PS5 Deep Dive PlayStation 5 1

Proof that even with the worst marketing strategy since those wailing babies Sony can still command insane levels of attention: PlayStation 5 architect Mark Cerny’s fake Game Developers Conference speech has been watched over 12 million times since debuting earlier in the week. That’s an enormous number for a presentation that was filled with four syllable words – the majority of which few will understand.

It also underlines what a missed opportunity this was: the Japanese giant failed to show a second of next-gen gameplay footage and couldn’t even put together any tangible demos. We know a whole lot more about the PS5’s SSD, for example, but we don’t know what kind of advancements it will bring. And as for PlayStation 5 backwards compatibility, well, fans are still baffled by that. The manufacturer has the industry at its fingertips, but it’s making a right pig’s ear of it all.
