The FUD on PS5 is laughably weak
Constantly about backwards compatibility, UI, console teardowns? Why? Because these are things that MS showed already
In reality, these are incidental features that will not sell the hardware
Since the start of this year Sony has had 2 major showcases and a developer focused one that have absolutely wiped the floor with the competition in terms of engagement metrics
During this they've:
- Unveiled a fantastic first year lineup
- Had COD, GTA, Fortnite, Resident Evil, FFXVI, NBA2K on stage. Lending name association to PS5 while all eyes were on them
- Established the UE5 in association with their hardware
- Unveiled an exciting new controller
- Provided their vision for the hardware via Mark Cerny
- Locked up FF exclusivity
- Announced a long awaited remake in Demons Souls
- Announced a new Spiderman
- Announced a new numbered GT
- Announced the follow up to Horizon
- Announced a new God of War
- Had multiple tech showpieces in Demons Souls, Ratchet, Horizon and UE5
- Nailed the pricing
- Broke the internet with preorders and literally had people lining up in a pandemic to get store preorders
In reality, they have put the biggest names in gaming on their stages. Multiple 10+ million sellers. They've had the games and they've had the gameplay to show. They have all the technical showpieces for next gen. These things will sell consoles, not a picture of the motherboard.
Microsoft has completely focused on the wrong things and if not for the Bethesda save, they would be in complete free fall.
