Although the PS5 has the advantage at the moment, an increase could change the course of this generation currently . In related issues, Sony has patented a new control for PS5. Similarly, the PS5 receives a substantial update.

Editor's note:

It is true that Sony cannot afford to increase the price of PS5 right now. Considering that the sales of the Xbox Series X | s are better compared to what is seen with the One, the increase of PS5 could cause its competitor to have an advantage in this generation.
