"We stayed up until 1:30am last night to watch Sony's Jim Ryan reveal the official PlayStation 5 logo so that you didn't have to, but that didn't stop millions of people across the globe from sharing the news across social media. In fact, Sony's simple Instagram post has more than double the likes of Microsoft's Xbox Series X announcement and the Japanese giant didn't even have a console to show.

At the time of writing, the official PlayStation Instagram account can boast of a whopping 4.2 million likes on its PS5 logo reveal while the Xbox Series X announcement trailer debuted at The Game Awards 2019 is sitting at 1.8 million views. A separate post made on the same day detailing the name and the box itself currently has just under 990,000 likes a month later. It is worth noting that PlayStation also has more than double the amount of followers Xbox does on Instagram, but this is clearly proof that the Sony fanbase is eager for further information."

Xbox is DOOMED!

Whelp, pack it up people. Time for Xbox to go third party so people can play all those games Xbox doesn't have on their PS5.

 

[ethomaz]

These negative news lol
Sony is really desperated lol

 

[MoreJRPG]

Sony is untouchable right now.

 

[Vasto]

How long before we get Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, Monkey app and Tumbler numbers?

 

[Kacho]

Makes sense.

A huge chunk of the PlayStation audience skews on the younger side -- and we're talking on a global scale here, so lots of dirty Android users.

Microsoft has a smaller audience overall, but that audience is older, typically makes good money and own iPhones.

"Today I am here to announce......... Our new....... LOGO."

"GOTT'EMMM"

Xbox is DOOMED!

As I say it before.

The first problem of Xbox series X... Its the itself name and confusing the costumers with Xbox One X... If was Xbox scarlett the situation will be different.

 

[Coolwhhip]

I bet they bought likes!

 

[GHG]

I bet they bought likes!

The real purpose of Death Stranding was to condition people into liking things online.

The names ridiculous. They put so much unnecessary work on their marketing department and sales teams.

 

[FStubbs]

Just goes to show the massive gap between the two. It's not a rivalry when one side always wins.

 

[Psykodad]

I was trying to come up with a joke, but MS beat me to it.

Not this again.

 

[vpance]

That's impressive. Gotta be a record of some sort.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Not this again.

To be honest I was confusing about that, and this is a problem because im a passionate gamer... Now when the costumers are casual gamers. Its a big problem

It's usually the brain dead consumers that can't tell the difference and lack the will to research the new console.

You seriously think people are stupid enough to confuse a console that's released in 2020 with one released in 2017 and looks completely different?

 

[888]

I’m just here waiting for the new PC 2 logo.

 

[Kacho]

9 Teraflops.

Well WiiU say hello!

Yeah in part of lack of know even in the sellers

 

[GHG]

Are you a malfunctioning bot or something?

 

[ManaByte]

Well WiiU say hello!

The WiiU looked almost exactly the same as the Wii.

You seriously think people will not be able to tell the difference between these consoles?

[Hawking Radiation]

A lot of triggered folk in this thread
Take it easy fellas.

 

[Aidah]

Playstation brand is much more popular overall. We already know that.

 

[CJ_75]

This is no fun. We should invite people from Macrumors to figure out all the hints Sony buried in this logo.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I bet they bought likes!

Well time will tell everything.

WiiU was a huge different console.

 

[ethomaz]

Sony shares is up after CES too.

 

[CJY]

To be fair, they both share a similar design language and the new console doesn't immediately suggest a generational leap to the uninformed.

I actually feel funny even calling it a console - it looks so much like a PC. Perhaps "consolized PC" might be more accurate.

 

[TeamGhobad]

to be expected. xbox is pretty much unknown outside of the west.

This supposed to be sarcasm?

 

[Mr Hyde]

4:1 sales ratio then.

 

[Gamernyc78]

What games?

 

[iconmaster]

Xbox has a long hill to climb.

 

[Gamernyc78]

It's crazy how ppl kid themselves in thinking Microsoft gaming has this larger worldwide appeal. Microsoft could do things perfectly and the reality is Sony has a larger market and mind share tht isn't going anywhere. They will sell more.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Mid-season form already, are we guys? I see Snoy fans are so eager to dunk on someone they will use literally made up metrics to do it.

 

[Grinchy]

The first to 10 million instagram likes wins the generation.

OH I know your name well. Stop with the hypocrisy the blood lust from the fanboys on all sides is extreme.

 

[Lionel Richie]

No hypocrisy friend, I'm very forthcoming about being a fanboy and I actually enjoy console wars, most of the time anyway.

 

[Outrunner]

And yet Xboys out there on the internet talking as if Playstation was the one with catching up to do because some intern leaked out that Xbox Series X would be 12 TF.

 

[webber]

I actually didn't like the logo.
The middle part of the 5 should be higher.

Wait until this summer to boast about having a PC to game with
