I think it'd be smarter to spend that marketing $ in territories where they need more eyes on the brand instead. They'll be ok in the US without a Super Bowl ad. It's Europe they need to gain market and mind share in.
Plan it? If there's an event in the coming weeks then it's been planned for a long time now. Then it's just a matter of sending out invites to the press with enough advance warning for them to reasonably make arrangements to attend and we're good to go.
Klee mentioned Feb publicly in a post, and then mentioned end of Feb to a member in a PM. There are other reasons to think Feb could be the month like David Jaffe mentioning 4 weeks as the time period until we get more info back in January. Then there's the point that SIE handed over the controls of Destination PlayStation in Feb to a major distributor instead of handling it themselves, which many have taken to indicate that they're doing so because they've got a big event that they're planning. Then there's the fact that GDC is in mid-March and a lot of info will leak from that whether Sony wants it to or not, so it makes sense to get out ahead of that and control the message themselves which would likely be in Feb.
We know from a Shawn Leyden interview last year that retailers normally make their purchasing decisions for the rest of the year in Feb, which is what Destination PlayStation is all about. It'd be hard for retailers to make decisions about the PS5 if no info has been provided. Now maybe they will talk about it at the DP event, but there's a decent chance info would leak from that too.
Overall it makes sense for us to get more info in Feb, but at the end of the day we can only sit back and wait.
Anyone mentioning February is just guessing (but could still end up being correct).
Sony already has everything planned but they just haven't talked about it yet.
I'm in a similar industry and generally, these events are starting to be planned 3-6 months in advance. However, that does not mean the public would be aware, since generally invites to events like this are sent 2-4 weeks ahead of time, depending on the travel season and location.
Even when my own company goes to major conferences, that takes months of planning. So there's at least a few people within Sony that have mapped out what's coming and are working their way towards it.
Jason recently said that he has no idea if there is a reveal in February. And If I'm being honest, I don't think he was just being coy. I really don't think he knows.
Honestly it doesn't matter that Sony doesn't show us the goods this month. Now don't get me wrong, I think they will February but it's not like they have to. Things will prob get leaked in March but also it's Sony's product and they can decide when to show it. They don't owe us anything.
Right now we all know that two consoles are coming out before the holidays. Most console gamers will get one or the other and some will get both. That will all be dependent upon the initial reveals besides the crazy loyal fans that will buy no matter what. So honestly people need to stop with all this Sony is being arrogant or stupid with not showing us the goods. They are going to show us when they are ready and their marketing team thinks it's the best time. If it's compelling stuff then people are going to buy, doesn't matter if that's February or June.

Fucking hell, that was dope as fuck. But it's funny, Sony leaves us thirsty in the desert so other fans come up with better stuff than Sony themselves!
Probably in the next month or so. Sony isn't hosting it though.
Does it matter that it might not be hosted by Sony themselves?
Yeah the thought is that Sony could have another event in the same timeframe, which is why they decided not to host DP.
Has anyone compiled a list of dates in Feb that we can cross off as likely candidates for an event? It'll have to be a weekday of course.
Feb 24th Sony are already holding an event at MWC for their mobile division so I can't see them doing something that day even though they're different divisions.
Feb 14, 19, 20 and 21 we know they're holding livestreams pertaining to the Australian brushfire relief efforts, so I think we can reliably say those days are off the table.
I'd say the 12th or 13th, or the 26th or 27th seem like decent dates. Anything happening on those dates? I haven't checked the Sony Theaters bookings or anything, but then again if they're doing a State of Play reveal or holding it elsewhere then that won't really matter.

Do they have anything booked for the 28th or 29th? 29th being a Saturday I would highly doubt anything happens then.
I know this is fake because LOL at that being a standard controller. That thing would cost damn near half the price of the console.
It's amazing, though. Sony should do an Elite controller too.
I don't get it, what the hell was this? https://twitter.com/xbox/status/1223658809266032640?s=21 smh
Not all that shocking. I can't imagine they'd go broad with a television advertising campaign this far in advance of having product available to buy. That's generally just a waste of money. It makes way more sense to focus on positive general brand messaging in their NFL partnership instead this year.
Next year could be a different story.

I thought it was about this?
Xbox, Nike and EA announce new custom Xbox One X contest for Super Bowl LIV
I know some people just want to believe, but seriously, it's not difficult to prove you are a non fake leaker if you have a devkit in front of you when you take a photo of the tv.
And you said the previos leaks hasn't proven fake, This from the second leak smells.
Not this again...
See my post from earlier.

That's the info from the Sony site.
I see a lot of mentions in this sub for a Klee. Has he gotten something predicted right? Was it something not predictable?
We won't know until we get the specs. But since you brought them up again I'm sure the usually folk will come out to bash em.
I think he hinted at the XSX reveal at TGA? That was an unknown and not something I would consider predictable.
Xsx reveal at tga. Both console have vrs and hardware ray tracing .the rest remain to be seen.
3 hours until Sony say we will be talking about ps5 SOON 😔😆
Monday night (PST). Not this night lol. Maybe I should have said super early Tuesday morning instead.
I don't know what you are saying. I didn't bring up any specs. I'm just trying to figure out why so many people use him as a reference. Does he work in the industry?
You may not have any motive here, but I'd suggest we not dig this up again.
Klee definitely has connections to the industry. He was verified by the mods (although his information wasn't). He correctly revealed VRS, Hardware RT and the TGA reveal of the XSX.
That may or may not be enough to consider him a legitimate source of information. That's up to you. But we've been over this topic so many times that it's really not worth it anymore.
Until we get specs, there's no way to know if Klee is correct about anything else.
Don't know why people keep asking this.. all the answers you are looking for are in page one of this thread, will all info and links.
Thanks, didn't know the time. Interesting to hear what they disclose about PS5. It's their crown jewel at this point. I know we got the rumor from OsirisBlack saying Gamestop has it listed at $499.. I wonder if we could allude to that or not based on what we hear there.
He is a relaible, vetted, industry insider. Yes. and the rest is history. He isn't Nostradamus, but he is a guy with Industry contacts and they have direct knowledge of PS5 and Series X.
Have you ever heard of a console reveal /announcement happening at The Game Awards? He said they will reveal the Series X there.
So, believe Klee or not. But his words carry more weight than the Github leak ( access to devs with white paper final spec documents vs Github Test data that could be testing anything really.).
Yes, he isn't Verified here. But not sure why that is the case. Are mods allowed to discuss why a person isn't verified yet? Did he flunk out on his "test"? Did HE back out? Did he provide "insufficient" proof?
I think the rationale for why he isn't Verified yet would be a benifit to us in this thread. Above all, this thread is battling to find what is worth holding on to for discussion and what should be discarded.
The last update from Hecht was that there was no update. My assumption is that they were unable to reach an agreement on verification, but who knows.
