But I could be hilariously wrong. Deep down inside I want them to reveal the PS5 ASAP but it is funny to see people desperate for news like it is not coming. Lol.

And a power edge would worry Sony why exactly? Xbox One X has a power edge. X360 didn't have a power edge, but most multiplatform games ran or looked better on that console. The most powerful console never "won" a generation just because it was the most powerful. Like 95% of consumers probably don't give a shit about power. I have friends with beautiful 4K TV's that play on a PS4 Slim and a Switch.
An earlier initial reveal will buy them time though. Back in 2013, they were able to keep the price hidden till E3 exactly because no-one was expecting them to reveal price in February but no-one complained either because they had more than enough info. This time, if they only do one meeting/SOP in May they'll have to reveal everything including form factor, specs and price.
problem with the 2 reveal approach this time is they have no E3, doing 2 big events (not counting SoP, showing up to TGS, PGW whatever) means they wont be able to keep as good of a retention as they had if it was E3.
Was Hoping the same when i noticed but sadly it doesnt seen to be the case
They said they won't be at E3, that doesn't mean they can't be E3 adjacent like Electronic Arts are. They have their own thing entirely outside of being associated with the ESA. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case, or they use Gamescom as a worldwide blowout.
Just like how Sony announced their price after Microsoft in 2013 right?
then why not clarify that? it feels weird that they will just share this bad news without telling their investors that they have plans around the time that will still give them publicity.
most likely answer is they want the attention to themselves, not the split the news cycle with everyone else, meaning, hold their big event(s) at a different time than early - mid june.
March 3rd, 3 3 2020Alright y'all, here are the rules
I've discussed this with B-Dubs and here's what we're constituting as a reveal event:
- Make a bet on the exact release date of the PS5 reveal
- Interviews with Wired (or another publication) and State of Play events do count BUT:
- Either full spec reveal (CPU / GPU / RAM / etc) or showing the actual console (think Series X reveal) must happen. Not just a shadow or some shit. I mean showing the whole damn thing.
- Leaks do NOT count
- Votes for "none" don't count. Only concrete dates.
- You win? The staff will give you an awesome tag
- You lose? You get an embarrassing avatar of my choosing until the PS5 is RELEASED
Who dares risk their avatars? Win and get a tag. Lose and, well, I get to pick your avatar
This ain't rocket science. Just use this as a guide:
PS5 - a patent dive into what might be the tech behind Sony's SSD customisations (technical!)
This will be one for people interested in some potentially more technical speculation. I posted in the next-gen speculation thread, but was encouraged to spin it off into its own thread. I did some patent diving to see if I could dig up any likely candidates for what Sony's SSD solution might...

Sometimes you just need to focus on things in real life and a ban can help you out.
I almost think we might get the reverse of this. And I'm only saying that on the condition that the PS5 is going to be noticeably weaker than XSX which I'm not convinced by.
I think Sony will focus on games and they will look amazing and get everyone hyped. They will show the box and go light on most specs, and go in depth on the storage speed and how it will massively improve everything. Then release any kind of detailed breakdown of specs am separately afterwards.
Transistor
March 10th.
I wasn't going to do this, but that free PS5 preorder thing swung me over. Who doesn't like free stuff? It would be interesting to see what happens if more than one person wins though.

I really doubt that Sony can bring the price down to £349/$399 even if they have an 8TF GPU. Assuming an 1TB SDD that is.
That's what my vibes say they are worried about this time around. :D
Ooh, is March 24th gone? Probably, but I'm going with that date anyway! Good way to spice up the reveal wait, this is only going to make it worse for some people!
Gonna go with march 14th
Let's do it !
edit : changed to march 14th cause 12th was taken
Edit 2 : do i have to tag Transistor ?

Nooo Mecha :( Hope everything is ok IRL
When did this happen?
Anyone have an idea if he will be back before the new OT?
Every region of China has confirmed cases. Of course some less than others.
Foxconn has factories outside of China, but if they're capable of handling next-gen demand, who knows. I assume most of the parts require little human interaction to produce and that it is the final assembly and testing that requires the hordes and therefore things might not veer too far off track if this one follows similar coronaviruses before it like SARS etc. Case growth is slowing which is a good sign, at the peak they jumped 3.18x between 24-27th Jan but has tailed-down to 1.7x in the last 3 days, hopefully it stays that way.
Crikey if the XSX was only £399 I'd absolutely buy one, perhaps even initially over a PS5. I don't see it being that price. I'm expecting £399 or £449 for PS4 and XSX at least £50 to 100 more.
