Wow nice. I really hope they tone down the playstation hits crap they put on the cases, like just put a symbol in the corner and call it a day.Like this?
That's what happens when you're in the lead vs. playing catch up. Everything MS has been doing lately seems to be attempts at one-upping Sony, and the only reason they've been giving gamers so much value is because they're currently losing. Sony appears un-threatened at the highest level, the kind of arrogance that could bite them in the ass if they sit on it for too long. This will be interesting to watch.
i mean I don't personally care, all im saying is if you're going to compare likes or whatever you should do it on the service that gets the most eyeballs.
anyways the person i was responding to was joking and i acknowledged that right away, so this doesn't need to become a serious thing.
Last gen they really went all-in on blue, more than I feel like they've ever themed themselves around a colour other than black and it worked so well for them. Somebody else pointed out that Nintendo is red, Xbox green, PlayStation blue. Makes sense to keep that going, to me at least.
Are you claiming arrogance based on the assumption that SONY won't advertise their PS5? Just want to make sure I understand or did I dream about the constant marketing PS4 had and still has.
MS doing everything in their power to try and regain the throne is amazing for everyone. These two companies are at best when they are competing with software. Y'all need to tone it down with crazy assumptions, ERA is full with concern trolling.
Fair enough. Though, I think box design is not a huge deal considering how hard they will be pushing digital next gen anyway.
The worst thing is, some people wont be joking though.
On another note, That black box looks incredible. I hope they go with that.
In terms of next-gen console marketing, until the game awards Sony had been more proactive about information than Microsoft. Not responding immediately to everything MS has said since TGAs - as some seemed to expect over Xmas and New Years, for some baffling reason - is not complacency or arrogance. An expectation that Sony would react to every little thing MS says about their next-gen console is unrealistic in the extreme.
Rewinding to the beginning of the current generation, at this point we had zero official marketing. There is still plenty of time for Sony to walk their marketing roadmap, at their own pace.
(In terms of general market activity, I think we could debate that. Sony is firing on all cylinders for PS4's last year on game output, and I see a lot of shaking up going on at Sony which suggests the opposite of complacency. Sony Corp also seems more awake to the importance of PS than ever before - which will probably be a factor later when it comes to marketing for PS5. I think it'd be a small limb to go out on, to say, that this will probably be their biggest marketing effort to date for a console... I wouldn't worry about them being quiet in due time.)

ResetEra limited edition.Damn I think you're onto something chief. Whipped this up real quick, thoughts on the color?
Whats the point of ramping up marketing something you haven't even shown to the public yet? Makes zero sense to expect anything before a proper reveal. Which I personally would hope is done with more than a commercial length advertisement.
Oh, just wait until we get actual details about the system. Some people here are dying to go full console warrior.
Because they are not reactionary? I don't think ping pong marketing would a good strategy, especially this early.
They probably have PS meeting date and all that jazz already settled, the year barely started.
Sony is taking it slow, which is something I don't mind. Not like blowing your load early will make November 2020 come any faster.
Blue box for PAL regions I believe, black box for NA.
We do love Blue in europe
From Art of War:
Disciplined and calm, to await the appearance of disorder and hubbub amongst the enemy:--this is the art of retaining self-possession.
I wasn't really attacking PlayStation... but I can see how it looked. Love my PlayStation 4 and PS4 Pro and the 400+ games I have on it.
I was wrong of course for saying that blatantly.
But the small reveal of Xbox Series X was bigger and better than just a Logo. I guess I am just surprised that we are making THIS the news. Sony revealed the PS5 Logo which is exactly like the previous 4 versions. I guess we have something to talk about than nothing.
I think a reveal is when you physically show the console and showcase some games for it. That is what happened with the Xbox reveal. Showing a logo is not a console reveal.
Def not betting against PlayStation, I know it'll be a great console because they have the best exclusives. I guess I love what Xbox has done with the reveal for the Series X compared to Sony.
I was watching the CES 2020 Conference LIVE and we got this Logo and PS4 games collage trailer. So comparatively Xbox did better.
I hope we get a good launch from both consoles this November.
No it is def not... I meant that we making a big news out of this Logo reveal... that is all. I guess I am not a big fan of Logos and Title Names being revealed only.
Even in 2013, they did the whole conference and talked about PS4 but never revealed the console... they do things differently I guess.
I seriously cannot tell who is joking any more. You know you are replying to a sarcastic post, right? How can they be arrogant? It's the beginning of January! People need to cool down.
It's a way to read the market Share and as a Poster in the Next Gen Thread noted, it's also possible to read future sales based on likes and Views from Social media.
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the teasing either but it seems like whatever they are doing is working. See how it all plays out soon enough I guess. I just think its way too early to be calling either side laying the smack down on the other just yet.
Imagine this ideal scenario:
PS4 compatibility - Boost mode, plus developers can make PS5 patches for 4k, raytracing, textures, higher draw distance etc.
PS3 and Vita compatibility via emulation with option to run games at 4k (or 1800p with checkerboard if 4k is too hard) and 16x AF.
PSP, PS2 and PS1 emulation at 8k (can downsample to lower res screens)
PS3, PS2 and PS1 games can be copied to the internal drive (can only run if disk inserted)
PS2, PS1, PSP, and Vita games have AI upscaling option for textures.
Developers have the option to sell or release free updates to inject new HD textures/HUD/fonts and trophies into old games (sony has a patent for that)

Only people making it a big deal are those that want to irk the "other side," no one rational was thinking they were going to reveal the console at CES.
I couldn't have said it better. I have been saying this for many years. These companies act all big and have arrogance in them as SOON as they reach the top. When PS2 won that Gen, they priced PS3 for such a high price that you had to get a second job and sell your first born to get it. They didn't care what Gamers actually wanted. The same thing happened in 2013, because Xbox 360 won that GEN, they increased the price, added Kinect and made it online only with not being able to play used games, again not caring for what gamers actually want, thinking they will bend over backwards. And look what happened to them.
Each time they win a console war, they act like GODS and think gamers will bend over backwards for them and they never learn from history.
And yes, PS3 was losing during that era and they were going out of their way to please gamers, introduced PS PLUS and did so much for us, the same Xbox One did this gen because they were losing.
They always seem to listen to us ONLY when they are losing the battle. That should change. I hope it does next gen.
I agree, nobody said anything about anything. But they just revealed a boring logo (IMO) and the Internet is going crazy and making new articles. As if its an original logo that has never been done and they did something revolutionary. They didn't.
That is what I meant when I said that at Game Awards Xbox caught us by surprise. I wasn't expecting it at all. I am still not a big fan of what it is called... Series. But that is another topic to discuss at a different thread.
When compared to PS3 vs 360 - 360 did... by the number and by average games per console. I am not taking Wii into account as Nintendo said they didn't want to compete against Sony and MS, their target audience was different as well.
News sites need news on next gen consoles to get traffic, it is not surprising that there are articles going up about it. Just because it is inline with what they have done previously doesn't mean it isn't news (albeit very tame news).
Did it surprise you when Sony started offering Wired interviews about the PS5 early last year? That was a large surprise to many.
You're gonna need to back that up with sources because last official numbers has ps3 selling more.
Bad to keep it on boxes though, will just confuse general consumers.
They might have a different design, similiar to Xbox-X360-XONE, but I definitely think the blue is staying.
