Support NeoGAF

[no_sea_comemierda]

sorry to the fud spreaders you have failed again. I want to mention a few names in this thread but i am in a super good mood for tomorrow night.

Do not, thts the old bait and well report you tactic.

 

[TheGreatWhiteShark]

Exactly! And I, with my vast experience in the industry can tell..that shows a lot of detail on the.....silicon......thingies......and stuff. And stuff! Wow! What cutting edge tech! So cool I can't even explain it to you all......just....you wouldn't understand the silicon thingies and the details. Hopefully AMD or someone will simplify the description for the peasants so that everyone can understand what I understand now!

here, have a roadmap

 

[BlueXImpulse]

if you pay attention to the reply sony sent, it says that they never changed plans since the beginning of production.
that would be ~6mil until end of march according to all earlier reports.
so, "shut it down", I am not so sure about it, at least from this statement.
They never issued a "this is false" statement when the reports were running wild, first about 11mil and then about 15mil until end of march.

You have just over 24 hours.

 

[DaGwaphics]

Unofficially, wifi6 will kill you. So the pro consumer company cares about your life and doesn't wanna give you that poison.

Finally, someone gets it.

 

[Danlord]

the gun on the left was in first DLC, but it didn't look as good as in this pic

I'm not saying you're lying or whatever because I've not played it before but could you try find a comparative screenshot. I haven't played Spiderman yet as I was hoping it'd get a PS5 version alongside Miles Morales as a rumour said and would be great for me to jump in.

 

[Empire Strikes Back]

It defiantly is... but it's also super weird. I think they're proud of their work as they should be. If RDNA 2 rumors are true.

MS shares AMD visions on general gaming, across PCs and consoles. It's a no brainer for a blog post like that to happen, just see how AMD casually plugs in their RX 6000 series on a 4K120 headline. On the other hand, Sony to AMD is just another semi-custom customer with all that entails.

By the way, both are custom RDNA 2, 'rumours' about this are pointless.

 

[Neo Blaster]

Wtf is this ?? Why r people there 28 hours early thirst is real

COVID made shop lines prohibited this time, let them have their fun.

COVID made shop lines prohibited this time, let them have their fun.

Any virtual bon fires?

 

[TheGreatWhiteShark]

Well, You are right if we can trust the "early report" too... Which I doubt we can...

The thing is that sony never before issued a statement saying "nope, the 6mill figure is wrong" / "the 11mill figure is wrong" / "the 15mill figure is wrong"

You have just over 24 hours.

Can you even participate in a conversation like a normal, semi-reasonable human being?
I have 24 hours for what exactly?

 

[Darklor01]

It takes a very long time to create those text art images that somehow spell out penis or something more creative like RIP PS5 for the chat sidebar. Got to get a head start.

 

[smallpotatosan]

omg, guys, ever since the stupid Chinese spy chip article, Bloomberg has lost all its credibility with anything silicon related. just move on.

told ya so I'm sorry Bloomberg is not as authentic as people tend to believe

 

[BlueXImpulse]

Can you even participate in a conversation like a normal, semi-reasonable human being?

There's nothing to converse about. Sony shut down the reports, it would be semi-reasonable of you to understand that and to stop spreading FUD.

The point is Sony started mass production in June/July with a target number we don't know and whatever that target was they are meeting it with no major issues. It not only debunks this latest article but also at least 1 of the the reporters 2 earlier articles that Sony didn't bother to comment on as they probably didn't affect the share price.

 

[DaGwaphics]

Well, You are right if we can trust the "early report" too... Which I doubt we can...

Which was obvious from the beginning tbh. Why would a company give manufacturing estimates to the press?

We'll see who has what number of units globally when the numbers start to roll in.

well thats a nice start
As I said these minigun brutes were introduced IIRC in DLC no1, with the Italian mobs. if you search for "the heist" I am sure you will find plenty

 

[Captain Hero]

It’s not random ..






That’s the PS5 price


no shit lol

 

[LiquidRex]

Sweet

 

[Danlord]

I meant no disrespect, just wanting you to show proof that's all so it'd be compared but I can use your search terms, cheers.

 

[AeneaGames]

If we all repost the same stuff over and over we can reach page 8000 before November!

 

[WhispersintheWind]

I can’t confirm this. But Rumor through sources and they are third and fourth hand rumors. Is Sony PS5 Emails will get first Pre Orders. Then Retail stores will get Pre Orders availability.

Yes, I already wrote this when I first posted the news, that with this statement basically sony calls "false" BOTH reports of increasing production because of covid-expected increased sales.
They did not care to do it before though..

There's nothing to converse about. Sony shut down the reports, it would be semi-reasonable of you to understand that and to stop spreading FUD.

I'm putting you on ignore, and maybe its better for your ...happiness that you do the same.

 

[WhispersintheWind]

No shit.

Sorry that statement didn’t met you journalist standards. Just passing it along.

 

[jose4gg]

The thing is that sony never before issued a statement saying "nope, the 6mill figure is wrong" / "the 11mill figure is wrong" / "the 15mill figure is wrong"

Yep, and I understand that, at this point, I won't be sure about the 6M or the 11M or the 15M, Sony didn't release a statement because other reports where just estimations without a bad press, removing 4M from 15M because of manufacturer issues definitely is BAD press they needed to get rid off.

 

[LiquidRex]

Sony: "We have not changed the production number for PlayStation 5"

Update: Sony has reached out to GamesIndustry.biz with the following statement denying the Bloomberg report:“While we d…

[kyliethicc]

You're stating the same thing Sony already said publicly.

 

[saintjules]

Never seen the lines outside a store? lol they think this stuff is coming out day of the livestream

 

[AeneaGames]

Calling on AeneaGames

I wanna see some dance moves from ya.

[THE:MILKMAN]

Right, which leaves us in the position that no reports of PS5 production numbers can be believed. We just have to wait for the first sales number reports from around the world to get decent estimates unless it sells gangbusters and Sony put out a press release to brag.

 

[WhispersintheWind]

You're stating the same thing Sony already said publicly.

Well it was implied and maybe I didn’t put it out there bluntly. But sources believe Email Pre Orders will start in the next week. And then retail chains after. I can’t confirm the details 100%, but I can hear my Discover Card racking up some charges soon...lol

 

[Darklor01]

They are iphone customers. Just leave them be. National Geographic says this is their natural behavior.

 

[BlueXImpulse]

 

[Gamerguy84]

Ive been wondering about the launch. How many units are allocated to what countries?

How many units are needed per country? I'm sure there will be shortages anyway.

Since sony are doing the email thing 1st and forum goers are the hardcore users maybe Evilore could secure a GAF deal with them and we all get 2nd crack at them before Amazon if we all promise to get Gold.

Haha. Would be nice though.

 

[Nickolaidas]

I'm looking forward to the new gen, but not hyped for anything in particular right now other than general tech advancement -- load times, ray tracing, etc. -- and Demon's Souls. Oh, if Bloodborne gets a significant BC improvement at some point that'll be big.

Did you manage to beat the Fume Knight solo, and if yes, was your character naked at the time?

It not only debunks this latest article but also at least 1 of the the reporters 2 earlier articles that Sony didn't bother to comment on as they probably didn't affect the share price.

Few people know that actually japanese site Nikkei reported it first then Bloomber later corroborates Nikkei's report about increasing PS5 production :

Nikkei and Bloomberg: Sony doubles PS5 initial production orders [Update]

Sony Interactive Entertainment has raised initial production orders for PlayStation 5 from the roughly six million units it planned in spring to around nine million units, according to a Nikkei rep…

Cool so your "sources" = your ass, like everyone else. Great insight.

 

[devilNprada]

Sony didn't bother to comment on as they probably didn't affect the share price.

Ohhhhh... That makes sense why they commented... Good point

 

[Qwaaarktastic]

So this morning I wake up to the bloomberg article and now Sony officially shuts them down... I'll be bipolar before next gen arrives.

 

[EviLore]

Did you manage to beat the Fume Knight solo, and if yes, was your character naked at the time?

I didn't finish DS2.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Oh look, another negative PS5 rumor squashed.

Shocked.

 

[saintjules]

 

[WhispersintheWind]

Cool so your "sources" = your ass, like everyone else. Great insight.

You say the sweetest things to me.... How has your day been? You do realize I have a good track record. And I don’t just say shit to say it? Unless I’m being a smart ass and making jokes!

 

[TheGreatWhiteShark]

Right, which leaves us in the position that no reports of PS5 production numbers can be believed. We just have to wait for the first sales number reports from around the world to get decent estimates unless it sells gangbusters and Sony put out a press release to brag.

You are right. Either none of these reports can be believed, or all.

One good thing -at least for USA- that is already verified by the company that made the deal, is that sony has secured a substantial number of air freights so that they can ship directly to retail from production, within a day or two.

 

[Elog]

Yes, I already wrote this when I first posted the news, that with this statement basically sony calls "false" BOTH reports of increasing production because of covid-expected increased sales.
They did not care to do it before though..

They had to comment on this today since the share price took a hit yesterday on the Bloomberg article. As a public company you do not have much choice when that happens. Rumours you can technically ignore even if they move your share price but Bloomberg is credible enough for you to have to comment. You read way too much into Sony following stock market regulations.

 

[Neo Blaster]

Sony said enough and shut down the FUD campaign themselves. Sony have realized that every time they are about to drop some news the dark forces that be attempt a smear campaign. Tomorrow is going to be a special day for all Playstation fans and everybody else is just going to have to watch and grit their teeth.

Sony don't react to rumours, but this one coming from a known outlet could definitely cripple their shares if they just let it go for long.

 

[Nickolaidas]

I wonder if this is the remastered version.

Hmmm ...

You may be on to something here ...

 

[JTCx]

bu but if you readz closely!!!!

 

[jimbojim]

Ohhhhh... That makes sense why they commented... Good point

Not necessarily . There were other articles in the past too which caused Sonys drops in shares, like last year for Spiderman, Marvel and Disney thing. But Sony didn't commented on this
Sony otherwise never comments on this stuff, but they felt the need to debunk thaz crap. Wasn't the first time that Bloomberg was wrong about something, though.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Let's see AMD say that "PS5 uses the same RDNA2 that powers the 6000 series", then we can discuss your "point" and who missed it.

Lisa Su spreading FUD and acting like she knows insider info.
