Sony has indicated that the PlayStation 5, which made its debut in international markets in November 2020, is approaching the final phase of its product life cycle.

According to a report from Bloomberg, PlayStation Senior Vice President Naomi Matsuoka mentioned that the PS5 is entering “the latter stage of its life cycle.”

This revelation comes as the tech giant struggles to meet its sales targets for the console, with expectations set for a decline in sales moving forward.

Despite the lack of detailed information provided by Sony, the announcement has sparked curiosity among the gaming community. The PS5’s compatibility with a vast majority of PS4 games, alongside other factors such as the anticipated release of major titles such as GTA6, has left many wondering about the future direction of Sony’s gaming division.

As the PS5 navigates through its concluding years, gamers are eagerly awaiting to see what new developments and innovations Sony will introduce to the market next.

Malta with Highest Increase in Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Despite EU-Wide Drop

Feb 18 2024 Share

Malta has experienced the highest rise in greenhouse gas emissions within the European Union for the second consecutive quarter.

This increase contrasts with the EU’s overall reduction of 7.1% in emissions during the third quarter of 2023. Notably, the sectors that saw the most significant decreases in emissions compared to the same period in 2022 were electricity and gas supply (-23.7%), households (-6.5%), and manufacturing (-4.9%).

Among EU members, Malta is one of four countries where greenhouse gas emissions have increased. However, this rise comes alongside economic growth, with Malta reporting a 7.1% increase in GDP.

The other two countries that saw both emissions rise and economic growth are Cyprus, with a 2.5% GDP increase, and Slovakia, with a 1.1% increase.

In contrast, the largest reductions in greenhouse gas emissions were recorded in Estonia (-30.7%), Bulgaria (-18.6%), and Germany (-12.2%), indicating a varied environmental performance across the EU.
