PS5 : The Future Of Gaming. NeoGAF Viewing Thread. June 11th 1PM PDT/ 9PM BST

why the hell would you care more about features than you would about the games you're going to be playing on the console? That's just stupid..

Because most games are honestly "ok, but not something I need". There's like a really small list of my must haves and they are third party games usually. Meaning games matter only as far as they are interesting. The features on the other hand is defining for a whole console generation. Lots of these games aren't even something I'll consider, especially for a purchase at launch.

PS4 certainly didn't sell itself on games at launch I'll tell you, because I can't remember anything good at launch for first party. It did sell on its features. Later it also had one really good exclusive in Bloodborne. However, Sony has been rather late with their really good games. Honestly, PS3 had a better launch than PS4 in Europe, having Motorstorm which was a blast.
Most games being shown here lacks the big wow factor that you went with from PS2->PS3 and PS3->PS4. You can have 100 games, but if they're just "looking ok", then it's worthless. Features are however golden and with the big amount of third party games, they're all-encompassing.
 
ShinyGen?

It's like every other gen we get some new craze that devs go OTT with. Last gen it was cursed with bloom, this gen they settled down and we got some cool visual styles and now we are about to embark on a gen with all the shiny.
 
Sony bros....did we lose?....

Not really I wouldn't come anywhere close to saying they lost. The only reason I would say this is better than the third party reveal thing from Microsoft is because it's focused on PlayStation and we're very likely to see the console at some point during all this.
