While we didn't see the PlayStation 5 at Sony's CES 2020 press conference, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan did have a few choice words to say about the next-gen console. Ryan spoke about the PS5 for a good few minutes, and although no new information was shared -- barring the official logo reveal -- Ryan was quick to reiterate the company's stance on delivering top quality games.
Software has been the PS4's pillar this generation, with Sony's studios -- and a handful of third-party partners -- pumping out excellent titles. Not only have exclusives like God of War and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End received near universal praise, they've also posted some seriously impressive sales numbers. Naturally, it sounds like Sony wants to continue down this road, using software to define PlayStation.
During the aforementioned press conference, Ryan made a promise to PlayStation's audience. He said: "Our promise to the 100 million strong PlayStation community is to offer the biggest and best in content, and to deliver unique experiences to gamers with unprecedented speed." In other words, it's still all about the games as far as Sony's concerned.
It goes without saying that the Japanese giant will want to replicate the PS4's runaway success with the PS5, and from where we're sitting, this looks like the right way to do it.

Keen to find out what direction Uncharted goes next.
I love pirates and Indiana Jones, to me, Uncharted is the pinnacle of Sony's exclusives.
Sony, its the best time to bring back some classics.... champions of norrath hint hint hint
So much potential! With the acquisition of insomniac, I really hope that studio is working on both Spiderman 2 and a new ratchet and clank! I don't normally buy the next gen console on release date, but if there is a strong launch lineup that is exclusive to the PS5, I might have to cave and buy myself an Xmas present! Fingers crossed for a new socom game!
"And we're going to use that clout to cement our excessive censorship policies as an industry standard, y'know, for all our loyal players!"
Don't mind me here, just feeling a bit salty this morning I guess.
Come on!!! Unleash bloodborne 2 on this world Sony.
Can't wait to see what games will be on the PS5.
Will they hold a February reveal event?
@Neolit
I highly doubt they will have it ready, but your absolutely right! Although who knows with Sony these days, they have alot cooking and don't like to share with us
come on PS5... show me more and show me console and I will shut up and give you my moneyyyyy
I want SIE Japan Studio to get some love too. Make them shine, Sony.
@NYJetsfan123 @Neolit While I don’t think they will have the sequel ready for launch I fully expect there will be a trailer ready for the reveal so people know it’s coming.
I hope Sony keeps their word. They have been moving exclusives to p.c lately, so I I'm not gonna buy their words as they did lie about DS exclusively to Sony putting ps4 titles on psnow and having their own first party studio make a multiplat game. Sony needs to keep their focus on the ps community cause with the pass months they have literally gave ps community the finger to appease p.c only players cause they whine about exclusives not coming to their platform.
