Comparison: Features of PlayStation 5-PS5 vs PlayStation 4-PS4

Differences and Comparison of most important features of PlayStation 5 (PS5) vs PlayStation 4 (PS4) vs PlayStation 4 Pro (PS4 Pro): Which is a better console?

According to Ryan, most important features of PS5 have not been revealed yet. We do not know how these hardware related features will separate PS5 from previous consoles.

In an interview with Business Inside Japan, Sony president & CEO Jim Ryan talked about unique attributes of PS5. He mentioned the improvements of Sony over previous console such as haptic feedback in controller, 3D audio, & an SSD which lets PS5 work tremendously faster than previous generation. But Ryan also said that there are more important features of PS5 which have not been revealed yet. These unannounced attributes separate PS5 from current consoles.

So it means that we haven’t seen the real potential of PS5 yet & it might be able to do things we are not expecting.
