Massive PlayStation 5 Upgrade Looks a Promising Bet For Sony to Weather Price Rise Backlash

It’s been two years since Sony released their latest home console, PlayStation 5, which offers an elite gaming experience. However, Sony could not meet the vast demand since the console’s release, leading the console’s price to skyrocket. Recently, the Japanese multinational company released the latest model of the PlayStation 5.

A few weeks ago, there have been rumors about witnessing a new PS5 model at stores. Finally, Sony announced it to be accurate as it’s their new CFI-1200 model. However, some fans noticed the new PS5 is lighter than previous PS5 models. And this lighter weight might be a key for Sony to gain more profit.

Sony can make huge profits from the new PS5

The tech YouTuber, Austin Evans, recently broke down the latest Playstation 5 CFI-1200, alongside the older models, CFI-1100, and CFI-1000, to inspect the new PS5. After the teardown, he concluded Sony worked on every corner of the new PS5.

Then another significant change he noticed was that the new PlayStation 5 had a complete makeover regarding the cooling system. It had a much smaller heat sink compared to the older ones. Moreover, the heat pipes didn’t have much covering this time.

The CFI-1200 had a smaller motherboard than the previous two models. It is one of the crucial parts that can drastically affect a device’s pricing. He even reported that the latest model takes less power than the previous two models to work. There is a possibility that Sony cut a few corners to create the best PS5.
