Gotta agree with the majority of the topic here. Hyperbole at its finest. I mean I know, admitted fansite by Sammy himself and all, but some of these comments up in here from some superfans are just cringy.
I know it's been posted multiple times but this feels more reactionary and unlike Sony. Almost everything they mentioned was already highly rumored for Scarlet, right down to the SSD. In fact, the SSD discussion was doubled down by the highest Microsoft insiders and said to be for BOTH the expensive and cheaper Xbox, and the rumored SSD costs more than consoles themselves leading people to question the whole nature of the price point. Nonetheless, everyone agrees it still seems like Microsoft was controlling these leaks.
It seems like Sony just wanted to quell fear and be in the conversation with Stadia and Xbox, especially revealing this right before an Inside Xbox titled "Road to E3." I don't know how announcing highly rumored things the competition is doing along with actual things they are doing (BC) is leading any discussion; of course a new console info drop is going to be in the spotlight.
Lastly, the PS4 BC thing affirms my view because that seems like a megaton to drop at their own conference. I can't count the number of times I've seen posts where people say all Sony needs to do is announce BC and E3 is irrelevant, etc. I've always found that confusing because Sony has NO CHOICE but to have BC, whether they like it or not, because of the competition.
After what was sent to Nibel yesterday, it feels like this forum is going to implode come June, lol. I'll leave it at that.
