You're right, but wasn't it their statement that turned this into such big news? People were doubting the original article when the only source was that ESA announcement. Maybe they could have let people speculate until they were ready to clearly state what their plan is.
Which is exactly what they're doing. Sony announce when they want to even if it seems to cause bad press.
Look at cross play, something that dominated this forum now doesn't even figure in the conversation and doesn't appear to have damaged them
And what's the point? ESA would release list of participants anyway.
Yeah but my point is that theh could still appeal to both, the hardcore at the start and the casual market 1'5 years later, when the heavy hitters start rolling in.
Again I don't think it will but it could.
Some other scenarios when this could happen? Maybe both MS and Sony agree to that. Both could benefit from selling a SKU at a higher price point, to differentiate even further from Nintendo, to include things like vapor cooling, to be able to deliver consistent 4k/60fps, to have more wiggle room with the price etc.
We know MS will release various SKU's, a cheaper streambox and a "traditional" one, so they could go for the casuals with the first one and the premium market with the second...
Lots of unknowns, hopefully the devkits are truly out and we can have some leaks early next year
Oh I don't think this is going to hurt them. I was just thinking from a personal point of view, new info or trailers are rare enough as it is, so it's frustrating to hear that Sony is going to be absent from E3 without knowing what they're planning instead.
Ideally they would have announced their plans before the ESA released the list of participants, but I guess it doesn't really matter in the end.
Fixed and added my own predictions. Honestly I think Sony has a pretty good hold for the first 2-3 years of the PS5 if my predictions (more like assumptions) come true.

Is this a joke comment or are you being serious?
Edit - Oh nevermind, I just saw the list of rumours on the previous page.
The person who leaked the news about Sony skipping E3 next year on Reddit claimed that Ape Escape 4 was definitely in development.
Bloodborne 2 might not be a thing yet... According to rumor though.
But new Ape Escape is dope.
If it's real...

More like data from those with access to actual sales data. Specifically, Benji.
It is doing well for what it is and in relation to MS' market. Sony's console would do even better considering their worldwide market.
So, breaking records left and right or bust? I mean, even if it sales on par with PS4's opening, it would still be really successful.
You guys realise that a person that knows so much from different things is probably going to either make ship up (which is probably the case) or is just fucking stupid and will lose their job soon.
Not sure why people are so readily believing that rumor. The guy probably just had access to that press release where it said Sony wasn't attending E3, and is making all that other stuff up as he goes along.
They also claimed Sony was going to delay TLOU2, Death Stranding and "that samurai game" till the PS5 launch and then release them on the same day, which is the dumbest shit imaginable.
I would take their rumours with a giant grain of salt, especially when the one thing they've gotten right would've involved a lot of different moving parts (Sony, the ESA, third party partners, etc). Knowing everything else they're posting, including stuff from EA/Bioware, would require not only great contacts but more than one and that seems extremely unlikely.
Bye
Yep.
I think he got hold of the E3 scoop (like many others) and made up the rest, taking info from other rumors here and there
When people say 'Bloodborne 2', do they literally mean a game called Bloodborne 2 or with a subtitle, or do they just mean another Soulsborne by From and published by Sony?
Like while Bloodborne wasn't Demon's Souls II, those were the rumours were initially heard, and it was seemingly connected to that world earlier in development.
Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne each feel like successors to different aspects of Demon's Souls. DkS went with the medieval thing, and slowed down the combat, making poise and armour more important. Bloodborne sped the combat up and went with the gothic, eldritch elements of Demon's Souls.
Essentially, when I think of wanting Bloodborne 2, I think more that I just want another game in that direction. More aggressive, more visceral, more of a horror experience.

USD $500 sounds reasonable. Adjusted for inflation, it's not too far off from the PS4 launch price.
Just made the calculation and it's around $450-475 , so yeah, you're right.
Some of the stuff the leaker wrote "makes sense", like PSVR2 being built into the system, but him mentioning a wide release window ("between March and November") and also stating that the final price will be 500 bucks despite us being like 1.5-2 years away from launch doesn't really fill me with confidence
Wouldn't also be the first time that someone mixes legit information with made-up shit

Well, maybe it doesn't need to? moving towards a phone/pc model? The new Playstation would be priced at that level, but you can still play new games on ps4 pro.
Yeah the price info is kinda shot since they're not usually final before the initial mass production of console. I remember Sony even betting on ram price going down for PS4Some of the stuff the leaker wrote "makes sense", like PSVR2 being built into the system, but him mentioning a wide release window ("between March and November") and also stating that the final price will be 500 bucks despite us being like 1.5-2 years away from launch doesn't really fill me with confidence

Not $300 but $400. I think the PS5 would be significantly better than the pro in 2020 at a $400 price point.
But at $500 they could add nice features like vapor cooling, more ram, bigger hd etc
$400 would be the sweet spot next gen imo even though ill likely pay for a premium higher hdd version if available. I forgot to factor in the tech advancement too, $400 would be good enough for 2020
Yep; stuff like pricing is constantly in flux which is pretty normal considering the tech market itself is moving at a rapid pace in a lot of directions
Might be a case of bad info fed to the leaker or the leaker themselves including it in there
God of War 2 won't release on the PS4, I don't think...will be a PS5 exclusive and come out around 2022
The only thing I don't like and still hope it doesn't happen is about moving tlou2, Ds and got to next gen. I really want these games for PS4 and a fresh start for next gen with horizon 2 and ratchet or maybe other game.
They need to have something made for next gen to justify a ps5 launch.
Tlou2 looks really good but for a PS4 game not for a next gen.

I think he actually knows something about PS5 specs and he is just making his own guess about the price and release window based on those specs. He doesn't really know anything about them.
Even if the prices of the components fluctuate they have to commit to a price at one point, it being either $399 or $499, and if they're unlucky with the prices they will eat the overcost.
He actually said he didn't know much about the speccs other than it being "a monster" and "Ryzen 8 core".
So maybe he's making it all up, or his "friend" told him it was "a monster" and he decided a monster had to be $499
What if they are able to get the highly anticipated sequel ready by 2020 holiday season/Q1 2021?
Yeah, that's fine. Let SSM take all the time they need to deliver on the sequel!
He didn't really share much about the specs other than it being a "monster" - I mean, yeah? Of course Sony's next hardware will be a "monster". That isn't really anything surprising or even worth pointing out imo
Either way, I guess we will get details once the first devkits are out (which has already happened according to this guy iirc)
True, but I do not think that we have reached that point yet, and I also do not think that this person has sources that are that high up in the chain and part of internal pricing discussions
The APU is almost certainly locked, but between accessories, HDD capacity and RAM, there's plenty to call at a later date.
I think it'll be $400.
Tsushima, Demon's Souls, R&C and a racer as the launch joints would be fine. Horizon the following June.

I doubt it. My take on it is that for the PS5 launch lineup we are getting maybe 1 big title 1-2 PSVR titles and the rest will be crossgen games (Remasters etc.). I am not expecting HZD2, GoW2, Spider-Man 2 to hit the PS5 until a couple of years in. Remember that both developers and Sony wants sequels to surpass the success of the first game. That will take some time.
Yeah, I think we all agree he got hold of the E3 news and he's making the rest up.
I was talking more in a general way.
Regarding having reached that point...maybe? If the initial release target date was indeed 2019 they could have already decided a price point. Same goes for using fancy components like vapor cooling etc...if they go that route maybe $499 is a must
Regarding price points I think it's telling Microsoft went for $499 instead of $449. I think we can discard $449 being an option, so maybe that forces their hand a little, one way or another
I think we can say $399 was the sweetest spot for this gen machines. It probably still is the sweet spot for next gen machines, but I wouldn't discard $499.
If a global crisis hit as again between 2019/20 like people are predicting $499 could be huge mistake though.
I think that guy doesn't have anything concrete beyond the E3 stuff. He´s most likely just making things up after getting some reputation for that one info he legit had.
