I wish:
- All pre-orders would go through Sony

or

- Retailers can only do pre-orders if they integrate PSN login check or something to ensure only one order per PSN login

Fuck scalpers.
 
They had to comment on this today since the share price took a hit yesterday on the Bloomberg article. As a public company you do not have much choice when that happens. Rumours you can technically ignore even if they move your share price but Bloomberg is credible enough for you to have to comment. You read way too much into Sony following stock market regulations.
I agree, and it was again Bloomberg that said back when everything was finalized and was about to enter production that sony aims for a more limited production than ps4, fearing higher cost and epidemic economics.
That's where the "5 to 6 million units until March 31st" came from.
I am saying they didn't issue any statement falsifying either that one.
And Bloomberg saying that you will produce less than your previous launch is not great news, but yet they remained silent.
 
You are right. Either none of these reports can be believed, or all.

One good thing -at least for USA- that is already verified by the company that made the deal, is that sony has secured a substantial number of air freights so that they can ship directly to retail from production, within a day or two.

I'd imagine the plan for the US is to fly in plane loads into the high demand places in-between container ship loads that take 30+ days to arrive plus another week to distribute?

Not necessarily . There were other articles in the past too which caused Sonys drops in shares, like last year for Spiderman, Marvel and Disney thing. But Sony didn't commented on this
Sony otherwise never comments on this stuff, but they felt the need to debunk thaz crap. Wasn't the first time that Bloomberg was wrong about something, though.

Was that Marvel thing true?
 
Lisa Su spreading FUD and acting like she knows insider info.

Bo you are a slow reader today. I have already addressed that

Are Marvel superheroes aiding the transport too? :messenger_beaming:

I don't think there's any circumstance where pre-orders would not be up on Amazon as soon as they go live. It's simply too important a retailer.
 
You're full of shit.

I really do hope your day is going well and it continues to go well. I don't get offend about your comments on a forum. I pass on what I heard. I don't know if all the details are 100% correct. I pass on the gist of what I'm told. Personally I'm excited. I have a new Xbox Series X and PS5 DE coming this fall. New next gen games! I can't wait for pre orders 2 open. I'm blessed, multimillionaire. I sitting outside drinking some Jim Bean and waiting on the pool guy to come clean my pool. Trying to decide what Headphones I'm going to buy for my PS5 DE. I know the Pulse headsets support The Tempst audio engine. But I'm scared of the build quality. Reminds me to much of the PS GOLD headsets. I had 3 pair of them. To me the build Quality was bad. Do you have any insight into PS5 Headsets or advice to give me?

No wonder Sony responded so quick, their share prices dropped 3.5% in a day wiping out couple of billions in market cap.

I still feel Bloomberg are not your regular run of the mill trash but their information was too vague and probably outdated. Ain't no console manufacturer binning their SoC with yields at ~50%, If it were true, that thing would've been delayed months ago and being re-designed as of now. 5m per quarter or 4m per quarter, we'll never quite know what the updated forecast was from Sony when they increased production but the doom and gloom surrounding the machine yesterday was as usual way OTT. That thing is still tracking to be the biggest and fastest selling PlayStation yet, so rest easy. Sony know what they are doing, this isn't their first rodeo with a console launch.

Read my mind...this is what i was thinking as i was reading these posts.
 
Was the story about Spider-Man, Marvel and Disney true? If it was then that might explain why Sony didn't comment even if it did affect stock price.

Well, i can't tell. Did they cut ties with Disney, i dunno. But hey, Miles Morales is near.

Anyway, one logic sense, if Sony goes really aggressive with price tomorrow, you can bet that 11-15 mil. till end of March 2021 is true. There is no other way around. There will be a high demand surely
 
I think one thing has to be mentioned.
Sony is the market leader and therefore wants to appeal to everyone.
They want parents to buy a PS5 for their kids. Or show parents who want a PS5 that this a good investment because it also has a lot of kid friendly games.

So do expect to see "kids" games. Expect to see games that are a bit "out there". Games with mass a niche appeal. Its not gonna be 40 minutes of GoW, HZD, Silent Hill, Spiderman, GT7 and so on. Not every game shown will appeal to YOU. In fact there might only be one or two games that will appeal to YOU in particular. Out of maybe 15 games. Remember that.

You are not the only video game playing human on earth and your taste is NOT universal. Sony will try to appeal to as many folks as possible and with launch line ups being rather small, that means only very few games will cater to ones specific taste.

Also do not forget that most games are about 3 months or more behind schedule because of Covid. So even if there were rumors about certain games it does not mean they are ready for a showing just yet. Showing of a vertical slice like the E3 presentation of HZD or GoW takes weeks (!!!) of work. If you have to decide between working on that vertical slice or getting the game out earlier and make money it will always be getting the game out. So maybe they cant show good gameplay of games they intended to show and it will just be some pre render or logo reveal or dev interview. Its probably what happened to some of the stuff from the xbox showing.

I can not stress enough how important it is to accept these things so I wont have to read about "how fucking disappointing" it was. Its only a disappointment if you set yourself up for it.

Despite a lot of rumors I still only expect Spiderman as AAA on release, plus maybe some AA stuff (Little big Planet or Bugsnax or whatever). The rest will be filled with 3rd party timed exclusives or exclusive content that probably no one asked for. Everything else probably comes later.

That is the mindset I have set for myself. End of the year is still going to be great with Mafia Remake, Cyberpunk and Spiderman. Maybe some cool indy game like 12 hours.
 
Anyone read anything about whether they're planning any next gen upgrades? I'd imagine 4k/120 with RT should be fairly easily attainable on this.

I asked and they said no plans at this time which sucks.

Of course they made make that announcement any day.

It did take them like a year to finally release an Xbox One X enhancement patch.

I'm hyped for Mafia Remake, CyberPunk, AC Valhalla and SpiderMan Miles. Any other great games this fall will be a blessing. Though I'm curious where the story is going in Destiny 2 new expansion...kinda has my interest peaked!

Spent endless hours on it with my cousin. He's good with flying and doing tricks I'm good at defending, we change spots but it's usually I'm the defender/assist provider and he's the scorer. :messenger_bicep::messenger_sunglasses:

Best I have ever managed was drifting between Diamond 3 and Champion 1 but was never able to hold Champ.

Pretty happy sticking in the Diamond area.
 
Sony have started gearing up their "Ready for PlayStation 5" marketing campaign with Sony TV's in store.

Mine is locked and loaded waiting for the PS5. 👊🏻😎

I hope I'll manage to grab mine as well! A 65" will do :)

Not sure about those titles, it's been like 3-4 years? Not sure, but didn't play it for so long since then. So much fun.

I never had a crew to play with so my ranking was all over the place :messenger_tears_of_joy: It was always a crapshoot depending on how skilled my random teammates were.

Some of my most played games this gen have been through PS+ (Resogun, Rocket League, Binding of Isaac) and I'm hoping we get some solid PS+ games around launch.
