So you're actually saying that if we get 6 more months of silence, you wouldn't start wondering "what's going on with Sony?" The gaming media has already started writing negative articles about this lack of communication. I imagine those are only gonna ramp up the longer this goes on.
I wouldn't start wondering no. Companies always do weird stuff to be in the spotlights, so who knows what they are doing. The US gaming media is always a bit on edge with Sony when there is a new gen onsight (?). Last gen they did the same before the PS4 reveal also Sony hasn't been quiet....
They revealed the "out of wack" logo, released Dreams, talked about dreams coming to PS5 in some form, announced release date for Ghost of Tsushima, announced PC port for Horizon: Zero Dawn and they still are going to release and talk about The Last of Us and Ghost of Tsushima closer to launch.
We are about 8 months before release...... Perhaps go play some games to pass the time? Lots of games still coming out. If you got nothing to play than i suggest Yakuza 1,2,3,4,5,6 and ofcourse 0.
But how do we know that they are doing their own thing?
They went early with ps4. Many insiders were telling they were going to be early again with ps5 and they even started talking early on the Wired articles. And then radio silence...
I'm not saying that they for sure are reacting to Ms info, but they are following a strange marketing schedule.
We don't.... but we also don't know the opposite. So while some choose to go negative, i am going positive. Unless there is some information that i missed.
So what that they went early with PS4 reveal? Sony hasn't been doing things like they did last time. They went a lot earlier with the wired articles..... Skipped conferences and stuff and talked about the next Playstation name like it was something we didn't expect and they showed a logo that looks the same as the PS4 one. So i don't think we should take anything from how Sony previously done things and comparing it to how they are doing it now. And perhaps i have a black hole in my memory but did we have a situation like we have now? People like to skip over certain realities just because they want it to fit a certain narrative. Plans in this kind of situation definitely change and with Sony cancelling things far before other companies, it's not strange that they cancelled their reveal. But all of that doesn't mean that they are just going to release information just because MS said something. What actually happens is that they have a meeting and go with a different marketing plan and perhaps they are going with Pro reveal timeline. Who knows.. But that doesn't mean that they aren't doing their own thing.
Sony has the luxury to wait because of the high profile games they still have to release. People aren't thinking of PS5 at the way some of you do. Is it nice to have some information? Sure, but most people just want to play games and the PS4 still has lots of things to come. Eventually they will talk but they are absolutely not in any haste or necessity to start their PS5 marketing/media blowout. Several ways to Rome and acting just because some, and they previously also did, is the only way is just plain silly.
edit: Why is omelette not a option in the poll?
