Sony Has Dropped The Ball On Its PS5 Rollout So Far

Fun fact: The highest amount of units an Xbox ever sold is lower than the lowest amount a Playstation console ever sold. We might want to think about that a bit before we decide whose marketing we worry about.

We have to worry as it is unnaceptable to sell less than 120M Playstations in a gen, Sony are doomed when that happens.

We had a over 500 replies thread discussing it and you were part of it but still don't understand that the GDC video wasn't meant to be a console reveal but a deep dive on the architeture of PS5?

And reacting to what? The show was recorded weeks in advance and was know to several journalists several days before MS had talked about their specs.

We get it, you just wanted to get a one up. 

I think it is funny that people think Sony could react to MS revealing the info on a single day to make the video, divulgue date and all, but took 2 days to post clarifying the BC of PS4 on PS5 (no mention of other aspects of BC) nor make a streamlined video of the same information more geared towards gamer based on the allegedly bad reception of their GDC video.

And when GDC was cancelled Sony made a mistake still releasing that video anyways. Thats the point. They should of just redone it for ya know more people who are casuals and gamers not developers. So yes i do feel like they reacted as they could of redone it but decided to put out what they had anyways.

Its not about getting one up on anything so i honestly dont know where your getting that from.

This video has left a bad impression in a number of peoples heads and has put a lot of Sony fans in total defense mode trying to explain the SSD of the PS5 since Cerny didn't do a very good job of it.

You can say that is a mistake, I don't think so, but that is irrelevant.

How can you say they reacted by not doing anything? (also ignore that the date was already know by journalists days before MS showing anything, and also that whatever was said in the video was long before the information of Xbox was public).

So I would like you to explain how it is a reaction to do nothing and just do what you were already planning to. If you were criticizing the lack of reaction (like when you said they should have changed the content) ok, but the other part becomes contradictory.

The impression I have this was a try to get a one up was your responses in other threads about PS5.
