PS5's marketing feels worse than PS4, while Series X's marketing is better than Xbox One's.

Why steal the thunder of FF VIR, TLOU2 and GoT so close to they releasing and far of PS5 launch?

Didn't stop The Last of Us from succeeding on PS3, a few months after PS4 was announced.

That much is true, even GT6 was able to sell over 5M without port on PS4

At launch they didn't have the better 1st party games nor the brand power if we are carrying over from the 360 and PS3 era. 

PS5 vs Series X is a different story where PS has the brand power of the Xbox brand due to the success of the PS4 vs XB1. However launch games could possibly go Series X's way with launch titles like Halo Infinite being heavily focused around the next gen consoles and marketing.

However will wait and see what Sony announces for PS5's launch games. 

This could be true for the launch (much less so for the rest of the gen i think, however). I’ve been saying for a long time that I feel Sony is making a serious mistake by not having TLoUp2 as a PS5 launch game. I honestly don’t know what they’re thinking. Clearly they’re wanting people to double dip so they make more money, but I think this is a huge mistake, when XSX has Halo Infinite. And I would bet a lot of money that HI will win back a lot of people and be a huge game.

MS is doing just about everything right lately. I’m a PS guy, but Sony should have a healthy fear of MS. They’re coming for Sony, and they’re gonna take a much bigger piece of the pie this gen than they did last.

On the topic of Sony’s presentation yesterday, I had been really excited for it. Once it started, I almost thought it was a joke. From the format to the presentation to the fake audience—everything other than the presence of Mark Cerny—it was painfully bad. Idk WTF Sony was thinking with that, but I hope they start stepping it up. 

TLOU2, GoT and the other major 1st party will be playable on PS5 they are BC. At most we don't know how much improved they will be and if they will offer the improvements for free.

On that point I can agree, but that isn't because they announced or not, because the GDC talk have been announced before.

Yeah, but… they should have done something different now.

Had they made this presentation available after a reveal like MS did recently and people wouldn't complain.
It was a strange mistep by Sony.

That sure they could have done better, still january they said they would reveal PS5 in several events and we still have several months before release.
