doesn't justify it, trolls and liars will always be the there, all that Sony needs to do is show the console and announce some new games for PS5 and no one will even pay attention to these people, so Sony's silence ain't helping
It still doesn't justify this kind of FUD/Bullshit and even if they were showing everything, this kind of rumor would still be unjustified since it talks about a non-existing issue that's hard to prove until release time.

But it's too soon to show it now. Usually consoles are shown at E3 no? Only because MS broke the norm and showed it too early doesn't mean Sony is doing it wrong.

Now if they don't show it at E3 time, then........................

Sony has to blame themselves for Xbox fanboys spreading FUD? Might want to reread your comment and try again.
Let me get this right: you actually believe Sony is just allowing Xbox to run away with the narrative for next gen -- scratch that -- DOMINATE the next gen narrative and set the precedent because they think it lines up perfectly with their agenda to dominate next gen like they did this gen???

If this is all wrong, why won't they come out and make corrections? Why are there still so many unaswered questions with only vague statements to silence those who want to know? Why havent we seen the actual PS5 or the controller? Why have they been so quiet among all this negative press? And the longer they continue to be silent instead of crystal clear like their competition, the worse the PR for the PS5 gets. And there's alot of it.

Microsoft is consistently transparent. They've revealed a hell of a lot more than Sony has at this point. We know just about everything aside from the price. Phil was on not one, but TWO different episodes of Unlocked with IGN with consistently good news about whats going on behind the scenes damn near back-to-back. All of this hurts Sony while they continue to keep being vague and silent among all the negative press.

I think it was even mentioned that Xbox is about done with the Hardware talk. What happens when they start showing new Ip's running on the Series X and still, Sony remains quiet?

I said before earlier this year, I think Sony might end up canceling the release of the PS5 at some point for at least 6 months to a year in order to get their act together. I mean, they canceled nearly every single one of their shows starting with E3 2020 LAST YEAR. The only tangible thing we've seen about the PS5 (as in hardware) is the logo. Thats the ONLY thing thats been clear about the PS5.

Something definitely stinks in Sony's camp. Legit.

Sony can only blame themselves for this because of their shitty communication

Not really. Other devs haven't been talking about this but we're supposed to believe some dude that has an uncle who works for someone that's knows some people? C'mon, now. That's like believing CNN is covering anything legitimately.

This is one of the worst posts/replies I've ever seen and not just for you.

Another xbox discord group conspiracy theory? Wasn't there one of these about github being some plot hatched by xbox fans? Anyways I'm sure things will be fine, but I trust Jez a whole lot more than Jason Schreir. If Jez says he's heard similar things I tend to believe it. He's actually been the one who has gotten accurate information about next gen consoles so far. Jason Schreier has been wrong nearly every step of the way.

Bruh, seriously. If there wasnt something going on with Sony, there wouldnt be so many articles attempting to explain just exactly what is the PS5. You dont see this many articles about the Series X. There's a reason for that. Their message has been crystal clear from the gate. That's my only point. They've done a fantastic job revealing the console, relaying what it is and what it brings to the table for next gen. We're simply not getting that from Sony. Again, there's a reason for that.

Are you serious? You need to catch up on the news regarding that discord group: it's a real group and they exist.

Also, imagine trusting a proven FUD spreader over an actual industry member like Jason Schreier.

Maybe because both companies have different marketing plans and strategies?

It's understandable that Sony's silence brings skepticism, but this thread is mainly about these childish FUD/bullshit rumors spread deliberately across this forum and other social channels.

How does this justify spreading FUD/Bullshit about something that doesn't even exist?
Simple: by having a transparent and constant communication strategy. PS fans crave AND deserve the same info Xbox fans have had from Microsoft about XSX from the first day. That is how a company keeps FUD out and mouths shut: with info and facts.

Sony being quiet only feeds the trolls and naysayers. Same thing happened with Nintendo until they revealed the Switch: doom and gloom everywhere and FUD spewed out by every single gaming site. They learned their lesson and they're being kind of transparent now.

I understand that. But there's actually more evidence to prove that perhaps things arent going well with the PS5 than believing everything is fine.

And I wholly disagree that their marketing strategies involve allowing their strongest competitor to run away with next gen narrative and setting the precedent while they keep their head in the sand. That's just not smart. MHO

Well, we know you like these guys so it doesn't surprise us that you would say this. :messenger_grinning_sweat:

You went on and on about how PS5 might not have RT even thought Cerny said it would be in the PS5.

Are you people actually serious?

This is the best you got? Because a company decides to dripfeed info on it's next-gen console during a pandemic and an economic recession justifies FUD/Bullshit being spread about something that doesn't even exist and has been debunked?

It's the same thing all the time


PlayStation 4 Pro Melting rumors created by an Xbox fanboy


PlayStation 5 Overheating rumors created by an Xbox fanboy

Whenever big triple A title release, Xbox fanboys always scream downgrade.

No, it's starts with the fanboys. Xbox community members on social media are close and have no problem spreading misinformation.

Sony wants to reveal things on their own time, that doesn't give these guys the right to make up bogus rumors.

Where is this evidence?

Post it in the thread so we cam critically evaluate its validity.
Its right in front of us!

1) The first ACTUAL reveal of the PS5 was the logo.

2) Sony canceled E3 2020 well before the epidemic. And many shows after.

3) The Hardware specs of the PS5 are being questioned and doubted, UNCHECKED.

4) With all the pressure put on by Series X, we still have no idea what the form factor is or have we seen a controller -- nothing concrete.

5) As of now, Microsoft owns the narrative. Hands down! Why hasnt Sony came with their own interviews to balance out the headlines about the PS5?

There's more. Much more. But I think you get my point. This has nothing to do with their strategy as I can guarantee Sony didnt plan on Microsoft coming in with 12 TF console and allowing them to dominate headlines. not to mention allow all the negative press that's been circling the internet. Sony's good, but they cant afford to just sit by and let this continue. Their fans are loyal. Not stupid....

Yes, I'm quite serious. That's how bussinesses PR works. In fact, there's only one other company whose products are popular enough for people to crave info from and stays secretive until the last minute: Apple.

BUT...Sony ain't Apple: they don't have a "leakers" strategy like Apple and don't go to every newslet to do PR. Instead they've been quiet.

And yes, silence also delivers a message...and not a good one: means they don't control the narrative.

Sony won this generation for only 2 reasons: Microsoft's ineptitude at launch, AND controlling the narrative. If they want to win the next generation. they have to control the narrative. They have to get people talking about what they want, shutting up trolls, dissmissing FUD and get Jim Ryan talking at every single media outlet.

I, for one, as a consumer, want to have straight and honest info about PS5 simply because I need to evaluate which of the two next-gen consoles will bring me more value for my money.

Sony is NOT putting a blower cooler in this console.... and if they DO I am NOT buying it!

But seriously feels like they’ve learned something. I’m optimistic.

Lets say Jim Ryan comes out tomorrow with an announcement that PS5 has a water-cooling system.

Would you still believe the FUD/bullshit because you'd see this as damage control?

My point for the thread is not to believe FUD/Bullshit about the PS5 overheating since no actual developer to this day or anyone with credible history in the industry has corroborated this childish rumor.
