Beware, PS Nation. This is my last day in quarantine so I got some time on my hands.

I know the pandemic probably forced Sony and Microsoft to change A LOT of their plans regarding next gen announcements. And with the recent reveal of PS5’s superb UI, cooling, PS4 BC and 2021 lineup, people got hyped in the end. But it’s funny to think about how much praise and hype Sony could’ve been building up from the start if they had held a PlayStation Meeting in February (just like they did in 2013) packed with all (or just some) of these announcements.

Specs: 10.2 teraflops, 5.5 GB/S ultra-fast SSD, Wi-Fi 6
Features: Full PS4 BC, improved cooling, 3D audio, raytracing
OS: Control center cards, Game Help, Picture-in-picture
DualSense: Haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, improved battery time
Deep dive: PS5’s ability to limit and in some cases eliminate loading times in both PS5 and PS4 games
Games: Astro's Playroom, Deathloop, Demon's Souls Remake, Destruction AllStars, Final Fantasy XVI, Ghostwire: Tokyo, God of War: Ragnarok, Gran Turismo 7, Hogwarts Legacy, Horizon Forbidden West, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, The Pathless, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Resident Evil Village, Returnal, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, etc.
Free PS4 to PS5 upgrades: (the 34 games listed above)

I think they were keeping hype on control level until they can really put major preorder stock. They can't even have available preorder consoles so more hype would just burn fast.
