So... We really just went through all of August with basically no next gen info from MS and Sony?

The sad reality of this is that even if they waited till October to give out al the info for what would be a November launch, it wouldn't make a difference to them with regards to the sales.

It's just annoying to s because this isn't what we are accustomed to with regards to consoles. I mean, do we really need to know what the prices are and all that other stuff 4-5 months before launch? Hell Nvidia just announced their new range of GPUs less than 20 days before they launch. And the cheapest one costs $499.

It would be great if we knew, but them telling us 3-6 months early is honestly a courtesy... a misguided one at that.

Make no mistake, this pisses me the hell off, though I can understand where they are coming from too.

Agreed.

I'm actually starting to wish for them to wait until next month to reveal their prices just to get some people even more pissed.

I'm at this point as well. If Sony doesn't have any big announcements for the PlayStation US 25th Anniversary, then I would rather not hear anything until October.

Microsoft has dropped the ball so bad, that I am honestly having a hard time getting excited for Xbox Series. I am almost tempted to just see what AMD's new GPU's look like and buy one of them instead. This is in stark contrast to where I was back in April. I was basically ready to put the PC on the back burner and just get the Series X.

Within the next two weeks we should have prices and dates right?
it cant go on, its time one of them moves and does a announcement.

I have to agree with Intrinsic, niether one has any reason to show anything until October. They are not gaining or loosing anything by giving us full details this month. Just as they didn't gain or loose anything giving us full details a a year or 6 months ahead in previous generations.

I think we are going to learn to start getting used to this, as I believe it is going to be the case going forwards with PS5.1, PS5.2, PS5.3, PS5... and XBSX1, XBSX2, XBSX3, and so on. By the time the PS6/XB5 gen comes along, I could easily see things being revealed publicly in the same time space as most other electronics, only weeks away from release.
