posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
President and CEO of PlayStation console will include a feature to suspend gameplay at a lower power consumption than the PlayStation 4, with an estimated power consumption of around 0.5w.
Ryan noted that if one million s of the console use the feature, it will save electricity consumption equal to 1,000 U.S. homes.
The feature is part of "Playing for the Planet," Sony's partnership with the United Nations Environment committee.
Sony previously Takashi Mochizuki reported in April that Sony's next-generation console will not launch within the next 12 months. The console will be backward-compatible with PS4 games, as it is partly based on the PS4's architecture.
Sony has shipped more than 100 million units of the PS4 console worldwide as of June 30.
