Dreams is a niche and long term plan. Don't think they care about initial sales for it. It wouldn't be a surprise if they send one copy with every new console.

Jeah and the guy has the same character as any standard NPC in an Uncharted game. But what if Indy had to shoot a guy with real feelings, Story, Family etc.?
Whats funny is that they cant stop their employees from traveling. there will be devs who will want to go to GDC during March. March is a big spring break week so people will go to the bahamas, florida and mexican beaches. will sony ban all travel? after all, the employees can always bring back the virus to the offices.
this is all so silly. lets make everyone work from home. take kids out of school. ban school trips. ban spring break. ban easter bunnies and all products coming in from china. ban the ps5 because the AMD APU is likely made in china. what if the amazing PS5 cooling solution picks up the virus from the chip and using its amazing next gen fans distributes it all over your living room infecting your kids, your pets and all first and third party studio offices.
this is how the world ends.
It's a mandate to not go to events. Square-Enix and Capcom have been canceling event showings as well.
Japanese companies are just being extremely cautious right now.

I think you're reading too much into it all.
I'm disappointed Sony are skipping GDC. But it's a leap to suggest that there's some nervous energy. I also think you might be too invested if you think Sony were deliberately being stoic/confident, and using language like 'losing faith'.
The really rational explanation is that Sony have a marketing strategy and time-line in place that doesn't align with the Xbox reveals. And based on recent cancelations, doesn't really involve PAX or GDC - or at least, not in a way that would fundamentally impact their reveal strategy. Assuming they are going to do this at their own event, on their own time - there's really not much to take from any of this news except the obvious - Sony aren't ready to show anything.
they weren't going to talk about it at PAX, but at GDC I would certainly think so. Not to consumers, GDC isn't a consumer facing show, but to developers I would imagine they were. And either way, not attending all of these shows in combination with negative news stories about not locking down prices yet and parts shortages starts to paint a picture or send a message.
I was someone that thought that people naysaying and making a big deal out of Sony not showing up at E3 were making mountains out of mole hills. The culture and business has changed and E3 is getting left behind. But E3 doesn't exist in a vacuum and all of these skipped shows and shakey news stories together is starting to create a vibe.
I don't mean to exaggerate, I don't think the ship is under water or anything. But I can't deny that it feels like the momentum is maybe just starting to turn.
True.
Ms + Sony are making 10±tf rDNA with RT, 8 core zen2 , 16gb gddr6 ram and fast SSD beasts, they both have the biggest collection of first party studios ever, we all win!
Yeah, I get it. It sucks but I get it.
Facebook tho...lol.
It would be a good move it basically means the competition has to unveil price first.
No, what the specs are is what they are. They've been locked in for a while now, and there won't be a delay of the PS5. Sony pulling out of a couple of events has no impact on the PS5.
They are responsible for the health of their employees how is that Silly?
C'mon
Only fanboys think Sony is not attending these events because of PS5.
Well since my vote was riding on Sony collaborating with Wired on another PS5 article to stave off the GDC leaks and control the narrative, I am now pretty sure that my vote will now be wrong. Oh well, I just hope I have a really stupid and funny new avatar

What's silly is taking any unnecessary risks, and the world will really end if everyone thinks like that.
Better cancel console launch. Wouldn't want consumers to get coronavirus waiting in those lines.
I think maybe I'm not articulating myself well. I do believe that these coronavirus precautions are for the best and I do believe they are being done with their employee's health in mind and I applaud that.
but none of this exists in a vacuum and news stories of trade and industry pull outs along side other news stories about supply chain problems and Sony themselves being unsure of aspects of the launch (namely price) are starting to pile up. These news stories and pull outs in absence of any concrete or reassuring news is starting to wear on Sony's perceived stoicism and confidence that many have applauded or used to put their silence into perspective up until now.
Again, I don't think there's reason to panic or read into things hugely, but I do think there's starting to be the beginnings of a bad or unsure energy or vibe.
Crazy to me they're canceling all these events with the WHO saying outside of China there is less than 1% mortality rate (0.68%). 7 total deaths outside of China.
I still expect leaks out of GDC however

You can still expect leaks out of gdc if Sony doesn't reveal before. Devs know the target specs already, so they don't need Sony to be there to talk.
I think the reveal of the PS5 will not be live though, hopefully it's soon.

no one has leaked anything yet. no one is going to leak anything at GDC. devs dont break NDAs just so era users can have their 12 tflops confirmations.
if they wanted to leak the specs, they wouldve told Jason and Tom Warren already. they clearly dont want to risk their careers over this bs.
That would give me a head start into the Playstation ecosystem.
So Sony did release the coronavirus to give themselves some extra time to reengineer the PS5....
Seriously though I don't think this will affect their announcement plans much if at all. They have a time table they want to stick to even if they might have to reformat a little.
Hmmm... ok, now I am getting slightly concerned. Why is sony pulling out of GDC(in San Francisco no less) due to coronavirus?
Its even stranger when MS is at every single one of these events sony is pulling out of.
Surely coronavirus should b taken into account or our bets lol. If sony can care or their employees, the least Era can do is care for its members!!!

Isn't there still a chance for PS5 (also Xbox Series X ) specs to leak at this conference? [I'm very desperate for news.... its sad]
We will know both specs in the next 2-3 months unless Sony stays completely quiet and goes after Xbox has their event(s)
How do you know MS won't pull out? I'm sure they're monitoring the situation.
Might have to rely on the amazon product page to reveal the PS5. Tweet it out after E3, "head over to amazon.com right now" #PS5.
They've got the image selector, a little video player and large description space catered for with a pre order button if you like what you see.

You realize that an international convention has ... international guests, right? It doesn't matter if that convention is in China, Germany, Brazil or the US.
The WHO has also recommended to avoid international conventions if possible btw.
The Playstation Headquarters in San Mateo is literally 30 minutes by car (20 miles) from the GDC convention center.
if i worked there, i would use this as an excuse to work from home for the next few months.
How will Sony's lack of GDC presence affect smaller third parties and indie devs in relation to PS5?
Very true, brotha from a different motha. ;-p
Okay, pack it up everyone, the year 2020 has been cancelled because of the CoronaVirus,
On to 2021!!!!! Hopefully we get some specifications by then, huh?
I almost forgot it's because a lot of Sony operates in Asia.
I would be surprised if they actually did.
You guys are watching the YouTube videos from the american doctor updating his vlog and talking about these things and being educated about this virus, right?
Yes, it's a big virus, but it's not been called a pandemic yet, nor is it spreading fast outside of China and it appears to be slowing down now a little bit in China.
