Then, when some of the game previews were shown, like Spider-Man: Miles Morales, it became a goal of many to get the console. With the expandable storage and the ability to load games faster, it is an upgrade in many areas from the PlayStation 4. Even though it has been out for almost a year now, it is still tough to get. The PS5 has people raving.
Those who have it rave about the DualSense controller and how much of a game-changer it is. The visuals are stunning, thanks to the 8K resolution. While some people enjoy Xbox more, the PS5 is the latest innovation in gaming consoles.
