But only because of how fucking stupid they priced their console. If ps3 was 399 it would have been a completely different storySony was the market leader with the PS2, too. Look what happend. All the silence, waiting and secrecy, just to reveal.... this?
Good luck with that strategy Jim Ryan.
But don't listen to me. Listen to Mark Cerny. Two more hours to go.

But the way PSNOW works wouldn't allow for that. It would be smarter just to have PS1 and PS2 emulation on the PS5.I always thought native PS3 BC on PS5 was unlikely in the first place. I had hoped for PS1 - PS2 BC but wouldn't be completely surprised if they didn't have it and instead pushed PSNOW as the solution for that.
SSD. Sony could deliver a high TF machine, but why they decided to go with an ultra SSD? Think today is gonna aswer that.Well if it's less powerful and is limited to only PS4 BC i'd love to know why some dev's are calling this the most exciting hardware in 20 years.
You'll have to go into a bit more detail.Hardware aside (we don't know that yet!) Sony doesn't have the software and service expertise MS does, and they're going /in/on that, while Sony clearly lags behind in some aspects.
Gamepass is of course the most obvious, but then when you take into account things like regional pricing (which Sony doesn't have) network infrastructure, OS functionality, cross platform design (Nintendo!) and store design and you can see cracks starting to appear.
Thing is, MS is a top dog in the software field, and given they newfound focus on hardware, which hasn't been seen since the original Xbox like 20 years ago, they're surely delivering a top notch solid product both in hardware and software.
Sony is spotty in both sides, and, truth is, as much as they tried to catch up, MS has top global talent working on their new platform, in revenge mode.
Sony's major advantage is, of course, its exclusives games and studios, but MS is already working on that front. Results could be surprising.
The race next Gen is gonna be completely different and I hope people are prepared for that. But competition is good, in the end, the consumer wins.
It's been revealed to be 9TF?So Sony was waiting months and months without mentioning the PS5 specs while Microsoft revealed 12TF in 2019. Almost 2 years without having a press conference. And in the end, in the middle of March, they're going to reveal a 9TF PS5?
We have to give credit where credit is due. Microsoft's message was and is spot on. Announcing 12TF in 2019, showing an impressive Hellblade teaser trailer, announcing studio acquisitions (and more to come) Game Pass; Similar to Sony in 2013. Sony Interactive Entertainment is a mess right now. It went downhill around the time Sony Computer Entertainment became Sony Interactive Entertainment.
The silence, bad messaging and long waiting, just to finally announce a 9TF PS5 later today? Two more hours to go. What a day for SIE.
