I feel like these articles hold just as much wait as any of us non insiders in here. Pure speculation based on same info that's been recycled a dozen times. The journalists know as much as we do.... jack shit.

If you think that OsirisBlack OsirisBlack is lying, contact with @Mod of War and provide evidence about your claim.

If not, please stop descrediting another users out of the blue, put him on ignore and move on.

The poster just needs to refer to OsirisBlack OsirisBlack earlier post when he said he was trying to get his source to agree to getting some comments on the record, it would appear his source has agreed to do so, but only after the reveal has happened.

No need to bother the mods with people that cannot read anyway.

Since when does revealing a new console mean abandoning your previous one? Games are selling/will still sell after you announce a new console. It's not like it's a secret to anyone! No one stops themselves from buying games on a console to wait for the next one that might or might not bring improvements to previous gen games, and people buying PS4s for 200$ on Black Friday is t the market for a brand new 500$ PS5 so it doesn't affect PS4 sales one bit. The hardcore forum dweller isn't the 6 year late cheap ass console buyer who's looking for the best deal and 10$ games in the bargain bins! No matter how big of a reveal Sony could do with PS5 right now, it wouldn't affect TLOU2's sales one bit!

I'm not saying the reveal will totally affect PS4 sales rather it's not necessary as PS4 is selling great and they can concentrate on PS5 closer to its launch in ~November.

What does them revealing the console now, 9-10 months away from release, really achieve? It's a long ass time til we can buy it.

I've been through multiple console launches and I've never got anxious about a manufacturer revealing info lol. It's just not even on my radar until a few months before physically being able to purchase it. That being said I do enjoy speculation on games, specs etc.

Gosh, imagine if the PS5 really is BC with PS1 and PS2 discs. You'd walk into CEX one day and see a PS2 game for £1, then walk in after the announcement and see it priced at £19.99 ...

Bro idc about bc tht much buttttt if it's bc with ps3 and Demon Souls is a part of tht with upped res and added effects my God I'd be in heaven. I easily put 200 hours into tht game.

Yeah it's a fact all companies take sales into account when strategically planning unveils so idk what ppl don't understand. They are not rushing to announce psv completely or certain info for two reasons (1)they are hoping to hear the Xbox price first and (2) ps4 is still selling well although it has dropped but thy don't want to cannabalize sales.

The recent price drop on PS4 Pro to $299 should help their adoption rate and add sales to their PS4 customer base. I don't see sales being cannibalized by this though. If I was going to wait on buying a Playstation console until the next gen releases, I wasn't going to buy the PS4 at this point regardless. The unveiling would not affect which system I go with either.

If I were on a budget, I wasn't buying PS5 at this point regardless of Unveiling.

Thts you but everyone doesn't think that way. There are ppl tht have multiple ps4's, some die, some ppl need to get new ones if I saw all the psv info I'd wait to get a psv instead of another ps4 especially with bc. Ps4's are still selling in the thousands to your point why? Why are ppl still buying them because there still a need of a console in ppls house, again money and price play a big part but ps4 is not tht cheap at this point to warrant ppl buying it instead if they new ps5 has all this bc and is soon around the corner. A full fledge reveal and pricing will undoubtedly affect sales of ps4 imo. Hey but thts my opinion.

Mind you they still have the big hitters in TLOU and Ghost of T thy want to drive ps4 sales and if ppl know thy can play those on psv thyll wait. We know but the masses don't.

Without discounting any point you make..

People replacing a system right now might buy right now depending on the person. Regardless of reveal, the new system isn't releasing any sooner than holidays. If the system needs replacement closer to the holidays, that purchase decision might be affected.

People needing a console in they're house? That was something I sort of included by mentioning people on a budget or we can also include frugally minded people in that.

Yea he completely lost me with that one. The whole story makes no sense at all. The free access he seems to have to the game and studio. Suddenly turning into a freelance journalist that will be ousting the source of his leaks as soon as he publishes.... Sounds like total bullshit.

I'm surprised you're the only one to call this out.. People have become too desparate for information.

Keep an eye out for the store I used to work for and apologize to me after that. Also you're welcome. I Guess Nothing. Follows the. Gross Information.

Well the only thing we can take note of from next gen reveals going forward is that the gen after this, PS6/Xsx2 wait maybe even longer lol, Sony and MS have done well to keep things locked down this well. I have a feeling next time around could be an even longer wait

OsirisBlack OsirisBlack Can you tell us anything about the new DS5 if you used it in the demos you were shown??

Does the controller indeed have a touch screen now?

Some kind of GameStop stream today? Do we need to sign up for that information alert?

Never mind. [ I see it's a riddle ] :messenger_tears_of_joy: I'm hapless at being a detective when it comes to these next-gen leaks.

BTW did you guys see Gamers Nexus' new video? Dude talks about the PS5 BOM and that they (GN) know why it's expensive but they can't talk about it :pie_thinking:

My guess? Custom RT/Custom SSD/Custom Audio solutions, especially the SSD.

They state they know specifically why the cooling is expensive and that they can't talk about it yet. (19:28 in the vid you posted, he singles out knowing why the thermal solution costs more)
They didn't mention other aspects of the BOM.

Sorry, I must have been drowsy when I watched lol
 
I have strong feeling the reveal is on March 11th (not an insider)

The way he talked about the cooling being expensive gave me so much hope. 2.0 ghz might be too high but i wouldnt be surprised if they hit 1.8 ghz.

Can you imagine them spending $4 instead of the $.99? I can use my ps5 to cool my mountain dew while playing COD.

From the sounds of it, the way he said why they know, it sounds like it might be pretty unconventional. I've mentioned the ThermoSiphon elsewhere, but a small version of that would be wild.
