New PlayStation hits market ready for battle with latest Xbox
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...
Video games have come a long way since the first rudimentary arcade machines emerged in the 1970s with offerings such as 'Pong', 'Pacman' and 'Space Invaders'.
The PlayStation 5 will enter a head-to-head battle with rival Microsoft's new Xbox, released two days earlier, with both hoping to capture the market in the run-up to Christmas.
Battle lines are being drawn up as the rivals prepare for the launch of products whose heady technical specs and exclusive game catalogue mix have been carefully honed to keep the fan hordes loyal.
The Japanese electronics firm said a major new feature of the updated console would be its immersive controller.
