Breaking: PS5 deep dive March 18th, 9 AM PT, 4PM GT

It’s coming folks.

Bout time!

Fucking finally!

I guess Sony has been reading System Wars lately.

Panic move or always planned? They need to show everything, no more drips of info.

Sony needs to throw in a game reveal or two if they want to come out swinging. The Xbox breakdowns were so boring seeing old ass games. It hardly feels like a new gen. It feels like the XSX is just another upgraded Xbox One.

The features of the Xbox were bland. I’m not a fan of VR or see its potential, but seeing how it is developing and improving should be more exciting.

YAY!I hope I can pre-order soon.

Interesting to respond right away. PR wise you know the news is going to be compared directly with yesterday series X dump.

Expectations set. They recorded their planned ASMR Mark Cerny GDC talk with developers.

Digital Foundry will be all over this news. (Hits notification bell)

It should be note that this is apparently the presentation they had planned for GDC.

I am already sure he can just stand there say I am mark Cerny from Sony have a good day and still would get more hype than the Xbox.🤣

Feeling Sony had no choice about revealing. Either tell us what you got or continue to be ignored. I also think the power advantage will continue to be MSofts.

Weaker console confirmed,cross gen confirmed,fannyboy meltdown confirmed

HAH

#bothconsoles #allthepowerallthegames #winning

Lol. It will be like when Sony announced the PS1 price at E3. All he has to say is 15 gigaflops and Console Wars is over.

Get ready for a flashflood of lemming tears.

@kuu2:

I think power will be irrelevant this gen more than any other regardless of MS or Sony owning the crown,and is because graphics have hit a point we're even shitty games look great.

@bluestars: What?

@bluestars:

Shitty post from usual alt confirmed.🤣

Let's hope for all those crying Sony fannies that the PS5 is going to outclass the Series X otherwise they will be missing in action.😎

Lol, facts

Two things are going to happen tomorrow(someone already started the damage control with one these strategies 😂), power now matters and power does matter. The other variant is power does win console wars. I can't wait to read the fiasco. I will be bringing my gasoline for the fire.😈

Lmao, also facts. Tomorrow will be legendary. Ill bring some hamburgers & hotdogs for the BBQ.

My expectations are in check. Still expecting 9.2TF, but a fast loading and cheaper machine than their rival's. Might as well get this over with, Sony.

Finally some real news. I am looking forward to the new information.

Agree. Its all gonna come down to what exclusive games (not MS) are you looking for and what games will appeal to the gamer. Power is good and all, but games are always going to the the factor.

Are you even trying?

I will bring the drinks. :)

Xbox has had the power advantage with the Xbox One X for a while. They also have a 4k player.

Lets pretend it had the power advantage at the start of the generation(2013) and not 4 years after the fact. You may want to revise your logic. :)

EDIT: Nice damage controlling to. ;)

HZD 2 trailer? That will work.

@Random_Matt: That would be great. :) But I feel it might be hardware specific showing. :(

That random poster at Neo Gaf ( Tommy Fischer)said it was 13.3 tflops. He was 100% correct on the XSX specs. I hope he is on the PS5 as well.

Lol, you can pretend Xbox is winning while you're at it too. Xbox had the power advantage in the previous two gens before that too.

will deep down finally be shown?

The future is now.

The PS4 launch as the most powerful console to be released. Please try again.

What I wrote was factual. Xbox One X has been the hardware leader since Nov 2017. The original Xbox and the Xbox 360 were hardware leaders for their respective gens.

Finally Sony decides to show something after the only thing we saw was a logo previously...lmao.

We are anticipating a console launch. The most powerful console at launch last gen was the PS4 not the Xbox One and not the Xbox One X. The PS4 won this gen. Please, feel free to correct the areas that are factually wrong.

Thank you for subscribing to one of my scenarios. :)

Sony's clearly waiting for MS to show their hand first just in case and adjusting after that. That's why we haven't seen the PS5 till now and why we won't get a price until after MS announces theirs. That's either a strategic business move, or they don't have much confidence in their system being able to beat MS'.

I actually want to add to that. The PS4 and Switch have been outselling the Xbox One X. I also wonder if the base PS4 has been outselling the Pro as well

It'll be <12 TFLOPS but, I expect to see a fair amount of APU customization for things like Ray Tracing and VR.

The most powerful console at launch has dominated this gen. Any questions?

Well atleast try and put these things in context..

The original Xbox released as an initial effort to break into a market that was already under a stranglehold by the Playstation and Nintendo brands.. heck, even Sega was still a factor around that time.. The Xbox console had virtually non-existent 3rd party support compared to the PS2.. hardware power was the only reason the console remained remotely relevant..

The Xbox 360 launched as the hardware leader and guess what?.. they ended up the market leader in the US and positioned themselves as a worldwide contender.. Yes, Sony completely bungled the PS3 launch (much like how Microsoft bungled the Xbox One launch), but clearly having the better performing console for multiplats, having a lower pricepoint, and tons of good PR did wonders for the 360 in comparison to the PS3..

And we all saw what happened when the roles were completely reversed this gen.. The PS4 was now the console with better performance in multiplats, had a lower pricepoint, and tons of good PR.. The Xbox One X taking back the hardware power crown was nothing but a band-aid to try and slow the bleeding in hopefully two of those areas: performance in multiplats and bad PR.. I think it's safe to say that those goals were achieved..

On-topic:

Tomorrow is going to be very interesting for the very reasons illustrated above.. but now there's a new factor to consider because this will be the 1st gen where the ecosystem you're already invested in will play a huge factor in your next purchase.. This was the absolute worst generation for Microsoft to lose so badly because due to persistent accounts, digital purchases, subscriptions, and 100% backwards compatibility, there will be tons of PS4 owners that buy a PS5 regardless of what the Xbox Series X brings to the table.. the Series X could be more powerful, the Series S could be cheaper, and both could have tons of 1st party content and it wouldn't matter because in the current "upgrade culture" we live in, the mass market consumer is likely going to just buy the next version console of what they already own.. and for over 100 million console gamers, that will be a PS5..

Time will tell but tomorrow is going to make that picture alot clearer..

There's no question that PS4 was more powerful than the original Xbox One. And there is no question that Xbox has not dominated any gen even with higher specs at launch.

The first part is true the second part is false. The Xbox One was NOT the highest spec system at launch. We are on preparing for the launch of new consoles and the last generation the most powerful console persevered.

This is a great point.

MS could flip the switch and not charge for online and only Ultimate and people would flock over to Xbox.

i would

This is something they need to do as far as I am concern. Paying for online in this day an age is stupid.
