It might just be a very short headless person wearing a white jacket with a popped collar over a black t-shirt

I'm feeling gaslit

I'm not sure if by the streamer, Geoff, Sony's marketing team, or my own stupidity

I'll go with the latter XD

It's got people talking about it, doesn't it? I can't think of another company that is succeeding at marketing a product better than Playstation with the PS5. Even the smallest things turn into huge deals..

Edit: To also add onto my own thoughts of what the fuck is going on, maybe we get an event date out of this? That is the ONLY thing I can coming out of this that would be worth drumming up this form of hype.

Image placement. Streamers talking while completely ignoring the thing in the same room as them that is a pretty important product even if it's not real. Gets people talking if it was real or not

I just assumed (if that's not a real PS5 ) that this was said channels own bit rather than something in collaboration or initiated by Sony as intentional advertisement... If my assumption is wrong I guess it makes more sense.

Ain't the first time we've seen a 3D printed console so my money is on that. There was a similiar situation with Etika and the Nintendo Switch, so I reckon this might be a similiar case. It gets people talking after all, but as others said it seems unlikely to be the real thing given how even folks like Geoff could barely get their hands on it.

I don't care. Nvidia has already convinced me to order that BFGPU that is the beefy 3090...I couldn't care less...

Imagine clicking this thread out of your own volition, moving to the reply box, investing the time to write this post of yours and sending it just to say you don't care.

Seems legit, really. Here's a pro tip tho: Folks who actually don't care just click the ignore thread button rather than investing the effort into writing a post about how they don't care. No one is forcing you to be in this thread let alone write a reply to it, that's entirely on you.

What a bizarre lead up to console launch for both consoles. In a way, I dig it though.

Ever feel like you're excitedly taking part in some Twitch streamers viral marketing attempt to get more subs?
