Every gamer out there knows that a PC is one of the most superior gaming devices you can get your hands on. But there&rsquo;s the issue of portability as some people would like to bring their devices around and play hence a console would be better.

&nbsp;
Sony had released the PlayStation 5 in November 2020 and it&rsquo;s no stranger that everyone wants to get their hands on it. If you were to go to any Sony store around Malaysia or even other stores around the world, it&rsquo;s likely that you&rsquo;ll need to pre-order the device and we wouldn&rsquo;t know how long it will take to even get our hands on it.
The demand is so high that Sony couldn&rsquo;t keep up with it and had also cut down their production estimates from 16 million units to 15 million units by March 2022 due to the global silicon shortage.
So, what&rsquo;s Sony&rsquo;s solution to the high demand?
Well, since most people can&rsquo;t get the PS5, they had decided to make more PlayStation 4 consoles instead to cater for the high demand.

&nbsp;
According to Bloomberg, Sony had initially planned to end the production of the PS4 in 2021 but plans had changed. Sony says that manufacturing the PS4 would be better as they are still using older components which cost way less than the PS5. Plus, their parts are more readily available.
Sony believes that by continuing the production of the PS4, they can ease the demand for the PS5 and also give themselves some leeway to deal with their manufacturing partners.

&nbsp;
As of now, Sony denies all plans on discontinuing the PS4 production. To date, the console is dubbed as one of the best-selling consoles ever. Sony Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan said that they wanted to make the transition from the PS4 to the PS5 as quick as possible back in 2019 but due to the pandemic, their plans had to undergo some changes.
Currently the PS5 has announced a growing list of games which will be exclusive to the console with big titles which can run much better on the newer hardware. One prime example would be Cyberpunk 2077 which had a ton of issues running on the PS4 which included graphical glitches and bugs which completely ruined the experience for console gamers.
Check out he video gameplay of Cyberpunk 2077 when it first released on console:

&nbsp;
If one were to buy the new PS4 today, there&rsquo;s no answer if it will be able to support newer games beyond 2022. If you&rsquo;re overseas, you can opt out to get yourself an Xbox Series X and Series S but it&rsquo;s unavailable in Malaysia.
About the Xbox&hellip; Bad news&hellip;

Xbox had announced that they will be discontinuing their Xbox One series which means many people would be flocking to get their hands on the consoles before another shortage happens.

&nbsp;
Well then&hellip; Looks like it&rsquo;s going to be difficult for the die hard console gamers to get their hands on either consoles. And that is why I personally have opted to get a PC instead.
The only downside of a PC would be the cost of it as a graphics card alone can cost the same price if not more than the console itself. However, it&rsquo;s still something to consider if you would like higher quality graphics gaming.
For those considering the PS5, what are your thoughts on it? Let us know!
