Forums - Gaming Discussion - Sony Has Dropped The Ball On Its PS5 Rollout So Far

I wonder what the focus on speed rather than power might mean for PSVR...

Bite my shiny metal cockpit!

MS bringing their A game was more or less a given this coming generation though and I still think it's too early to call out Sony on how... dry their PS5 reveal has been when it actually has yet to be revealed.

I'm sure in coming months they'll show the hardware itself as well as the games. Not to mention the all important price which, at this point in time just seems like a game of cat and mouse between the two companies.



Once they lost the power war, it was gonna be downhill until they release pricing and games. They can't release pricing until MS does otherwise MS can adjust theirs accordingly so the only thing left are the games. With the virus and etc and everything getting delayed, they are probably having issues locking in dates and promotions so... We gotta wait and see.

One way or the other, MS has done their homework this generation, that's for sure.

I am agree i love seeing SONY in this position, well actually they need more than this to evolve. Like people said "no pain no gain". Sony need to be on the edge of the cliff, the more close to bankrupt the more Playstation will evolve to be the best platform ( although they are in far better situation this times around) . I believe Japanese are like Saiyan people where they go in the brink of destruction will return 100 times better. Just look at Nintendo with Wii U and Sony in PS3 era.

Well back in topic, we still need to wait until the games roll out and many analysis come, also we have to see the launch first (if even people care for console instead Corona). It's too early to tell. But I can see Microsoft did a great marketing and faster with the decision. Great for Microsoft but we have seen a thing from Sony . Remember Sony is still the king. :)

Don't know much about the site. But they did write interesting points about Sony's management so far with the PS5



Pocky Lover Boy! 

They've convinced a not insignificant amount of people that a weaker console has a secret sauce that makes it a market-leader power wise.

I'd say their marketing has been just fine?

I felt like they had to mitigate the difference in flops by emphasizing other features. Like the whole audio thing, I wasn't too excited about that, but who knows once I put headphones on, maybe I'll be impressed. I know that flops aren't everything and that the hard drive issues might have been the bigger bottleneck to solve.
On the whole, I'm not worried for Sony. Many, many people seem to have the PS5 on lockdown and are eagerly waiting for the exclusive sequels coming up and whatnot. It's kind of become a thing where Microsoft has the most powerful console(at least for a time), but it doesn't really have an effect on what Sony is doing.



Think of how Sony is the girl you have been dating for months and the picture of a ps5 is 'getting to third base'. And you find yourself complaining to your friends on the web because she doesn't put out, trying to find clues of why she is in the wrong.

The author trusts that ps5 will be just fine but is yearning for some imagery or something... (notice the first part of the sentence and think about it)
Microsoft gave us specs and a model. So everything people are now complaining about is the lack of a picture of the ps5?

The ps4 is still doing fine, with some major games still up and coming. The interesting monologue we have witnessed was clearly meant for just the GDC and afficionados. Which was planned and executed accordingly (somewhat)
Just hold on to your tights for now.



i agree, ps4 hasn't shown shit for gamers but for devs
