.
"Empeleni angicabangi ukuthi abathengi abaningi bazofuna ukonga imali, ngicabanga ukuthi iningi lingakhetha ukuba ne-disc drive ukuze babe nenketho yokuyisa umdlalo wabo endlini yomngane wabo noma bayihwebe noma yini," kusho uPachter. . “Ngakho-ke ngicabanga ukuthi bayivuthele nge-Digital Edition, kodwa kunzima ukusho izinombolo zakuqala, ngoba isidayiswe yaphela, futhi asazi ukuthi bangaki ngayinye abayenzile. Kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, bazothengisa futhi benze izinhlelo ezimbalwa zedijithali.”
Yize kungakaze kube namagama asemthethweni avela kwaSony okufanayo, abathengisi basho ngokungananazi ukuthi banenani eliphakeme lama-PS5 asekelwe kuma-disc abazowathengisa kuze kube manje, ngakho-ke ukugomela kukaPachter kubukeka sengathi kusemalini. Izinto cishe zizocaca kakhulu ezinyangeni ezimbalwa kusukela manje (ikakhulukazi uma kungekho ukushoda okungaka kwama-consoles e-PS5 atholakalayo ukuze athengwe), kodwa okwamanje, kubonakala sengathi u-Sony uthanda i-PS5 esekelwe kwidisc phezu kwe-Digital Edition.
Engxoxweni efanayo, u-Pachter uphinde wakhuluma nathi mayelana nokutholwa kwe-Microsoft kwe-Bethesda, nokuthi kuzobathinta kanjani bona kanye no-Sony esikhathini eside nesifushane. Funda okwengeziwe ngalokho ngokusebenzisa lapha.
