Why do you keep bringing up May as a certain point in next gen build up which should telegraph if any blunders are going to happen or not. First of all, 7 years ago Xbox One was in the similar state as PS5 currently is, complete mystery, up until May 21, 2013. If you like to use a certain as such point, we still haven't passed May 21, 2020. But, it actually doesn't matter May, June or July, what matters is that on May 21, 2013 Microsoft showed Xbox One and shared their vision for 8th gen console for the first time. That's what actually matters. Sony still hasn't done this for PS5, so saying that screwup is impossible just because it's May already and Sony still hasn't shit it's bed is completely incorrect. They still can, but it can happen in June or July. |
Xbox one was absolutely not in the same position seven years ago, as PS5 is in now. I think you are forgetting the massive DRM rumors swirling around XB1 prior to official reveal, as well as Adam Orth's horrible dismissal of public outcry. https://www.polygon.com/2013/4/5/4186676/always-on-consoles-unease-xbox-adam-orth-microsoft
Sure MS hadn't officially shit the bed until May 21st, but we could all smell it from quite a ways off. Microsoft's ridiculous always-on DRM plans for XB1 was just a prelude to how much XB1 would suck in the coming months. So far I've yet to see such a prelude to PS5 shitting the bed.
