A very short summary

Sony wants to have real-time gameplay ready to show for the reveal along with the PS5 retail unit and price

Sony are confident that the silence will be forgotten once they show their games

Both consoles are very powerful

PS5 has a lot of customization done with the geometry engine: primitive shaders, etc

The SSDs are a huge part of the next generation

 

[Dr.brain64]

With the situation right now (AND THE ECONOMY), I suspect the ps5 to be postponed to the end of 2021.

Sony just said they expect PS5 to still release this year the other day, despite everything that's happening.

I think they announced that there won't be a delay but I could be wrong

i wish this happend or at least 2022

PS4 Deserve it more time to give the 100% of all their power.

I hope TLOU Part 2 dont come this year or at least in december.

They said it will release this year.

The only worry is enough supply to cover demand but we know that will never happen with a PlayStation console in modern days.

Nope. Production in China has been back at full swing for awhile now, console isn’t being delayed. Also, what happens to the economy remains to be seen. They’ll adjust production according to market analytics (as companies always do) but the chance of them letting Microsoft launch a year before them is literally zero.

 

[Vawn]

I'm sure it will. The question is - will you be able to actually find one at MSRP before late 2021? Same with Xbox.

 

[McHuj]

I'm sure it will. The question is - will you be able to actually find one at MSRP before late 2021? Same with Xbox.

I'm ok with it even if I'm not able to get one.

I want the ball to start rolling on next-gen. I want to see next-gen games out.

 

[Psykodad]

The bigger question for me atm is whether or not I get my contract at work renewed, with all the corona stuff going on. I'll worry about PS5 pricing and availability after I sign my contract. Lol

 

[sonomamashine]

they still figuring out the cooling system.

It really hasn’t.

Dont know about impact on specific plants relevant to PS5 and SeX production but in general terms China's production is still largely shut down in many areas.

 

[Portugeezer]

They have 3 huge exclusive games left this year, maybe they don't want people to look too far forward towards PS5 just yet. Either way, I'm more worried about production issues than any other reason, they probably don't want to show their cards too early.

MS might talk about Google and Amazon being the competition, but Sony is not in any doubt about who their direct competition is.

 

[Shin]

Marketing, diehards or tryhards rather keep the talks going without having even getting a proper showing or all the tidbits.
Why would they want to unfold everything when they can drag things on a bit longer and keep momentum up?
The moment they post something or even farted it becomes a headline, fully knowing that why they ain't fretting.
It's practically April already, give or take 2 months more and I reckon everything will unfold - it has to if they want to launch this year.

 

[Windows-PC]

I highly believe that Sony hasn't shown the PlayStation 5 Design and further Details about the PlayStation 5 until now because they are unsecure, and not as confident about their Product anymore than Microsoft are in the XBox Series X.

They just sold around 70 million more units than their competitor, I don't think they're that worried

 

[Lukin1978]

It's minimum 8 months to launch why show anything now.

 

[BatSu]

They haven't perfected the logo yet.

 

[chilleverest]

because they dont feel like it yet.

 

[CatLady]

I'm sure it will. The question is - will you be able to actually find one at MSRP before late 2021? Same with Xbox.

Sad but true.

 

[DESTROYA]

they still figuring out the cooling system.

They already said it will have a pretty sophisticated cooling solution. Nice try, not sure what your trying to accomplish with this low effort post.
I‘m guessing there waiting for there own show to reveal more info

Report: PlayStation 5 Will Have a 'Lavish' Cooling System, Better Than the PS4 - PlayStation LifeStyle

Reports say that the PS5 cooling system is a "lavish" and pricey component, more than double what manufacturers usually pay for this kind of part.

[ZywyPL]

So it's gonna be so disgusting that they want to shift away all the attention to games? Interesting approach if true.

Sony are confident that the silence will be forgotten once they show their games

Just as it was suppose to already happen after the specs reveal? Graphics don't impress me much nowadays, let alone seeing 10th UC2 clone/dad simulator in a row. Sony needs more variety like during PS3/PS2/PSX, Mattrick is no longer there to give them another free win, they will need to do better than that.

I'm sure it will. The question is - will you be able to actually find one at MSRP before late 2021? Same with Xbox.

Yeah, PS4 was actually around 600 for the first 6-9 months, and with current COVID situation I feel the history will repeat itself and there won't be enough supplies to cover the demand for next-gen consoles.

 

[Azelover]

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. I don't think they've ever made a full unveiling without some kick-ass technical demos, and even early footage of games that look incredible. The suspicion is that this time it's been taking a while to get it right. I expect greatness!

 

[Foamy]

MiyazakiHatesKojima would have you believe they haven't shown it because it doubles as a time machine and prints out million dollar bills.

 

[JLB]

I'm sure it will. The question is - will you be able to actually find one at MSRP before late 2021? Same with Xbox.

well, late 2021 seems a bit too much, but yeah, probably will be shortages for a few months.

 

[Vawn]

Can you prove otherwise?

 

[sonomamashine]

Why are you asking him ? he's just in charge of Death Stranding.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

 

[Vawn]

A few months wouldn't be surprising under normal circumstances. One year might actually be generous. The Wii was nearly impossible to find in store for years.

The one wild card is people's disposable income whenever life gets back to normal. A lot of people aren't working and might not be in position to consider spending $500+ on an entertainment box.

 

[Sosokrates]

Probably because they dont want to make to much noise before TLOU2 release, I expect we will get a blowout around E3 time.

PS4 has plenty of variety, and so will PS5

 

[Hobbygaming]

I think you're right. TLOU Part II is huge for Sony

 

[Hobbygaming]

Yeah I agree, I think they might be going for a 2016 E3 kind of reveal as far as some big games being shown. Only time will tell

 

[LordOfChaos]

They're still figuring out...Logistics.

 

[Entroyp]

Sony showed the PS4 at E3 2013 (around june).. so maybe around june for PS5 as well.

And don’t worry it can’t be uglier than the XsX.

 

[Captain Hero]

Mark Cerny is why ..

 

[hunthunt]

They could show it in November and still would be the best selling console by a large margin.

 

[Lanrutcon]

It's a time of great uncertainty.

Biding their time seems to be the best strategy to combat risk.

 

[SleepDoctor]

Its most likely not ready to be shown. They've been very quiet for this upcoming gen. They're probably behind schedule on a few things.

 

[Sosokrates]

They could show it in November and still would be the best selling console by a large margin.

I think people are going to be surprised how competitive xbox is in native English speaking countries, Mexico and some euro countries.
Especially at launch. However I agree playstation will sell more consoles.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Next gen is a wrap for SONY, filling the shoes of the PS4 will be EASY.

 

[Entroyp]

Mexico? Maybe last generation but not so Much this generation. Or maybe all I have is anecdotal information from all my friends switching to Playstation this gen.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

It's already March, the system shell should already be done.

With no E3, all game devs will probably do an online show in June. Sony will show it then.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I’m just wondering when. Mid-April? Sooner? Later? Let’s see the goods

 

[Foamy]

They can't decide what colour to make it without risking insulting an ethnic group in 2020.

 

[VincentMatts]

There is no doubt in my mind that the PS5 is behind schedule. To not even show the form factor at GDC is absolutely crazy to me. Unless Microsoft is really ahead of schedule, and maybe that made our expectations unrealistic a bit, but it just doesn’t make sense to me that we still don’t know what it looks like. What is there to hide at this point unless you’re still designing the thing.

If I had to guess I'd say they're waiting on 1 or 2 game demos to be finished along with waiting till after TLOU II ships

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

It will be smoke and mirrors tech demo’s galore at the reveal, as is tradition for PlayStation.

 

[Jtibh]

They said it will release this year.

The only worry is enough supply to cover demand but we know that will never happen with a PlayStation console in modern days.

Xbox has a higher chance to release this year.
Ps5 is using way more custom.parts outside the gpu cpu.

I do want it to release in november but until i see preorders go live i am not counting on it.

There is also peoples financial situation which is to say if this shit goes on for another 2 months or more people will be lucky to afford food .

Also if this shit goes on till the end of year no retail will be open so online orders only?

 

[Birdo]

They are redesigning it to look like a roll of toilet paper.
