You sure about that? I never had any issues with it. PS3? For sure. The PS3's store was trash, but the PS4's was speedy and zippy for me. Might have taken a couple seconds to boot, but after that, no problems. 

The PS4 store is currently too slow and unpredictable- As well as joining parties and opening friends profiles. It can take forever. There are obvious bottlenecks.

I must have gotten so lucky, then, because my storefront is nearly instantaneous like 95% of the time. Opens up within seconds and very rarely lags once it loads up. I suppose I can really only go off my own experiences, but those experiences have always been neutral to positive, never negative.

Sony's approach is getting really freaking annoying drip-feeding of content. Obviously, they have a Nice UI and are doing something good. The way they keep hiding and barely showing anything is worrisome. Notice, how they avoid showing any load time in today's demo.

Nice take away from the demo: they seem to have a quick resume system, like the picture in picture, and being able to see what your friend is doing, the UI was very clean and seem snappy. Not really a fan of the card system, seem like it will be used to push DLC and other paid content.

Looks like both Xbox and Sony are going to give their userbase a much better player experience compared to last gen.

It keeps excitement and hype high for the fanbase. Builds momentum and is arguably a better marketing strategy overall.

I wouldn't be worried. We've been hearing reports of Sony: Caught off guard by MS announcements, overheating issues, delays to 2021 and all other sorts of nonsense since February.

Turns out they had better showcases, they're more prepared with software and have put an over the top cooling system in place.

They actually did show Destruction Allstars booting up from cold in the video. Not sure what you mean there?

I wanted to ask him the same things since very little of what he said made sense, but I figured engaging him would just make matters worse. 

I also feel that 'drip feeding' us has been pretty effective at keeping the PS5 in the cultural spotlight...and yet despite actively googling things I don't know much about the Xbox Series X. I know some, but I'd definitely argue there's more information out there on the PS5. Sony has had more positive feedback, shown more games, had more good news, and more momentum basically since day one. As soon as the 'Backwards compatibility' thing came out, it's been one bit of good news after the next.
