Is the PS5 behind schedule?

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.

Yeah, I still cant find what social media traction has to do with thread, but keep pushing it!
 
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.

Not to mention we also know:

4K Blu-ray drive
Hardware Ray Tracing
3D Audio

They are slowly leaving breadcrumbs for everyone leading up to the big reveal!

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.
Exactly, it's far more complicated and the next gen system hype on google search isn't 'playstation'and ' xbox' as it will include any search and then you get abbreviations like PS and XSX but regardless using the next gen consoles names you can see the spike from the stupid logo reveal shot up 'ps5' searches above 'xbox series x' .

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:


Huh, could have sworn MS was supporting the One 1-2 years into next gen. Now it's a bad thing to reveal a console a year out. Ok.
 
there are no sources, it was just a rumor.

That is what I was getting at, he was saying it like Sony for sure wanted to release it 2019, which there is no evidence to prove that, it is all rumors generated by us gamers. I am sure Sony had a plan to release in 2020 early on, they knew of AMD's roadmap way before we did so they knew what they wanted in the console and when it would be viable to market, I don't think 2019 was ever an option for them.

They do not want to cannibalize themselves because they still have a strong line up of games coming to PS4 like Dreams, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, The Last of Us 2, Ghost of Tsushima, Predator: Hunting Grounds to name a few. If they start promoting PS5 now, it can decrease PS4 sales.

What LOLz.

They’ve already revealed more than they had by the same point in 2013.

People need to chill the fuck out.
check OP's post history and the way he is defending xbox. this is not about wanting the PS5 or opinions about the delay, he was in the "Something feels off about Xbox Series X unveiling , a month later & it still don't feel like a next generation console was unveiled "and got put in his place there, which made him mad and angry and so he created this topic to get back at the people who attacked his beloved xbox.

Eehh... So you really wanna compare Sony games support for the Ps4 with Ms on Xbox one?


Xbox one support it's basically a way to hide that series x doesn't have new games on release.


Also... Halo, Hellblade 2 and what else is supposedly coming to Xbox this year? Do I need to post the Ps4 releases of 2020?

List wars sucks, but Xbox One was abandoned by MS after Gears....

yeah lets not do this. 1. it makes no sense to compare, 2. xbox will get destroyed if we do so 3. i really dont want a fanboy war going on here. Both consoles really offer value, otherwise they would not sell. we just need to make sure we dont feed all the trolls who want to start console war, we should be better than that.

Yeah how many people went to the VGA's ? A few hundred.

How many people watched it ? 45 million. Same logic applies to E3.
Announcements generate media coverage and view counts regardless of the format or location where they are made.
Gamers don't care about E3 or any other event for the event, they care for the news and those can come from anywhere as far as gamers are concerned.
Sony can do their own conference any other time, MUCH MUCH cheaper and get the same media coverage as doing it at E3.
Conferences at Gaming events are no longer necessary for announcements, those events nowadays are good for gamers to try out games, meet, get swag, go to Q&As, etc.
 
The real question is are you ready to handle the megatons they have in store as they start talking and showing PS5 content in the coming months!
 
Sony has revealed more at this time then when the PS4 launched. Of course, with Phil Spence making so much noise for the XSX, Sony had to respond. A lot was still kept closed to their chest, so we'll find out more in the next couple of months, with prices and specs possibly around E3 at Sony's own event.

This is all the marketing we need from both Sony and Microsoft.

Yes, they havent developed any console in this 5 years of success neither have any plans or games in development for PS5, they just scammed their fans and investors and just played with everyones hopes and dreams.

People were saying you are not legit because you say PS5 is 13tf and XSX is 12tf because these specs are also possible. But for now 11.8 and 12.5 no information on full BC design and final DS5

Hi there, I know that you are very excited, we all are!

Either go through the vetting process by sending me a PM or please cease the insider talk.

Refer to this post I made yesterday.


Thank you.

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.

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.


Let me throw another wrench into this.

 
1 - Haven't revealed anything at all.
The PS4 was revealed late February 2013, a couple of months before release, the PRO was revealed only about two months ahead of launch. So no rush, that strategy has worked for them so far.

Microsoft on the other hand are starving for attention - their games won't get it for them, not are their consoles are not breaking any sales record - they revealed the X about 18 months before it was revealed! So if these are your expectations, obviously you will be disappointed, these companies work very differently, and before you conclude that MS is just better at everything, keep in mind that not so long ago their only profitable products were Windows and Ms Office (I think you can add Azure and the hardware division now).

Heck, even when some people were casting doubt on their DRM strategy before the launch of the PS4 they waited pretty long to re-state in a way that could not be disproved the obvious (Shu said it in interviews before, but somehow people acted stupid and claimed it was not clear... because Sony only does what MS does)

2 - Haven't even announced a date for their own event
No need to do this too long before, I don't think this is relevant, unless you are very insecure.

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.
MS has showed up to tons of E3 and they had nothing (IMO) of value to show for it in about 10 years now! So I don't think this is that important to be at E3.

The press loves it because they can buy tickets, rent hotel rooms, etc. and have everyone in one place (Sony, MS, Nintendo, big publishers and some indies as well)... there are parties, etc. which is not a bad point.

However, I like a good presentation as much as the next guy, so I hope they have some proper event for the reveal.

4 - First announced title is Godfall, an average looking third party looter shooter ...
I can't say I'm enthusiastic for that game either, they could have told me that footage was for a PS4 game I would have believed them. 🤢🤮
 
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 :)
probably people saying that you have fake concerns just refuse to look at what is directly in front of them there is pretty much 0 concrete info about the ps5 outside of that logo

Bro, there's a thread confirming the reveal will be in less than 4 weeks? Are you serious?
 
Nah man serious question, preferences aside: if you have anything better to show why would you show Godfall, a 3rd party title as your first game? Felt a bit like filler don't you think?
Nah. Microsoft first party games this generation felt like filler. Probably going to happen again next gen too if they are waiting a while to show us the beef.

I have said this before and i will say it again:

Both MS and Sony are playing a cat and mouse game trying to bait each other in order to make the media force them to reveal their BIG cards first for the other to answer accordingly. IMO this is one of the main reasons why Sony is skipping E3 because they want to be as fluid as possible with their announcements this year. Same goes for MS.They are not going to unveil everything at E3 and let Sony have the final word. Only MS fanboys (and idiots) want Sony to rush and unveil everything about the PS5 before MS shows or says anything substantial hoping that MS will answer and come with the better market proposition. I'm only saying this because i've seen some MS fanboys who were hoping Sony to unveil everything about PS5 at CES.

Like it or not Sony has no reason to rush and unveil their cards since the PS4 is still destroying the competition worldwide (except Switch in Japan) and will continue to do so for at least another 2 years. MS fanboys better stop whining saying stupid things like "arrogant Sony is back" or that "Sony is confused" and realize that Sony will show WHAT they want to show,WHEN they want to show it and not even a minute earlier. Because they can simply afford to do it.

Shit, I was just thinking to myself I've gotten a Playstation every 6 years since 96, a year or 2 after launch. Sony better get their ass in gear!
 
Received death threats for this but I was kind of right. They were scrambling to overclock their GPU. If you watched yesterday's reveal it feels like the hardware went through some last-minute changes so that they don't lose face.

The hype Sony are building for the proper reveal is insane. Due to corona virus they probably won't unveil it to a theatre full of fans until it's safe to do so. Could be mid summer at this rate. IMO I think they should wait until after FF7, TLOU2 and Ghost of Tsushima launch.
