In this article, we will outline the strength of PS5 in comparison with PS4 so you can decide whether to buy it or not. Then we get you some tips to buy PS5 online in India.

First look of PS5 stormed the Internet on the day it's released.

Why to buy PS5 online in India

The very first question is not where to buy PS5 online in India but why you should buy it instead of a PS4. To answer this question, we have briefly noted here the differences between PS5 and PS4 in some aspects for your reference.

PS5 vs PS4 comparison

First, let’s check a comparison of PS5 vs PS4 specifications. We also include specs of PS4 Pro so you can have a more thorough look.

Component PS5 specs PS4 Pro specs PS4 specs
CPU 8-core, 16 thread, up to 3.5Ghz (variable frequency) 8 Jaguar Cores, 2.1GHz 8 Jaguar Cores, 1.6GHz
GPU 36 CUs at 2.23GHz, 10.3 TFLOPs (variable frequency) 36 CUs at 911Mhz, 4.2 TFLOPS 18 CUs at 800MHz, 1.84 TFLOPS

Optical Drive Ultra HD Blu-ray Blu-ray Blu-ray
Video Output 4K at 120Hz 4K 8K  1080p
Many are still wondering which they should go for, a PS5 or 4 Pro.

When reading numbers on the above table, let’s pay more attention to the GPU capacity. While the PS4 can only read 18 CUs at 800 MHz and 1.84 TFLOPS, the PS5 can perform well with a doubled number of CUs and an eight-time higher figure for TFLOPS. This indicates 8 times more powerful guys!

Similar to other statistics, the PS5 shows its superior strengths in all criteria with impressive numbers. It’s also confirmed that PS5 has a new capability of ray tracing which appears in some PC games as Battlefield V or Metro Exodus. This innovative ability promises an amazing experience for gamers.

The only minus point that may prevent you from getting a PS5 rather than a PS4 is its price tag. Being the latest product from Sony, of course, PS5 won’t come at a cheap price. Though PS5 price hasn’t been announced yet, we do have some suggestions for you in the later section.

Here's an illustration of differences between PS5 and PS4.

With all the abovementioned pros and cons of PS5 vs PS4, we believe you have your own conclusion but let us make it clear for all.

Generally, PS5 is more powerful and faster than its predecessor with many upgrades from Sony. Also, buying a PS5 means that you already get all PS4 experiences, with even better functions.

So, if you can afford a PS5, there is no reason you opt for an old PS4, even a PS4 Pro. Go with the latest and you will never regret it.

PS5 price in India

It’s an irony that even Sony doesn’t know the exact price for a PS5 yet. We should also share that Sony said this in February and they haven’t offered a price till date.

However, there are a lot of rumours around PS5 price in India as well as in other parts of the world. Some say it will cost no less than $1,000 while others said it would be around $400 like a PS4.

According to our sources, Sony won’t pick such a price as $1,000 to limit the sales of its products during this time. They said they would try to balance the labour cost and the personnel cost. They would be profitable during the life of this product, so they would not opt for the expensive price tag like that.

Surprisingly, even Sony hasn't known how much PS5 costs.

Currently, the PS4 is sold at $299 while the PS4 Pro is listed on Amazon with a price range from $300 to $399. According to an estimation from PSErebus, the PS5 price in India or other parts of the world would be $499, a kinda reasonable pricing compared to Sony’s products and their competitors on the market.

However, this is just the suggested retail price, the actual price of PS5 in the Indian market could reach up to $600, translating to around 43,500 rupees. If including the tax, PS5 price in India is estimated at around 60,000 to 70,000 rupees.
