Sony has done a huge disservice to themselves. ( If )they have a weaker console they should have revealed the specs before MS and show next gen games.

would be clutch if we could pre order right after the conference. that would be hype as well
They can't even put up a dedicated Dreams State of Play.
Yep.Fucking thank you. They sure ain't care about what was coming out when they first started randomly dropping ps5 news
We know some basic things. That's about it. Their messaging is awful right now. And they know it, too. Them still not saying anything says a lot. If they still aren't "ready" yet, in the middle of March 2020, then they clearly have some issues. And as you can see, the competition doesn't have any issues at all showing their stuff. And it's impressive stuff.Sony hasn't been silent. We know a lot about the PS5 (SSD, 3D audio, haptic feedback to name a few).
The reason Sony is silent currently is because they're not ready yet for the full reveal. Probably be May/June for one big information blow out.
That would be giving dreams a marketing budget it doesn't "deserve" tho 😊

Like a Dreams State of Play actually more expensive than inviting Jumanji The Next Level actors to play Dreams... 😏That would be giving dreams a marketing budget it doesn't "deserve" tho 😊

We have a full spec sheet since today. And we knew XSX had 12TF RDNA2, etc. for weeks already.MS is showing basic things as well. Suspend resume and load times are something we knew back in the original wired article
It's doing good and is trending (#1) in germany right now.But I doubt it'll gain broader traction. I doubt that combined those vids hit a million views in a day because again, the only conversation that matters, is games. And I'm not sure how Ray tracing minecraft gets that broader interest. Also I'm seeing zero traction on social media.
Was Crash and Spyro IPs for sale?]
Yeah they aren't broke but if they couldn't get Crash what are the chances they get Konami IPs? They spent the entire gen hyping up Crash from the reveal of the PS4 using Crash music and criptic pics of Crash in advertising to after the trilogy launched all for it to still be under Activision and go multiplatform once again.
People always bring this theory up and yet Sony still continue to prove them wrong.Ghost of Tsushima is the last big exclusive for the PS4 right? In that case I wouldn't expect any news on PS5 until that game is released.
GDC was supposed to start today, I'm guessing MS was always going to reveal specs today and simply haven't altered course.The idea of dropping news right now is odd. Friday feels like a month ago Covid-19 is all anyone is talking about online or otherwise.
Yeah, it's clear Sexies X is most powerful. It's was not a big deal, until Sony decides to not have exclusives anymore.MS revealed a detailed spec sheet today. They announed 12TF RDNA2, etc. a long time ago.
Remember the last time a console manufacturer revealed their specs earlier and the other one was silent and revealed theirs months later? It was in 2013.
And it's always the same 4 people.
But why should we care about that at all. What's that got to do with anything anybody said. Nobody here works thereDoes it really matter? The PlayStation 5 will outsell the new Xbox anyway, regardless of whatever both companies come up with. Sony can sit back and relax, release TloU2 and Ghost, put a new PlayStation in the stores and not worry all that much.
The PlayStation brand is strong.
Even that seems to be too complicated for Sony these days. Kinda hilarious. This game will launch in a few months.
Well..... let's wait and see.Yeah, it's clear Sexies X is most powerful. It's was not a big deal, until Sony decides to not have exclusives anymore.
I don't think anyone here is concerned how much it will sell (at least I'm not), we just bored for the lack of news lolDoes it really matter?

That being said, PS5's reveal is just impossible to speculate about at this point. Sony's timeline for sure doesn't depend on what MS is doing and COVID-19 is changing the world as we speak. Saying Sony hasn't revealed their specs because they are for sure weaker than Series X is a leap in logic too far but obviously one I expect to see on a message board.

My first thought seeing the Series X news was "Man, the Playstation thread is going to be unbearable today." 😢I see the usual hyperbole, nonsense, and doom & gloom has started early today thanks to the Series X news. 🍿
The beat of their own drum is awful. Simple as that. The PS5 marketing right now doesn't exist. They know their specs fo months already and they had no issues to mention the PS5 in April 2019. And now it's all about silence. Again, this speaks volumes.This isn't how marketing works...at all. The second your marketing plan revolves solely around your competitors is the moment your marketing team has lost the plot.
Sony is clearly marching to the beat of their own drum and marketing-wise, its the right move.

Crash was long dead and they even took him off their site until Sony intervened. Spyro was another story but by 2017 skylanders was already fading. That said they didn't tease Spyro at all, only Crash.Was Crash and Spyro IPs for sale?
Doubt Activision was trying to sell those IPs. Especially after the huge sucess of the Skylanders.

How you check it?I'm surprised XBOX is showcasing their new hardware with Halo, Gears, and Forza. The specs and internals are fantastic for us. I was really intrigued but how it all comes together.

So following their on path is awful what the hell is going on here.The beat of their own drum is awful. Simple as that. The PS5 marketing right now doesn't exist.

what do you want them to say? there's so much uncertainty right now. i bet behind the scenes, they're wondering if things are going to normalize sooner rather than later, and release the ps5 this year or not. if they don't even know that, then why would they announce a PSM or say much else about the ps5? face it, you're only upset cause xbox are mouthing off and you want sony to do the same. meanwhile, the ps4 is going to have plenty of games to play from now until june. chillThe beat of their own drum is awful.
