Sony Preemptively Announces PlayStation 6 Shortage​


NEW YORK — A Sony press release announced today that gamers and scalpers alike should prepare for a PlayStation 6 shortage, whenever the console ends up launching.

“We want our gamers to get ready for multiple generations of console launches fueled by excitement and hope followed by extreme disappointment, bargaining, and anger. Really a trip through all five stages of grief is optimum,” wrote Sony CEO Jim Ryan. “The latest evolution in console shortages and launch delays has revolutionized our ability to make extreme profits — if we can go ahead and start building that buzz for the PlayStation 6, this virtuous cycle will remain unbroken. We’re talking games-as-a-service here. And what better service can we provide than consistency? Specifically, consistency in an inability to access them at all.”

The entire Sony boardroom was reportedly excited at the new direction.

“You look to Sony as an innovator in gaming and tech in general. This constant bang and bust cycle of hopes and dreams is exactly what we need to do to keep our consumers on their toes and hitting F5 on the GameStop site before giving up and reluctantly perusing Facebook Marketplace scalpers,” said Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki. “The way the combination of ongoing chip shortages and logistics confusion are forecast to keep affecting PlayStation 5 production, it’s only reasonable to assume we can expect the same for the PlayStation 6. It’s simply for the best that consumers adjust their expectations early.”

Although the announcement has been met with adverse reactions from most, console resellers have expressed only positive responses.

“Knowing that my business model of stealing products from normal people and selling them back with huge markups is secured for an additional console generation has been such a relief,” said self-described “entrepreneur” Chazz Roddenburgle between ingesting fisfuls of lard from a Crisco container. “Really the only thing that can stop me now is if gamers somehow develop any sort of patience or faith in delayed gratification.”

At press time, Sony was gearing up to announce delays in PS5 restocks for the umpteenth time this year.

Reads like a bad Late April fools joke.

Playstation 6 - Mark Cerny IS BACK As PS6 Dev Starts According to the latest rumours, Mark Cerny is BACK as lead as Playstation 6 development has BEGUN. This comes from a recent leak, but we examine what our sources have to say about the PS6 development, Mark Cerny, and any other info we have on the Playstation 6 next gen console. But the real question is, would Sony already be working on the hardware and architecture for the PS6 console? We also examine Mark Cerny's past accomplishments at Sony, and their development cycle for the PS4, PS4 Pro and PS5 to discover if it makes sense for the PS6 development cycle to be under way. But if it is, just what kind of improvements can we expect to not only gaming performance, but key technologies such as ray tracing?

My guess is there’s no ps5 pro in development…. Even though it’s been stated that they started work on the next gen right after its release
 




Rumored hardware already reported by him:
- New PS5 with detachable disc drive
- PS5 Pro
- PlayStation Earbuds
- New line of PlayStation headsets
 
What would honestly be the point of a PS5 Pro that would be worth developing for the masses, to the niche here yea 120fps and NATIVE 4K and all that but the difference between now and back when the PS4 Pro and One X came out is that the original consoles came out in a time when 4K TVs weren't widespread, when they were widespread, they developed the Pro consoles to meet that 4K demand. The PS5 and Series X have 4K support. What could Sony put on the box that differentiates the standard PS5 from the Pro that appeals to the masses?

I highly doubt we see a pro console anytime soon or at all this gen. What is more likely is the detachable disc drive PS5.

The Pro and One X have native 4K support too.

The XSS doesn't even have many 4k native games and that's selling better than the XSX.

I suspect there will still be a market for those who want the best and newest shiny tech just like
there is a market for annual iPhone and Android phone upgrades.

They could show off Wolverine , KOTOR remake at native 4k/60 fps with all the bells and whistles on and there will already be interested consumers I am guessing.

Yes I know that the One X and Pro have native 4K support, I own them both. I'm saying that those had a box to check off vs the One and PS4. I'm not saying there won't be a market for a Pro console, the niche will want one, like us here on this site, but for the masses I just dont see them seeing well as the PS5 and Xbox Series X already support 4K, 120fps, etc, etc. What mainstream box will a Pro console check that's the average person will say "I need that"

Put a Pro at the end of anything and people will want to get it. See the iPhone pros, MacBook pros lol.

I guess what I'm saying is there doesn't necessarily have to be that killer feature as it should all be about the games anyways.
