Is the PS5 behind schedule?

In which imaginary world the PS5 logo reveal got more press or traction than the Series X reveal? I can provide Google search trends to show that's totally false

Of course it's only trends on Google but it's the most solid indicator of interest. If you have a tool that can track interest better or is more representative than Google please share.

You're comparing apples to oranges. To show you what I mean:

You can't compare a specific search string such as "ps5 logo" with a broader string like "Xbox series X". The graph above shows the apples to apples comparison of "Xbox series X" against "ps5" with "ps5 logo" left in as a reference point. It's also worth noting when "ps5" gets a sudden uptick in interest, it's not a coincidence.

For what it's worth this would be the apples to apples comparison as far as Google trends goes:


And to answer your question:

What's funny about this is that despite coming after a competitor doing a whole console reveal, the logo still managed to get more press and social media traction.
HAHA yeah, the xbox reveal was such a shitshow, suddenly at the game awards. I dont think anyone is hyped for that thing, rather play on pc and get myself a ps5. when the logo of a console generates more hype than your console reveal, you need to get out of the industry.

Hey, I didn't see your comment.

What I meant by disastrous was the show itself, terrible presentation and rubbish format.
Well fix that in your first post

3 - Not showing up to E3... Do they have nothing to show ? Consensus last year was they had nothing to show for 2019 and a disastrous E3 2018.

You implied SONY had a bad E3 and how did that affect them ?Did they lose console sales? Game sales?
What does that tell you that no one gives a shit about E3 anymore so who cares if they do E3.
If your going to make a crazy statement at least back it up man.

Indeed, Microsoft should get out of the industry... That will be great for competition and consumers...

If nobody cares about E3 then who gives a shit about "100 of local events" that are supposedly attending instead? It's like saying nobody cares about the World Cup but what's important is showing up at the 2nd division finals in Kazakhstan, Albania and Sri Lanka.

According to Google data, at the time of the PS5 reveal Xbox series X was trending 15>2. even if Series X reveal was already weeks old Really curious to see where you had the feeling that it gained more traction besides on the OFFICIAL playstation Instagram or whatever.
Nobody is going to search for 'PS5 logo' but it did experience a nice spike with just a stupid logo reveal. Look at this trend

We are talking Sony not others attending. E3 is not as popular or important as it was back in the day, you make it sound like E3 is mandatory for success, it’s not.
Don’t turn this to soccer talk that’s just stupid and has nothing to do with this.
E3 needs SONY more than SONY needs E3’

because local events are places people can actually visit. E3 is press and industry only. Your comparison makes no sense.

Or look at this trend!

Basically it doesn't really matter that much. The playstation brand is much stronger than the xbox brand, hence their sales... Knowing the uphill battle Microsoft has since the Xbox One reveal I'm surprised they didn't went digital only. They have been doing better the past few years, very consumer friendly features and services, but they are definitely not at Playstation level of appreciation, and it's going to take a while to get there. If Sony just keeps building great games and great systems, then they just have to follow on features and services to stay ahead.

Actually, from what we've heard, it seems like it's the Xbox that is behind -- in terms of getting development kits out, and in terms of having exclusives built for the system ready to go.

This crossed my mind today:

1 - Haven't revealed anything at all.
2 - Haven't even announced a date for their own event
3 - Not showing up to E3... Do they have nothing to show ? Consensus last year was they had nothing to show for 2019 and a disastrous E3 2018.
4 - First announced title is Godfall, an average looking third party looter shooter ...

It's like they have nothing to show for the moment, I stress "for the moment".

What they have shown so far (an obvious logo design and a 3rd party game) feels a bit "weak"

EDIT: Just a thought that crossed my mind guys, don't send death threats to my home :)

PS4 still going strong. A lot of games coming out.

No need to stress about being too late. They will take their time.

You acting like you don't get the point is stupid. Not me adding a football analogy for you to understand.

When you actually make a point to get then it wont be stupid, so far your striking out! Is that a good enough sports reference that has no bearing on the thread.

Sony knows what they're doing, they've done this many times now. They are on their schedule. Revealing too much, too soon isn't ideal from a marketing perspective.

They'll reveal specs, hardware, price and games dependent on when is best for them.

Aight buddy whatever. I'm looking forward to E3 + other events. You'll enjoy your local events. It's all good!

Huh? Wtf 😂

Didn't know PS4 was announced at the VGA 2019. So yeah I think you're done here.
we where talking about logic, not the announcement of ps4 at the vga, Dont twist words because with each post you are making, you are looking more and more like a 12 year old who has no good arguments and attacks everyone who put you in your place and so far it has been everyone. each and everyone one of them showed you how dumb your posts are. but you keep at it and pretend you are not a xbox fanboy.

Threads like this, make me realize that some people are really anxious about their choice of game platform.

I really shouldn't care, but I personally just hate it when logic is thrown out the window, even for trivial things.

it could also be that the person who made the thread, was too young to remember the year PS4 launched? i am not going to assume anything. They could really not know what it was like back then.

No need to get pissy just back up your posts with some actual facts next time, that’s all. When you post opinions to be facts is what most people don’t get.
Nothing personal but I’m looking forward to E3 too just with Sony not being there and that’s OK.

the thing is, tons of people tried to explain it to the OP, he just doesn't want to hear it, he has some very strong opinions and when you prove him wrong ( which has happend countless of times here ) he attacks the person. so I am sorry it just seems like the OP is trying to stir shit up

Oh so now it's personal?

You said shows like E3 don't reach people, showed you were wrong , and now I'm a 12-year-old ? Okay fine with me if it makes you feel good.

The thread is marked as OPINION. Only people who are insecure get all worked up by people's opinions that don't go their way. I can't wait for E3 and hope you have fun at the town event Sony is cooking up.

I'ts not personal, I'ts just how you come across. I never said E3 does not reach people, I said it does not reach the casual gamers, it reaches the hardcore gamers. and the fact the ps4 sold 103 million units, which is more than how many people watched the E3 and VGA combined, proves it. Tons of people think that consoles are dependent on E3, which they are not. Nintendo has not been at E3 for a while, care to explain why they are selling so many switch units? See. i can give you facts, all you are doing is throwing around mud. Keep acting like a 12 year old and get treated like one. but i am done educating you. You'll enjoy your opinions now and your e3.

I'm sorry can't take you seriously when you keep on making up stuff or responding by non-relevant responses.

Sony's previously announced game-plan as laid out by their CEO is to "crouch down so we can jump higher than ever before".

Which translates to me as silence, silence, silence, SHOCK AND AWE.

You're doing it wrong man, you dont search "PS5 Logo" on Google, you search "PS5", so you need to compare Xbox series X and Ps5..... you the will find that "PS5" is a term more "popular" than "Xbox Series X".
 
the thing is, tons of people tried to explain it to the OP, he just doesn't want to hear it, he has some very strong opinions and when you prove him wrong ( which has happend countless of times here ) he attacks the person. so I am sorry it just seems like the OP is trying to stir shit up
That reminded me of what happened when i did some research on what the word "Heresy", really meant.

"Heresy", is something that is proven 100% true, but if you think about it too much then you would lead to conclusions that harms one's existing beliefs. Heresy is something that a believer should avoid at all costs, and also try not to think about them when ever possible.

Essentially, Heresy is truth that is damaging to faith. And a believer must be duty bound to look away when ever heresy presents itself.

Reading up all that, i started to understand why so many people seemed to run away from facts and truths.

Really buddy? we are all talking about the presentations and you share a fucking booth of nintendo? the whole conversation we had was about Live streams and presentations of the big 3 at E3 and now you share booths? LOL and you are the one who says you cant take me serious? we all know Nintendo did a Direct and did not hold a conference at E3. the whole point of the conversation was REACHING AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE., but you decide to talk about their booth, which would mean its for local people only right? normal people dont fly over the world to attend E3 right? SO that single booth nintendo had was a local event, something which you are against. I am done educating you all the time. enjoy my ignore list. byeeeeeee

God the level of ignorance around here is baffling. Nobody with a functioning brain should believe that the PS5 is behind schedule when you compare it to all recent console history, specifically the PS4.

Here are the facts:
1. We actually know far more about the PS5 right now than we did about the PS4 at this time.
Based on two Wired interviews:
2. We know that they will have an ultra fast SSD.
3. We know that it will be based on Ryzen2/Navi
4. We know that it will use some form of GDDR6 memory.
5. We know it's coming holiday 2020.


That's a whole lot more official information that we had about the PS4 at this time in 2013.

Most importantly, we know that there will be a press event some time in February and it will have a lot of eyes glued on it.
We also know about some controller enhancements.

its not a good look. they feel asleep at the wheel. they have allowed a lot of bad rumors to fester for months. github leaks shouldve been countered if they were incorrect. took 6 months to clear up the hardware rt confusions. ms's vga reveal shouldve been countered. ces logo reveal was a joke. e3 cancellation announcement came with zero other announcements.

its still early days so they might blow us away, but in terms of PR its been lackluster and doesnt instill confidence.

Long paragraph for nothing. You said they haven't been there for a while. False. They have been at every E3. There's nothing else to talk about.

You do know that they have quite a few of Ps4 games coming and they want to sell those, right?

MS gave up on the One.... While the Ps4 is still alive and kicking...

Sony is in no hurry with the PS5.... Or do you really think that Sony cares about Godfall? :messenger_squinting_tongue:

Totally true. PS4 is still selling like hotcakes and would continue to sell if it weren't for the next generation. If Sony didn't have competition releasing a new console, they really would have no reason to release a new one for another 2 or so years.
