Polygon: Sony’s PS5 Radio Silence Has Done Wonders For The Next Gen Xbox
- Thread starter Sillegamer
- Start date
I don't think so and, if there's potential delays, it may actually have worked in Sony's favour to hold off on announcements.
Too many people on this site will not realize the masterful baiting job the writer has done here and will click through anyway
Nah.
I do think Xbox has had a good trajectory so far, but I don't think anyone is going to be ignoring PS5 just because they start showing their hand later.
They'll both be ramping up their strategy to generate buzz between now and launch. There's still everything very much to play for, they're both just warming up.

I think it helps people hear the message. I'm not sure the message would have been heard if they both launched at the same time. It will have no effect on sales or anything substantive though
How can you make this argument at this point? It doesn't matter how it's doing right now, it matters where it's at come November after the PS5 has been announced and both are on sale. Then and only then can you say that the radio silence either helped or hurt the Xbox/PS5.
Pretty much. Sony's silence is giving Microsoft the good PR that comes with any new next-gen features. When casual audiences talk about coming attractions in the gaming space right now - Microsoft's kinda got the only product people can point to.
How impactful is that early advantage? Who knows. But I'm certain Microsoft feels pretty good about their position right now.

I'm loving Microsoft's transparency but it really doesn't matter. The console will come when it comes.
I don't know about you but the fact that Sony is currently focusing solely on PS4, with exclusives releasing all the way until June, may actually be the better marketing for the PS5.
It's effective.
I can't tell if this is a clever joke post or if you made that quote to actually mean your point
Yes, but how long is hype over a logo going to last while mS keeps talking more and more about Series X
Sony just needs to show when ready doesn't really matter this upcoming gen to be honest. MS putting everything on PC has given me zero reason to ever get an xbox. At this point its easier than ever to pretty much play everything that is available on all consoles.
I mean, yea. The fact MS is out there saying how good Xbox SeX is has me thinking I might pick up one next gen, despite skipping Xbox this gen.
I mean, yeah. As said in the article, they haven't had to fight for attention unlike last time, and pretty much everything (if not everything) has been positive.
It's just that Sony's silence won't necessarily be a net negative for Sony once they start talking.

true but Polygon is aimed at that very bubble and they gotta write something. The only people Sony's silence is bad for us enthusiasts and games media.
