They don't need to be reactionary to microsoft at all, Microsoft is still playing catch up and still are behind Sony.It's a landslide imho, yeah sure we are almost a full 12 months from release but by now i would have expected even a reactionary release of info to counter all this nice stuff Microsoft had... instead the last thing we got was a bad piece of news with them saying that they won't be at E3.
ok? but that's not how it is. Sony will show off the ps5 similar to what they did with the ps4. Some people are overreacting for little to no reason and Sony still has the mindshare.*Their
I'm not American and prefer in general Sony's offering much more than the (imho) anemic Microsoft offering.
The market is very feeble, look at the last generation and how initially Microsoft had the biggest mindshare which deteriorated the latest years and immediately lost the immediate beginning of this generation, i'm not a catastrophist and am not saying that Sony has lost/will lose all the mindshare but what i'm seeing is that for more than one year now people in general seems very happy about Microsoft and very neutral about Sony and the latter's actions aren't doing them any favors.
Then sure of course maybe by the time Febraury ends, like some rumors say, you'll see Sony firing from all cylinders and flip the whole momentum but as the 17th of January 2020 that's how i see it.
This is fantastic.
Dear Sony, I wrote you but you still ain't talking.
DEAR MISTER I'M TOO GOOD TO COMMUNICATE WITH MY FANS!!!
This. They are clearly doing well and know infinitely more about communication strategies than us.What do you want them to do? Email you personally about the PS5 details instead of having a "random article" on a huge tech website lmao

My kaz meme folder is ready to go, any day now.When they finally announce it I'm looking for a thread with the following..
A penello meltdown
'working man's graphics'
Kaz memes..
won't be a thread without them..
They'll make an event of it when they feel it's time, which clearly isn't for them yet.I do find it weird that all we have is a predictable logo. Haven't really had a Sony event to show any must see excitement. Like... with their articles or interviews on a random site or two, how would I have even know that is where Sony is dropping new info? Make an event of it. Be excited.
Honestly that user is one of the biggest concern trolls on this forum. Kinda get used to itLol troll confirmed. Good news that dont interest you = neutral/bad news. Ok then
This was not a thing.Did you not see the entire press conference dedicated to the PS5 logo reveal?
You're legit trying to compare rumors while ignoring actual things, like a PS5 game being revealed almost immediately after the Series X. Also PSVR and PS4 backwards compatablity. And next gen audio. And devkit leaks.Sony's messaging has indeed been lacking compared to Microsoft's this time around.
Whether is technical information about the hardware or just hypebuzz or even a supposed roadmap it seems that in each of these categories Microsoft has the upper edge.
Let's sum it up... Microsoft in this period had:
Name and logo
Rumored roadmap/skus
New technical features (ssd and hw ray tracing)
Box design
Rumored performance values with supposed advantages to competition
Die shot of the chip
Random footage of titles supposedly in development
Sony in this period had:
Name and logo
New technical features (ssd and hw ray tracing)
Rumored performance values that are supposedly worse than the competition
They have popped in a few times to toot their own horn some more while ignoring the facts others have provided.What is up with OP and lack of communication?
Haven't seen him here since he made this thread.
I correct people spelling because i care.People are not neutral about Sony, haven't you seem the wreck the logo caused in here and everywhere else? And, uh, Sony will only lose mindshare if they mess up badly, which will likely not happen. And, uh, why are you correcting people's spelling?
See above for the mindshare talk, never denied they still have it.They don't need to be reactionary to microsoft at all, Microsoft is still playing catch up and still are behind Sony.ok? but that's not how it is. Sony will show off the ps5 similar to what they did with the ps4. Some people are overreacting for little to no reason and Sony still has the mindshare.
I get where OP is coming from, but aside from the big games games that were already announced the last time they were at E3 (TLOU2, GoT) there weren't/ aren't any AAA exclusives on the horizon (that haven't yet released, like Days Gone).
The Nintendo approach with the State of Plays probably generated less hype than they anticipated, I think that was their biggest intended line of communication. Add to that various changes and behind the scenes stuff we don't know about at the office side of things (whatever happened with Layden etc) and PS5 releasing in 2020, not 2019, you arrive where we are now.
I expect them starting to drum up the hype cycle for PS5 with various live shows and State of Plays in a few short weeks.
What do you want them to do? Email you personally about the PS5 details instead of having a "random article" on a huge tech website lmao
I'm really not seeing any buzz for the xsx rn, the buzz is about hzd PC port lol. And, no, I don't, see switch's position. It had Mario Odyssey and Zelda, which blew the competition out of the water and it's selling more and faster than ps4. It's all about software and it has always been about it. If Sony announces God of War 2/5, hzd2 and spider Man 2 and say TLOU 2 will have enhanced ps5 features, that's all they need to keep people hyped. And you shouldn't correct people, it's rude unless asked for.I correct people spelling because i care.
The "wreck" the logo caused was 5 minutes in the spotlight, there are no discussions created around it anymore because, to be honest, it's just a logo, even if you are totally obsessed by the brand there's not much to talk about... while all the stuff that Microsoft divulged has created buzz that is still lasting. And don't you think that having stuff like worse hardware at launch, a much weaker games subscription/streaming services are potential damage to Sony's mindshare? That's what i mean about neutral, people still like Sony of course but lately Microsoft is getting all the good news.
ITT: people who love marketing more than products for some reason
It was January 31st.Does anyone remember last time when they actually announced the Feb PS meeting, all I remember it was in January sometime they announced it for February 20th I believe, Jan is coming to a close soon and still no announcements for an event in Feb :(
and the feel of a power struggle. Hence so many comments, and threads.
We still don't know what went down with Shawn Layden. Right?
pretty much what I was going to ask. Sony will start sending out the minutes memo of every internal meeting.
One of Valves worst problems is no communication.
😂Oh man. Gotta love next gen hype cycle. From anticonsumer to this
I'd argue that the only reason it blew up is because the average Joe didn't know the PS5 was already announced, since they don't read the tech articles Sony was putting out.PS5 logo was the most liked thing this month lol. Communication is different from 10 years ago dude.
I don't think it's rude at all i actually appreciate a lot when people correct me and even if i'd rather be rude and have a chance for the person to type correctly next time than being sure to see the error next time by trying to be nice.
Revealing your brand new console through a casual text article has to be in the most fucking stupid marketing decisions I've seen in years.
I was talking in general regarding the overreacting.See above for the mindshare talk, never denied they still have it.
If you are referring to me about overreacting you'd be wrong because not only i'm far and far away from buying a next gen console but i'm already 99.9% sure of what i am buying regardless of how things go simply by the virtue of already knowing that one is getting more japanese software support and another one more westerner software support.
Like this is an overreaction plus the console hasn't been unveiled. It will be soon though.I agree OP. The PS5 trickle of news has been absolutely terrible. Revealing your brand new console through a casual text article has to be in the most fucking stupid marketing decisions I've seen in years. And the trickle of news since at odd events hasn't done anything to help.

1 - the console warriors are feeling threatened.Company who says on record that they will be crouching down to spring up strong has been quiet...im wondering what some people expect.
Why dont you wait until ps5 reveal as intended?
