They did the first part of the announcement like this, so not sure why doing part 2 would suggest them doing it to just "beat" MS to the punch
Lots of bad/ok games and some unreleased games, not the worst year ever but definitely worse than average and probably the worst since 2014.
IMO a pretty unremarkable year. Last year was better and next year will be better too. There is also so far no mega hit like Breath of the Wild, God of War or Red Dead Redemption 2. I'm looking forward to Death Stranding, but I imagine it will be pretty divisive...

Any chance of $399? Is the Resetera consensus $499?
true but I'm gonna stick with proven game journalists over a small site like game daily
fixed that for you
Not a great chance of 399 after the spec details have come out. The consensus here seems to be that Sony will charge premium for PS5(499.99)
Only way they reach $399 is if they are willing to eat an insane amount of loss on each unit sold.
Doesn't make much sense when they did their first announcement just like this and with wired.
Regardless cool news that's not super sexy but is the stuff that will actually make next gen better. I'm hoping for a much improved DualShock and legacy PS b/c.
I'll remain convinced that they'll stick with the golden $399 price point until proven otherwise.
There's no doubt that Sony knows these articles are hitting before their competition. But I don't see them being as reactionary as your post implies.
Gamedaily has more proven game journalists in it than Kotaku (a site that posted animated underage cartoon porn a few weeks ago).
Really hope it's $499. Since these consoles stay like 7 years before a new one you want the console to be as good as possible more future proof.
Ah, thanks. On one hand, this is good news in terms of the console being a beast. The bad news is that there is no way I am buying both consoles at launch, or any time soon thereafter. PS5 it is, Game Pass not withstanding.
Sony ceo prepared everyone for 499 by saying it's a niche product and will have advanced features to appeal to hardcore gamers and as such will be priced accordingly. If it was 399 CEO wouldn't talk about it like that
JS has a great track record for his contacts in the industry. Will take his word over others any day.
How so? They did this same thing with Wired earlier this year and MS didn't say anything until that very short E3 video.
PC needs to get on board with the modular game installs. The next gen will have some tight features that will be hard to rebuke. Gets me more excited to see the QoL improvements Sony and MSFT can implement to make getting in and out of games as easy as possible.
I don't think you know what gamedaily.biz is, and how it's an industry-facing publication.
It's not a random small site.
Revealing information via an article is now cockiness? Okay dude, carry on. Not interested in this conversation.
The controller stuff sounds incredible. I just hope it doesn't cost the world lol.
"To that end, there are two key innovations with PlayStation 5's new controller. First, we're adopting haptic feedback to replace the "rumble" technology found in controllers since the 5th generation of consoles. With haptics, you truly feel a broader range of feedback, so crashing into a wall in a race car feels much different than making a tackle on the football field. You can even get a sense for a variety of textures when running through fields of grass or plodding through mud.
The second innovation is something we call adaptive triggers, which have been incorporated into the trigger buttons (L2/R2). Developers can program the resistance of the triggers so that you feel the tactile sensation of drawing a bow and arrow or accelerating an off-road vehicle through rocky terrain. In combination with the haptics, this can produce a powerful experience that better simulates various actions."

Dualshock 5 may still have paddles. I doubt they revealed every new feature about the controller in this interview.
I'm holding out hope. Going to be supremely disappointed if it doesn't though.
It's literally just the HD Rumble you can find in the Switch, and the adaptive triggers you can find in the X1.
In our current timeline, in no shape or form is a PlayStation console a niche product.
Not from a revenue standpoint.
Not from a commercial standpoint.
First I've heard any one associate niche with PlayStation.
"I'm gonna stick with the narrative that fits my personal opinion and preference."
Do as you please. And please, continue to criticize the other report and the people who think that there's some truth to it as "blindly believing" while blindly believing something else.
Or ... don't.
No need to quote me again, I'm gonna spend the evening with my family and there's no time for pointless arguing with some ... You know?
That's not how I read it at all. The Xbox One features trigger rumble, not adaptive resistance. Eg, it either rumbles or it doesn't. The way Jim describes it is that pulling the trigger will have varying degrees of resistance and feel, not just rumble.
With regards to haptic feedback, the one implemented in the Switch joycons doesn't seem anything to write home about, and I certainly didn't feel the range of sensations described in this article, so presumably the version they're implementing is going to be more advanced.
