Obviously the gaming section is the area most of us will be paying attention to, but with SIE branching off into movie and TV show production, and with semiconductors being a factor in the partnership with Microsoft they might be worth keeping an eye on as well.

I don't think it's "leaking." It's just being posted.

i meant leaking more like 'trickling' i suppose, there's a new thread every 5 mins

But according to the topic title, it doesn't start until 11: 20 EST.

kennyamr · May 20, 2019

Yeah, everything has been posted by now. There is even a video of the speed difference between the PS5 and PS4.

--R · May 20, 2019

So 30 minutes until the gaming section.

Presentation PDFs were posted on the Sony IR site.

And the load comparison video posted by Mochizuki, he wouldn't have posted that if he wasn't allowed to record and post it.

Toni · May 20, 2019

I will watch to see if we find some details in there.

-5G
-1st party sold-through figures
-Next-gen focus
-And "Playstation Streaming"

Has been so far the standouts from the meeting. All super interesting stuff. Especially the demonstration of Ssd speeds and asset loading in real time.

Ah, noted.

All good then. Not an abundance of information as they are saving that up for Playstation Meeting next year. Understandable.

Yes

vivftp · May 20, 2019

I hear words! Sounds like a PR video, still just see the initial splash screen tho

Tyaren · May 20, 2019

Is there an actual live stream?

Edit:
Sorry, failed to realize I was able to click on the big, fat link to the stream, lol.

First thing in the OP :)

BadWolf · May 20, 2019

It has started.

vivftp · May 20, 2019

He said they will grow organically or through acquisition as they see fit, nice.

Fat4all · May 20, 2019

i love downstream user spend

Referencing Microsoft, haha.

Gotta go bed, hopefully someone here can summarize.

AS OF TODAY! DO IT!

Fat4all · May 20, 2019

"ps3 was a little fucky, sorry"

Tyaren · May 20, 2019

They just said Playstation 4 will be for the next 3-4 years supported.

chandoog · May 20, 2019

Tyaren said:

Makes sense. PS3 was also supported long after PS4 came out. They're not about to cold-turkey abandon the 100+ million user base.

GTOAkira · May 20, 2019

Yup also looked like Ghost of Tsushima, Dead Stranding and Last of Us 2 are coming to PS4

Sony always supported their consoles 10+ years

It would be a shock if they didn't.

Dave. · May 20, 2019

"Improve the quality of games we have on the service" re: psnow

Tyaren · May 20, 2019

Next gen streaming "with or without a console"...

Fat4all · May 20, 2019

"is this for the 99 mil we've already sold to, or the 1 mil we haven't sold to yet?"

lazybones18 · May 20, 2019

Breaking Bad VR....what the hell?

Fat4all · May 20, 2019

cant wait for that VR game where you make meth

Of course they are.

Breaking Bad VR "Experience." It's going to be one of those short simple things.

i-hate-u · May 20, 2019

ooofff already with the hard-hitting questions.

Fat4all · May 20, 2019

thats more than two questions, jerk

i-hate-u · May 21, 2019

Jim completely dodged the PS Plus user base question

I mean, are we going to cook meth in VR or something?

nah we're gonna melt bodies using acid in a bathtub

Dave. · May 21, 2019

Average lifetime spend of $1,600 for the year 1 PS4 buyers was pretty insane, if I heard that right.

That day 1 PS5 price subsidy coming

Yep. $700 on average for all owners, $1,600 for the year one owners specifically.

Pretty much. "Hey guys these games that were explicitly announced for the PS4 are coming to the PS4."

Indeed, plus he also said it was very important to transition users to next gen quicker than ever before I think

Callibretto · May 21, 2019

gonna be harder this time I think. I'm still very much satisfied from PS4. unlike PS3 where I can't wait to dump it for PS4.

DangerMouse · May 21, 2019

Yeah, even late buyers buying a lot too.

Dave. said:

Good to hear, that's going to be a big deal. And a good start with the BC confirmation back with Cerny article.
