Moreover, Sony Interactive Entertainment has opened a new PlayStation history website to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the brand, which began with the release of the original PlayStation in December 1994. The website also revealed that the PlayStation 2 sold a total of 160 million units.
Sony is reportedly working on a portable PS5 console that will rival Microsoft’s new Xbox gaming handheld and Nintendo Switch and its successor, according to a recent report by Bloomberg. The new portable PS5 is years away from launch, and Sony may decide against releasing it, however.
Sony is also in talks to buy the massive Japanese entertainment conglomerate, Kadokawa. Kadokawa is known for several anime franchises such as Bungo Stray Dogs, The Rising of the Shield Hero, Date A Live, and countless others. Additionally, they also own video game companies, namely Armored Core and Elden Ring developer From Software.
