With pre-orders pointing to a record launch, market leader Sony is counting on big-ticket exclusive games like “Spider-Man: Miles Morales” to keep the edge over its US challenger. “It’s Covid, so I guess not many people want to rush to a launch,” said Theo Pasialis as he collected his PlayStation. Sony expects to sell 7.6 million PS5 consoles by the end of March — beating the performance of the PS4. “I think that the PlayStation 4 was so successful that Sony has cultivated a much bigger fan base for PlayStation content,” he said. The PS5 is priced at $500, like the Xbox Series X, while a version without a disk reader costs $400.
