I've seen one at Target. It's under "future release" products...

 

[Walter Matthau]

They clearly must be hiding something.

There were PS4s all over the streets prior to Sony announcing a launch date. You couldn’t go anywhere without nearly tripping over one.

Have you seen an Xbox series x been turned on? We've seen just dummy units and renders of both next gen machines.

Were you just making fun of the OP?

I have trouble with humor sometimes.

It is ok. I also have hard time telling if people are being sarcastic or serious when commenting online. I know that OP was probably trying to stir some shit which I did not care about. My FUD thing was from franXico

I see what you mean. It's true that with Geoff we didn't know what he played the game on. Honestly that video was more of a preview of the controllers capabilities than the actual console itself. For the system itself we have footage that was captured on it to help tell us what it's capable of.

To be fair we really haven't seen a demo where someone just sticks a game into the actual hardware and starts to play it. And that goes for both systems BTW. Even this close to launch there's still alot that we don't know about.

 

[Vawn]

I got two already. I just don't feel like uploading pics.

They do look big sitting next to my Xbox Series X and my Switch Pro.

 

[Darklor01]

I don’t think using up functioning hardware where there might be a potential limited supply which could be sold for demo units works in Sony’s favor.
Combine that with the fact no store owner wants patrons hanging around in their stores to play due to COVID and it’s easy an easy decision to not have them.

As for seeing the tear down, Cerny said that will come along with a look at their cooling solution. I’m not concerned about that. I’m more concerned with price, securing a pre order, and maybe even buying added storage since that won’t be cheap.

Great question! Let's see...



Within the first 3 minutes the console is plugged in and turned on! The issue here is that there are many who are claiming that the new Xbox has 'problems' and might be delayed despite the fact there are multiple hand-ons, videos of teardowns, and even a hot chip technical review. PS5 has had NONE of those things yet there is nothing wrong there at all. It just shows how silly the Xbox 'concerns' have grown.

I am actually just trying to make people think critically, question everything unless of course your're employed by Sony and are afraid to get fired.

 

[Hobbygaming]

Where are the tear down or build up videos for PS5? Where are youtubers hands on impressions with the actual hardware, how come there aren't any demo units in the wild. Do any of you not think this is strange soooooo close to launch?

Not as strange as no games running on the XSX

 

[MasterCornholio]

I still think the hardware exists.

Even if there were currently demo units in stores what would be the incentive for the retailer?

"This PS5 looks awesome. How much is it?" - customer
"Don't know." - worker
"Can I preorder it here?" - customer
"No." - worker
"When does it come out?" - customer
"Don't know." - worker
"Thank you. I'm leaving the store now." - customer
"Thank you for playing the PS5." - worker

Technically yes. He did plug in the Xbox Series X and a power light did come on.

I do not think either console is fake and I do not really think either is being delayed (at least not yet). I do find it funny how much people are willing to grasp to show up the "other side."

 

[EverydayBeast]

YouTube will be flooded with PS5 videos and that’s fantastic

These are great points too!

everything this time around is super strange

no price, no hands on, no demo units, no/only a few confirmed launch titles...

 

[buizel]

Have you seen an actual vagina?

edit: now i want a beef sandwhich

 

[DogofWar]

I have a friend who's brother works for Nintendo and he said that PS5 is a lie. Sony will profit from preorders and then just dissapear!
All of it so far has been a lead up to this final scam.

I knew it.

Biggest scam in console gaming history and people are just going to fall for it.

 

[Pallas]

Depends, we all here assumed that the reason we haven’t seen games running on the series X is because the games aren’t ready yet. I think you can’t call one more stranger than the other.

There could be production issues with the PS5, also maybe they just don’t want to show it yet because “they don’t have to”

I think we can both agree that Covid-19 pandemic has hampered both companies in many different ways.

 

[NullZ3r0]

No one has seen a real PS5, but everything is okay because Sony is God and Cerny is his only-begotten Son.

When you're having production issues you don't ramp up your production

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

I am going to say that I don't think the xsx will be delayed or anything, but a plastic box with a led is easy to make. I am not claiming that is what is showin in that video.

 

[Virex]

Imagine if Sony skipped PS5 and went right to PS6.

Knack 3 PS6 launch confirmed!

 

[Spaceman292]

I think one came within 5 miles of me. I could tell because the entire neighbourhood was cast in shadow.

 

[DogofWar]

I knew it.

Yes, that is why Sony even uses the "only hardcore fans can preorder". To extort as much money as possible from the gullible fanboys while then escaping with the money. The Sony executives will then start a new company that only focuses on Pachinko machines and move to Argentina to escape justice.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Walmart has a gaming magazine called “Gamecenter”. I picked one up for free when I bought a game from them a while ago. Honestly, I don’t necessarily want to watch in depth views of the console. I want that new console feeling like I’ve always had. The cover of the magazine you can make out the front ports very well.

 

[NullZ3r0]

Sony doesn't need to right now.

When you have an army of fanboys and paid shills too preoccupied with spreading FUD about the competition, they don't ask the important questions.

 

[NullZ3r0]

It’s still under strict NDA

Stands for No Device Around.

 

[NullZ3r0]

I don't know don't you think the plastic blades are for something? Maybe you think it's some sort of pooper scooper but then there's this.

Doesn't that look familiar?

Also Sony still said they are launching this year so I'm assuming they are launching the actual hardware.

I mean a delay can still happen but it's very unlikely after they said all this. As for the hardware it actually exists and we have seen games run on it.

Its obvious they dev kits exist.

 

[JustP_Gaming]

So then they should be able to yank one of those 10million units in production and demo it, tear it down etc. No?

They were mostly talking about next gen xbox games. Not retro-games running on the new console.

 

[supernova8]

I think both are equally as strange actually.

Microsoft has as much opportunity as Sony to show games running on devkit hardware so, at least for me, the fact that we've practically seen no XSX-target games is the stranger of the two.

 

[DarkMage619]

The stranger of the two is the system who's hardware has been shown and torn down is doubted but the system no one outside of Sony has seen is believed. You like Sony better you are free to do so but 'concern' about MS and Xbox is ridiculous. MS has been far more forthcoming about both their hardware and software maybe even to a fault.

I had no idea they had a magazine. That’s actually pretty cool if it’s any good.

In looking at the image, thinking about those potential interchangeable plates, I wonder whether that works with the disc version. I guess it would depend how they mounded that drive. Could still be doable though.

 

[Dr Bass]

The iPhone 12 obviously doesn’t exist either.

 

[Abear21]

This is Rockstar level secrecy. They say the closer we get to launch the more likely there will be leaks...yeah, they don’t know shit.

Sony and MS have done a great job keeping everything zipped up tight and the most obvious answer is that production is slow or fault ridden and supplies will be scarce.

I thought the price/release date and tear down would happen at Gamescom, instead we got juicy bits of info about wifi...the flood gates have to open soon. Mybodyisready.gif

 

[JustP_Gaming]

Well then I await that moment but its mighty close to release.

 

[Ten_Fold]

Probably won’t see anything till late September or early October of some crazy Ps5 console leak.

I've hardly left my house for 6 months straight. That's strange. Not seeing more of a product that hasn't been released yet isn't strange. Now come inside and eat your dinner OP

It's coming they still have to reveal the cooling solution too along with the launch lineup

That was actually a waste of my time to read. Try again next time with more substance and you can leave out the self portrait next time umm Kay thanks..

I’ve got two under the bed in the spare room stuffed next to an old kerplunk board game and a stash of porn mags.
