Dont know if this topic should be necro bumped.. But feels good to be on this side of the fence of how sony is messing it up, sure they can pull it back, nothing along the lines of MS DRM.. but that was my point MS has been consistently generating positive press for series X, but yet Some people dismissed sony staying silent as a confidence thing that they didnt need to as they are the market leader, yet they ignored the fact they are the market leader for current gen not next gen.

This whole PS5 GDC talk shows how lost sony are, why in the world you would do tech deep dive meant devs and invite without revealing the key console features to general audience?
Secondly I said in my post if PS5 is inferior to series x they should just come out say it and deal with the negative press early on, but here we are Sony found brilliant way to shoot themselves in the foot by doing a tech deep dive just a day after Xbox had their blow out. I mean why would you even announce your tech specs a day after your competition reveal their far superior console specs.

And just to clarify.. I freaking love PS5. but right now sony seems like acting cocky or clueless.. lets see how optimistic you guys can right now

I don't feel Sony messed anything up here other than releasing a weaker console. Even then depending on the price of the Xbox series X they might not have even done that. It does bother me that Sony has the weaker console though I wont lie. At the end of the day though I just don't enjoy the games Xbox has I can't think of any must play games that Xbox has. I don't really enjoy Halo and while I bought my 360 for Gears of War and Mass Effect I'm tired of Gears of war and ME is multiplat. 

MS bought a lot of studios so maybe so more good stuff will come out but MS's history has always just been horrible when it comes to running other studios. So will see how that goes. The first game they announced already doesn't sound great. Hellblade 2, while the first one had a lot of great things about the gameplay was some of the worst I've played in a long time.

My opinion is completely opposite.. being a developer I m excited what Sony has to offer, although I wont developing for it.. but the core philosophy is in line with how mobile phone uses it SoC, which i develop for.. direct access to storage along with the RAM. Streaming assets will be far better on PS5 than xbox SX.

But my disappointment still remains on the marketing side of the thing, Just look at the BC messaging it took sony 2 days to come out and say PS5 support full PS4 library..
