So if Sony believe they've slipped up with their design and are concerned about the rhetoric of power disparity would they go all out for an early release and try to get the jump on MS? Is this guy talking about a manufacturing deadline for a May PS5 release? Why splash out on E3 if your console is in the wild already.Was this posted yet?
" They had to move us to new offices to continue the supply of PS5 .....!!!! deadline is May "
Something to do with coronavirus
We've heard they were planning a 2019 release so perhaps they could do it.
every companys' wet dream: just ship the product (Xbox/PS5) and leave the rest to the consumer to buy separately. HDMI cord, power plug + power brick in the case of the xbox, and the controller. Profit margins exploding as we speak.
There's that and that Sony has never been as aggressive at firmware features as Microsoft has. Sure they update 'stability' a lot but once they got Suspend/Resume and SharePlay type stuff working, I feel like they haven't released any meaningful features.
Controllers are also very cheap to produce. We're talking under $20. They're nothing but profit margin. So leaving one out makes no sense as a cost saving measure.
There's no way to know which architecture these features are associated with absent of AMD confirming them. Zen 3 has no confirmed architecture features as of yet.
And how does the manufacturer know your situation? In the case of consoles. The manufacturer will not improve the product with respect to the previous one? In that case, you will not want to distribute the new product to lower the design cost margins?
Companies have to take into account all potential customers, including those who were never within their ecosystem. In addition I only see one option in this, and that is if it becomes a reality, in the future the final price of the console will not go down, but that they will take advantage of it to have a greater profit margin and the only that will lose is the consumer.
I know you are being sarcastic. But my point is for those who really want it to come true.
While certainly in the beginning of the gen, I'd assume most people will be technophiles, as a company you'd want to encourage people to 'switch' from PS to XB or vice versa, so banking on them having compatible controllers seems to go against that.
Do you think there is a market for a Sony TV with all the features for gaming? Something like a TV perfect for PS5?
Some argument that DopeyFish was making a few pages back got spun into a hot mess.
Wait why?? It's freaking brilliant! Ms needs some money and it's a prosumer move. Why wouldn't anyone have a xbox one pad?
2? there are 3 joke answers........
Wait is this a serious poll? No, come on!!! It's not! For obvious reasons its not.
You would think that if they are doing a May production deadline then the console takes a few months to ship to distribution warehouses and then ships from those warehouses to retailers. Earliest your looking at is around September
The most crazy thing is this conversation lasts for more than one day now. It's like a shitty leaker said RAM will be removable on both consoles but PS5 only has two slots during XSX has four. One day later all are arguing why four slots are better than two instead of finishing this discussion at the beginning by saying this rumor is shit.
Man if I had to choose between two systems both at the same price, Im picking the one with the controller. They cost almost the same as a game.
Why is this a thing? Who brought up this no controller business?

... but for some it would be the hassle of a gift that is incomplete without an accessory, and for most it would mean the console would be $30 more expensive because you need to buy one of the high margin controllers. Unless you're looking to sell two different SKUs which is a forecasting and warehousing nightmare. You're talking about changing something fundamental only to suit some fraction of the market they want to attract.
To be fair, this only was a sidenote, so no rumor or request. For an unknown reason the battle started right after.
i'm just saying i'd like to buy a series x without a controller and save me 20 bucks. i'm not concerned with retail
I'm sure everyone here knows that but it looks like the silence of sony turns some minds into maniacs.
You have to get a controller.. and in the case of PS5, you have to especially get a controller, because of the advancements in tech between DS4 and DS5, the controller experience is part of the next gen sell.
On the Xbox side.. maybe it's up to how they feel. Essentially, the Xbone and Series X controllers are the same, spart from the ergonomics of Series X controller being smaller.

Oh my lord, stop this. You don't care but you are one person. Microsoft is not going to send out a XSX SKU without a damn controller, stop with this nonsense.
How is that even saving you money when you know you have to buy a controller for the system anyway?
It would be. For comparison, imagine if Nintendo hadn't included an AC adapter with one of their handhelds. That would be pretty funny.
Because the user is carrying his One generation controllers over. They are compatible, same for PS5/PS4.
'buy a series xwith a controller for $20 more, and sell it for $30.
That would kill the resale value of their old system tho.
Do we know for a fact the controllers for the PS4/XBO are forward compatible?
I believe Phil confirmed for Xbox, yes. DS4 I have no idea.
When you trade in a console you send a controller with it. I wouldn't say most people have 1 more controller than they need.
Ah okay cool. Didn't know. Still the new systems are getting controllers.
This madness will continue until GDC huh?
