PS5: What is the patent for a cartridge module from Sony?

Sony's still unpublished console wonder PlayStation 5 , according to the developer, has a lot to offer fans . It has now become known that the SSD will be so fast that loading screens will be a thing of the past in the future. The next-gen console can also convince with the AMD Ryzen chip and a GPU of the Radeon Navi series, which together enable the Sony fan to watch 5 videos in 8K on the PlayStation . As reported by Ingame.de, Sony originally wanted to present more information on PlayStation 5 and its games on June 4, 2020 , but postponed the PS5 live event due to the current situation in the United States *. With the words "we are withdrawing and want more important voices to be heard", Sony shows its solidarity to the protesters.

In addition, the design of the console controller has already been unveiled, but is controversial. The PS5 controller is said to be able to recognize the feelings of the player and to adapt the music on the PlayStation 5 accordingly. The fans can therefore be excited to see what they can expect this year. Despite the corona pandemic, Sony has already confirmed that the PS5 will definitely be released in 2020 *. A patent that has now been registered for an unknown cartridge module makes Sony appear extremely suspicious. What is the Minato game company planning for its fans ?

PS5: Sony is still silent on the patent for a cartridge module, but there is a suspicion

On June 2, 2020,  Sony's new patent for the mysterious cartridge module was received by the United States' official patent and trademark office . A few technical drawings are known that visually represent the mysterious module . Sony already registered a similar patent in 2019, which involved a storage medium. But this time is written in black and white on the official documents that this is a " game cartridge , so" Game Pak is. Could this be used for the next-gen console PlayStation 5 ?

From the official side, it has not yet been made clear to fans whether the PlayStation 5 will use a Blu-Ray slot or a cartridge slot . Perhaps this mysterious patent will soon make both possible. But it may also be just as good that Sony will only sell the mysterious module in Japan , since there are pretty crazy devices that can certainly use such a cartridge module . It would be surprising, however, that Sony applied for the patent in the USA and not in Japan . This increases the suspicion again, so it could have something to do with the PS5 console .

PS5: Will the Sony exclusive cartridge module be developed for a different console?

Just because Sony describes it as a " game module " doesn't mean that the unknown cartridge module is forcibly developed for the PlayStation 5 . There is also the possibility that Sony is working on a new handheld console , for example a PS Vita 2. Although the gaming company from Minato has not been good at mobile consoles in the past , it could now try again. What it in detail with the patent of the mysterious cartridge module is all about, is Sony the fans probably reveal sooner or later. But no result has to result from this recently registered patent , so that nothing could happen. Here it probably means: wait and see.
