Poll: Are You Happy With PlayStation’s Dead Silence?
- Thread starter Sillegamer
- Start date
Conflating "successful ramp up" with "we had it in February last time, so we must have it in February this time too!" is a pretty simplistic take on the matter.
Also, like, these "fans" you speak of? Dollars to doughnuts, us having to wait will be forgotten exactly 1 seconds after the playstation meeting kicks off, whether that's February or May, or even later.
while i completely agree with you on the second point. I was just suggesting that Sony's current approach seems extremely interesting. I'm just intrigues to finally see what their plans are and the potential reasoning to why they haven't followed what was successful previously.
Wasn't their an interview with Shu where he mentioned that Sony as a company couldn't put a finger on why the PS4 was so successful? Maybe that is clouding how they bring this one to market?
Or September, just 2 months before the release. Like PS4 Pro.
I'm not bothered by it, but I do want to plan my autumn purchases so I would want both companies to give more details on what's coming.
Previous generation I only had a X360. Microsoft lost me with their initial Xbox One reveal and I quickly jumped ship over to PS4 and that was all I was playing on up until this holiday, when I finally bought an Xbox One X. Now with Game Pass, better performance, and higher resolutions I'm really torn on what to buy first next generation. If you asked me a year ago I would say PS5 day one, but now I honestly don't know. I'll probably end up getting both eventually, since Sony still have some exclusives I want to play, but third party titles (which there are more of) I'm probably leaning towards Xbox Series X.

It sucks, but i'd imagine there are marketing folks working for the playstation division who are far more knowledgable on market trends, and when the right time to announce something is, than I am. Im sure they have a very calculated plan and we will see it come to fruition within the next five months.
remember the xbox 360, was revealed in may
Of 2005, only six months before it came out in that November.

People are bitching and moaning about a lack of communication. They are also threatening they wont buy the next playstation.
These are also the same people that will probs be day 1 and be more than happen when information is revealed and forget to be disgruntled.
Just be patient, it REALLY isnt hard.

It was 5 months.
Try 5 months. October to March.
lol after the reaction they got from web, they will announce it one day before launch lol
It was kinda in between. I just checked, the trailer was released on October 20th, 2016; the console was released on March 3rd the following year. So 4 months and 14 days?
I should've expected this from a forum that had multiple hype threads about another company's not-yet-announced announcement videos full of "RESET THE CLOCK" comments.
People thirsting for info so hard is so very sad. Gotta get a grip of yourselves and just go play some video games or rub one out. You need to get yourself out of the marketing loop because they're playing you for fools.
Its not like the console is gonna save your life, or you have any kind of stake in it. Is it gonna make you rich? Is it gonna find you a life partner? Its just a toy.

I will be there day 1, but I would lie if I said I'm fine with what is Sony doing right now.
Last year they changed basically whole PlayStation leadership, half of industry is baffled by their moves and they stay radio silent while MS is stealing all the spotlight.
Sure some may say their PS5 logo reveal show how much are people preferring PS over MS, but imo that's very misleading... Add to that no E3 showings and you just know Sony has some internal troubles. I just hope it isn't PS5 hardware kinds of trouble. I don't want to see YLOD's situation again.

I'm warning Playstation now, they are really throwing away marketing opportunities by choosing not to announce and reveal their console before release. Arrogant Sony again, thinking they can just tell us day one when its in stores and we'll lap it up. I may only buy one in that case.
Yes this and fix the triggers. Cant tell you how many times I set me controller down while watching some to have the video start automatically rewinding or fast forwarding.
Voted no but honestly kinda neutral at this point.
I really liked Playstations extremely simple approach to the PS4 gen. Give the consumers what they want, game announcements over boring business stuff we don't understand and making obscure promises. Them going silent now is fine but if the ramp of for 5 continues to be as hands off and impersonal I'd be disappointed.
I'm also fine with their teeny tiny direct like things they do, but I feel like they desperately need a face(s) on there for us to attach to. But I get that these are supposed to be as cost effective as possible.
