The same chance as talking about their sold through numbers of PS4 or PS+ subscriber numbers.
I hope nearly to 0.
It's 40 minutes, so they'll probably focus on WWS launch window titles. My guess: Miles Morales, Demon's Souls, Sackboy, Destruction AllStars, Returnal, GT 7 and Forbidden West.
Really looking forward to getting an in depth look at the technology Sony has been using to slow the passage of time since Saturday.
Okay! Was just curious. :)
I would love to see Until Dawn become a horror anthology series, each one unconnected to its predecessors apart from maybe one common actor playing a part - ideally Peter Stormare as a side character in all the games.
I definitely agree that they should do different genres each time too, so one time it's set in the 1950s during an alien invasion, and then another time it's about a bunch of people trapped inside a town hall when there's a zombie outbreak, and I love your suggestion of being trapped on an Event Horizon-style space ship in deep space. I wrote out a few loose scenarios like this a few years ago, but I don't recall if it was here on on Gaf. Will try to find them.
There could be a blog post after the event about a presented game that says that the studio also joined the PS family.
I think such things are good for blog posts and tweets, but the new console features and games runing on it, aswell as the price, you do during a showcase.
I think we'll see some 2022 games announced. If FFXVI is making it, then I expect Sony to announce a sequel to one of their crowl jewel PS4 IPs, like they did announce UC4 at the PS4 launch to build excitement.
This scenario where a child asks for ANY next gen console and grandma goes and buys the cheapest one seems like a situation that would mainly happen in the imagination of forum posters.
That's True. Or if someone is talking (like how they did for Returnal and Demon's Souls) they could do a quick say they are bought and we will have to read the blog for more information. Not making a "we bought this studio video clip".
That is also true, there could be some "We joined PS Studios and here is our new game".
So, there is a chance for that during the showcase, more then 0.
What about the scenario where a grandma gets confused and decides to buy an entirely different console?
Peopel that talk like consumers are confused never worked at retail.
To be fair, with a grandma that can also happen with the PS5 disc and digital option.
I'm pretty sure most stores will take the console back, if you take the other one and pay extra.
Not necessarily, when the child just wants to play FIFA, Fortnite and other games on a next gen console. I think your scenario that nobody thinks like this is as false as the scenario nobody would ask for a specific console.

It happens quite often at some threeshold (around 50 I'd say) in all honestly but nearly every time the kid is here and do the talking.
We'll see what happens ^^
Not expecting Sony buying anything (yet) but if it happens then I hope they don't use several minutes of the 40 min event to talk about a studio acquisition.
Those precious minutes could be used for more Demon's Souls gameplay, hehe.
Currently writing an article regarding my expectations and predictions for the PS5 event and I'm quickly realizing my that if my predictions come true, we're looking at one of the greats, but I'm also realizing that my expectations might be a little high xD
Mention in your article that a 1st party JRPG is needed. Or we riot ;P
Karl Jones - Lead Designer @ Lucid Games.
So this means we'll see that fornite game with cars?
I don't know about that. The art, traversal and vertical overworld was simply awesome. The rest was boring or terrible, especailly mission design.
I find the balloon hunt being the only fun part of the game.
Does anyone who worked in sellings electronics saw a grandma buy a console?
Have you ever ask your grandma to buy a console? Did she missed?
I'm assuming Sony has something planned with Epic for Fortnite right? It's one of the major games people are playing and they'll want those people to transition to PS5 through this game.
My scenario is simply that kid's know what they want based on their own taste or what their friends have. This seems far more likely to me than "buy me any next gen console no matter what."
I got $10 from my grandma on birthdays and holidays. $300+ game consoles were not even remotely in the cards.
I'm currently working on the "Biggest dreams" section, where all our dreams like a JRPG or All Stars 2 go to die <3
We have seen a price announcement and system announcement per leak, with pre-order option in 2 weeks, by one company.
Now we could see a showcase with gameplay, console features and price announcement, maybe pre-order is even available in this week.
There was a lot of talk how bad the sony marketing is, but if that comes true it is a big marketing win.
Not even talking about a possible cheaper flagship model, a cheaper alternative that has the same power as the flagship for full digital customers, or possible higher availability...

Correct, prety much all the time the consumer doesnt pick a random item and buys it by mistake. They know what they want, they migh not know anything about the product by they know what brand they want and this is when the employee comes in to play.
Most of the time when the consumer is trying to by a product for some else, in this case a kid, they either know the product or the kid is there to choose
This is my experience as i work at retail for close to 7 years.
What kids want and get are two different things. Many people bought PS4, because it was more powerful and cheaper. Price matters. I think PS5 will sell more, but a consumer buying the cheapest console for their child isn't something out of a forum fairytale book. It's reality.
Please mention the need for the comeback of COLONY WARS, your readers deserve the truth, seems nobody else has the courage to do so...
The big marketing win is Miles Morales at launch
People underestimates this game, it will sell a lot of PS5 and general audience will embrace this new Spider-Man game
Never ever underestimate a child's capacity to ask for a very specific piece of hardware. I've yet to see someone who says "just get me something that plays Fortnite or FIFA".
Not sure which this is but it's funny as Fortnite now has cars lol.
Brand plays a huge roll on the selling of a product, much more then power.
I am not underestimating a child's capacity. They can be very specific, but equally they don't always get what they want. I think the truth lies in the middle. Some consumers want a specific console, while others want to play their third party games.
Never suggested otherwise.
I'm sorry but I hate these generalizations from people who sound like they don't have kids... you make it sound like kids are rational adults lol. They know what they want, man be it Xbox or PS5.
I wish I liked GR2 more than I do. But I felt so bummed out by that game that I don't really care if they make another. They had so long to develop it and it was probably my most disappointing game of the generation.
I could maybe see the new game from the San Diego new studio get announced, with an emphasis on it being a new studio. But I don't really expect any acquisition announcements. As Snakeeee says below, I generally find it a bit crass.
Expectations for the hardware, firmware or software? (Or all three?!)
Yeah, I expect their relationship with Epic will strengthen over the start of next gen.
And if they can't do Colony Wars we would also accept G-Police as a consolation prize, right?
Might just fit it in, could I give you a shoutout? :P
Haha, got any dreams? Want to join my infinite dreams of All Stars 2, Ape Escape, Gravity Rush 3 and an exclusive JRPG? (Although I would sacrifice every announcement for All Stars 2 lol)
Basically. Ps4 and xbox one were the same price during every BF.
