So... "there is nothing to this news"
BUT...
"this might happen finally"
Whoa, top reporting right there.

I think that it was better to just put the year at the end of the reveal trailer so they had some breathing room. The release window is initially 2025. Could be spring 2025, could be Fall 2025. Hard to say.
If it's the latter and the delay comes, I think it would be a few months, which I don't think it will be that big of a deal imo.

If it gets delayed it may fuck with Sony PS5 Pro's release. What the fuck are they gonna sell/market the console with? Theres no huge blockbuster game releasing other than GTA6. Wolverine? Prolly not.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
?
The PS5 Pro is supposedly releasing this calendar year. GTA VI is releasing next year barring any delays. They're not aligned at all.

Apparently second half of 2025 is when more Sony blockbusters are expected. On top of that I don't think Sony has any real plans for the PS5 pro other than to just have it out there. They aren't expecting it to explode their hardware sales. PS4 Pro apparently ended up being 20% of their total sales. I'm sure they expect around the same or even slightly less. Might also benefit from the all the stuff going on with Xbox and people wanting to move over to the other team with the latest hardware.

Imagine if MS manages to get a next gen "System" out close to the launch of this. They might sell a few hundred thousand extra consoles.

The Pro is also gonna sell fans on the future- the remaining half of the PS5s life cycle. Not just spring/fall 2025.
Thats any game from here till PS6. No blockbusters that you are aware of TODAY.

Internally there's date which can always be changed or delayed. Luckily all the public knows is 2025. Which, I bet will slip.

People need to use common sense. He's saying that as of now there is no delay. But as with any large scale project this far out, it could certainly change.

Maybe it's holiday 2025.
Might get delayed to 2026.

Guess will see at the next State of Play or GOTY awards, tho I remain incredibly skeptical that Sony has some super hidden blockbusters that will release next year.

Well ignoring that GTA VI is already scheduled to not come out till possibly over a year after the PS5 Pro even without a delay... Assassin's Creed Shadows, Monster Hunter Wilds, Dragon Age Veilguard, Death Stranding 2, Borderlands 4, Doom: The Dark Ages and whatever first/third party games are coming in 2025 we don't know about yet. There's lots of games to show off the PS5 Pro running.

When it was first announced in 2023 people hoped.

Isn't that exactly what happened with Astrobot? It was revealed in May and released in Sept, might be the new normal at Sony.

Nice 6 employees out of 3,000-5,000 (a google check gets vague answers).
The 6 people were cafeteria workers too.

I mean...he only reported that 6 people said the game wasn't delayed. That's all. The second part is him warning that things change fast.
He's basically calling the weekend rumor bullshit. What else is there to report?

So you're saying they hear all the news and know more than everyone else?

Astro wasnt a big release, just a surprise hit, tho we don't know yet if it sold well, critic scores matter little in sales, I certainly didnt get it day one nor my friends, it's a wait for sale for us, havent even bought Stellar Blade yet either. Also, big releases get preorders like a year in advance so yeah.

Those arent system sellers lmao, and all of them are multiplatform. Only one I see being big is Wolverine.

Why does being multiplatform matter when selling the PS5 Pro? lol. You can show how much better the game looks on it compared to other consoles. Monster Hunter is absolutely a system seller in Japan, the others are big games that will be good to showcase. You don't need a GTA VI level game to market your system, though it would obviously be more effective.

Sony has been crazy with their marketing, even India where we don't get game marketing had massive marketing push behind it. Sony clearly expected a lot from it( especially when you compare to how Concord was marketed). As for sales, it has been doing great physically, digital should also be, correspondingly, great. Would be suprised if it doesn't move 2-3 million copies in the first week.

Edit: Sorry, due to shitty net, I seem to have posted this comment numerous times. Can anyone tell me how to delete comments?

They will either have to drop the Series S requirement, and piss off the entire development community or, once again, give Sony a free 6-12 month exclusive window.
Which sword would you rather die on
