yeah. They seem to be behind and have no idea how to respond.

Its mind boggling how we are approaching 3 months since ms revealed their console while standing in front of them boasting about setting the bar and Sony is still MIA.

They haven't responded to the github leaks. They have cancelled e3 since. They have revealed a logo of ask things. They just stayed quiet after the Bloomberg article. And have cancelled two major events though this time they had an excuse. Their pr and marketing departments are awful.
This is a severe overstatement. They have no obligation to respond. They're selling their product. That product won't go up for preroder until June. It will sell out almost immediately. They still have months and months to detail it before release. The only reason anyone is making a fuss is because Sony had a February event last time. MS had one shortly before E3 last time and showed a form factor. They've both been vague on actual details because they wanna wait till it's too late for the other guy to change (remember MS upclocking last time)

I didn't look or post since 30 Jan .. 200 pages later

Nothing happened right?

not much. We got to see TimDog try really hard to be nice and sensible for a hot minute. But yeah, still nothing solid. Cboat’s general ford‘s skinner cage still not decoded. imo microsoft is our era’s General Electric (giant all consuming corporate katamari), they are building a Ford to compete with sony’s Ferrari skinner box. Also, the fact cboat refers to consoles as skinner boxes tells me he isnt into consoles anymore.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

as far as coronavirus goes, Inovio Pharmaceuticals came up with a vaccine in 3 hours once Chinese authorities supplied them with the sequnce in early Jan. It will,be released to the public once fast-tracked testing is complete in a few months. World is not ending yet, and consoles will be in your hands before you know it.

OsirisBlack OsirisBlack has long been vetted,, HeisenbergFX4 HeisenbergFX4 as well.

Sorry if it doesn’t fit your narrative. Now move from the meta if you have noting else to offer.

Well I had no idea these guys were vetted then I guess I'm in the wrong here. I admit I haven't kept up with this thread as much. Perhaps a few quotes in the OP from these guys and confirmation they have been vetted would have helped in the confusion.

MS did its final upclock in august. are you saying they should wait until august?

its weird that you say that they dont HAVE to respond to what the competitor is doing and then turn around and say that they are literally waiting to see what the competitor does.

the fact of the matter is that their marketing strategy has got even their most loyal fans baffled by their indecision. yes, they dont have to follow the Feb reveal but in marketing and PR, you have to soften the blow of each piece of bad news with a good one. they have had a string of bad announcements back to back to back with no real plan put forward.

And its not like we dont have another company who isnt doing those things. MS held a mini reveal and showed a next gen game and a console form factor, and then had a somewhat vague but reassuring spec reveal. then they said we are going to be at E3. E3 is months away but the fans know they are going to be there. there is no indecision, no guess work, they have given a timeline and gave us a taste to keep everyone hungry for more but not desperate.

one could argue that they didnt even have to do that because they dont have to respond to any negative leaks like the github leaks and other poorly received announcements like not being at E3. and yet they went ahead and did their mini reveal anyway.

its marketing 101

What is this guy Tallking about (Daniel Ahmad)? All the Companies have all the people back at work. The media covers a lot! I have some friends there, all of them are working in normal conditions, and are some people from Wuhan that work from home.

It’s already doable on Oculus and Steam. The only problem with this though is that while it sounds fun to game on a big virtual screen, the image quality you get out of it is far lower than what you’d get on a 4K HDR display. IMO it isn’t worth it at all.
I know. But with a higher resolution screen it could look good.

posts like this clearly goes to show the problem is with the mindset of people and not the company itself. So they take their time to reveal things equals to bad pr etc.

You by any chance working as an outsourcing artist, that way you've been able to fly over to Sony WWS around the world getting feedback and art requirements for PS5. That way you know of the dev kit specs etc?

Well, they've already told us on pricing they're waiting to see what MS does. For the other factors, features are probably up in the air due to the Covid and/or market shortage issues. So they can't FIRMLY announce for example if it will have 16GB RAM or 18GB RAM. Sounds like they are also not yet quite on final dev kits or just have issued those. That would be the point they're locked as far as features and power (pretty much except for clock adjustments). I'm sure they planned on a larger reveal towards the end of Feb or here in March at one of these shows but those plans have all now been cancelled due to the Corona virus. So yes, there will be a delay in announcement most likely. I'm sure they're scrambling to figure out what to reveal digitally and exactly how to do that. Maybe a Wired article is already planned but the event it was supposed to come after is canceled? So they have things to figure out. I'm sure this has thrown MS into a bit of a tailspin as well. Bottom line, they'll get it all figured out and announce it as soon as they believe it is to their advantage to do so.

Meanwhile we can all dream...and speculate. Regardless of when this is revealed, I'm all up on that HYPE TRAIN. Right now! Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

If you don't mind me asking, where did sony say they're waiting on MS to reveal prices? Bloomberg?
Unless you're suggesting they're going to redesign the PCB, I think ram amount is something they could tell us. If they're going with 16Gb, you have to assume they're using 8 2Gb chips. There are no 4Gb chips AFAIK, so it's not like they could mix and match densities. Even then, mixing those screws/makes things interesting when it comes to bandwidth and memory controller.
 
Why not push this logic to its finality? i.e. simply stop shipping Playstations (including the ps4) & stop selling them in stores as well. Bingo, no risk of infecting the buyer.

"We're skipping gaming conferences because of the coronavirus... but please all go out to the closest shopping centres & buy our products or order them online & get delivery via airmail through international airports. It's totally safe 100%".

Okay.

I think the main thing with the conferences is that some of the people that are attending these things have a lot of international visitors and with a ton of people being in close proximity to each other could easily spread something like that fast...it is better just to be safe than sorry.

Someone in this thread said that COVID-19 isn't bad and that people were back to work. Anyone working in that area is doing so against the wishes and orders of the government and will probably face harsh consequences. Check the world news, there is no cure and nothing they have done has slowed it down. They're afraid that the treatments they are trying have made it stronger as there are more deaths of people that weren't sickly to begin with. Also Chinese and Japanese business practices are very different than American and European practices. Its a bad look to have people in the factories that make your product sick and dying and you go shouting to the rooftops about how great your new system is.

Edited to add:
I do not THINK this will push the console launch out of the holiday timeframe but I do expect shortages.
