Does SONY need to eat any more crow than MICROSOFT? They both have mixed messaging, Series X has plenty of next-gen exclusive games and they're even rumored to be dropping the X1 version of Halo Infinite now, and SONY has more cross-gen games than they made it seem they'd have, they both said the opposite of what they're actually doing.

Or how about we stop taking PR from any company at face value?
 
They saw Xbox say price and pre order date, leaving Sony this week as a window for both. Had to take it.
Man....no kidding 🤣.

I thought that maybe pre-orders would open up just for the Sony store after the event. But then black friday levels of madness happened.....

Microsoft doesn't need an apology. Sony needs to be hammered just like MS is. They pulled a fast one on Miles Morales and Horizon Forbidden West on the day of pre-orders. It's shitty.
Yep Microsoft no matter how shitty was up front about cross generation for people to decide. Sony is cross generation you have 5 minutes or no pre order it is beyond shitty.

What An Amazing event . Loved it . 10/10

Finally found someone shares the same feel about the event! I mean, I'm so pumped for Destruction Allstars being a launch title! The prices of the consoles are great as well. Now only trying to preorder, I think it's all due to the event being 12am here. :lollipop_crying: Now it's 5:28am, might as well take some coffee and be in the mall right at 9am and help them open the shop while at it.:lollipop_tears_of_joy:
 
I swear I have no motivation to even try going for a console at this point. I hate having to worry about preorders, etc 😅.

I might as well have it delivered. I don't want to deal with a mass of angry people fighting over a console. People here fought over toilet paper.....

Nope not dealing with that.

God of war is PS5 exclusive


I was going to have a meltdown if it wasn't.

Still shocked at the 2021 release date, I've been eagerly awaiting the sequel for 2 years now.

Moore'sLawIsDead did get the next year release date right as well as the teaser coming up in Sony's next event. If he is to be believed he did also state that the game will have "jaw dropping graphics which approach photorealism" which something they can't pull off on a cross-gen title, so his leak does seem to add up. Regardless, I'm so dam hyped!
 
Isn't that kinda what I'm saying, though? That they both didn't stick to their word?
Sony wasn't transparent enough, they said "We believe in generations" and that they wanted to have "games that could only be playable on new hardware". And yeah, they really have next gen only games, but they were also going the cross gen route from the beginning and didn't say a word until now. So we can complain about their cross gen strategy but they were telling the truth when they talked about having next gen only games, even if there are less than we thought.

Asking which one should eat my crow is not the same as saying stop letting companies who are trying to sell you products lie to you as you willingly throw down money before they prove their claims.

MLID redeemed. Now let's see if the Mark Cerny game gets revealed in the coming weeks, but it seems it will skip the launch day.
 
GAME cancelled my order

Don’t feel bad had Best Buy and Target email me and canceled my PS5 DE pre order. My credit card has a 50,000 dollar limit and can’t even buy a preorder...lol. Amazon and Sony is my only hope. I think Sony either didn’t make enough PS5 DE or they are the hottest console at launch I can remember.

I mean I want them both to eat crow for their bs PR. Maybe it's a MEANER way of saying it but WTF, I supported SONY'S PR because I AGREED WITH IT, not because I'm some SONY PONY, I actually was with the idea that you say FUCK THE PAST GEN, WE WANT NEW GOODIES GOODIES MMM MMM IN MY TUMMY

And that's why they said it.

Always wait till the product is out and you can listen to others who are not drinking the kool aid.

In addition, PS5 price reveal tweet got 240k likes just 1 hour after PS5 showcase ended. So, around 10k more than XSX/S tweet which was tweeted on Sep. 9th. Anyway, now is over 310k. Yep, PS5 is priced really well

I'm expecting God of War 2 to slip into early 2022. I've always assumed it will need 4 years from 1st game. Spring 2022.

Yeah, those 2 cross-gen games, Halo and Grounded, so up front.
They were upfront now you know why Sony was being secret squirrels. They wanted to hide the cross generation bomb as pre orders hit last second by the way dot dot dot. Just because Sony is now shady as EA don't get mad at us.

It's post-covid19 lockdown so all the major hurdles the studios went through have past now, that's not to say another wave is incoming (I hope not). But with that said, Santa Monica still decided to slap the 2021 date regardless of the covid19 struggles so they must be confident about that date. This is just my guess but yeah I won't be surprised if the game gets delayed till early 2021, I really hope not though.

Feeling good and vindicated now that Sony went $399 for the digital PS5.

It got so annoying seeing people be like "its just a disc drive, no way it can be more than $50 less."

They're pushing the digital path and I'm all in. Went all digital with PS4 on day 1 and love it.

Kinda makes buying the Sbox look like a bit of a bad value.

Did they though? If this is the quote people are using to claim no cross-gen (which honestly would have been for the best, fuck this gen) then that's their reading failure:
“We have always said that we believe in generations. We believe that when you go to all the trouble of creating a next-gen console, that it should include features and benefits that the previous generation does not include. And that, in our view, people should make games that can make the most of those features,” he said. “We do believe in generations, and whether it’s the DualSense controller, whether it’s the 3D audio, whether it’s the multiple ways that the SSD can be used... we are thinking that it is time to give the PlayStation community something new, something different, that can really only be enjoyed on PS5.”

It's talking about features
We do believe in generations, and whether it’s the DualSense controller, whether it’s the 3D audio, whether it’s the multiple ways that the SSD can be used... we are thinking that it is time to give the PlayStation community something new, something different, that can really only be enjoyed on PS5.

Those features are not available on PS4, we're all just fucking stupid and thought no cross-gen, which he should have clarified way before now though.
