It makes sense. Sony has for whatever reason decided to keep their stuff under lock and key. Since there is nothing useful to say we get fluff pieces and speculation from legitimate sites and negative comments from trolls. Normally that would be drowned out by facts, but we have almost none since... June. Or maybe you can count the PS5 controller demo in July? That’s why John from DF gets depressed, it’s not fun when all we have is empty speculation and trolling. I mean PS4 Pro did true 4k so... why are we amplifying stupid?
BC is big for me.This will be my first Playstation. I want to play a ton of PS4 games and I hope they will run better than ever. Witcher 3 with better frame rates and shorter load times? Spiderman at 60fps? Horizon Zero Dawn at native 4k? Just waiting Sony... it’s August. Sigh.
price guess: digital for $450, disk for $550. DF suggests actual price difference is between $25-50 per unit accounting for disk and digital revenue. I think Sony will charge more for disk model to subsidize the digital model and drive its price down (eg they both cost around $500 all things being equal). They will probably run out of stock either way given covid.
I think MS is smart. Treat it like the One X and people will still buy it. Also, there is way less pressure to deliver everything this year given supply chain issues and game delays we don’t even know about. People can play their games on Windows, on existing systems, and even via streaming.
Operating System walkthrough (I wish there was a soundtrack jukebox mode for games)
Show me actually turning the machine on and putting in a game
Backwards compatibility with PS4 games and your personal collection.
UHD playback options (HDR formats?)
Preorder options
Digital store/PS Plus/PS Now (are they changing?)
Notice I did not say anything about Xbox because they are a separate thing. If Sony wants to compare/contrast/spar with them fine, I don’t care. I can understand others who are trying to choose between the two might want that, but I think that’s a small number of people. I just want deets and I want them now!
