PS5 News + Speculation

It's not cause it's Sony it's because it's PlayStation. People underestimate brand power something I been saying since last gen..

MS showed XSX in more ways than just a logo and it's views dwarfed xbo's showing but got destroyed in comparison to Sony showing a simple,ugly PlayStation 5 logo.

PlayStation is gaming's biggest brand.
I find it hilarious that people cream their jeans over the logo.
 
It will shrink provided the hardware is close and the exclusives see a marked improvment. BC and digital libraries are not important to the masses. Most gamers gamers don't even finish games, much less care about playing them again.

Digital sales and BC will be a big deal because you can't trade games in anymore if you've gone digital, in the past many people (me included) would just trade everything in towards the new console but if you've gone digital that's out the window and it will be something that keeps people from jumping ship because they feel more invested in the ecosystem. With Sony having so much success with their first party lineup over the past few years it's going to be hard to get people to say "Oh I'll just get rid of Horizon, God of war, Spider-Man, TLOU2 etc to go play Halo and Gears" and while I know you said they needed new exclusives it's hard to see that happening anytime soon when they've gone a whole gen without creating a new flagship series.

I'll say again, most people don't finish games .Trying to make out these people care about a digital library just doesn't work.Sure, the core community will be that way, but the general masses just aren't going to care.

You may be right about the exclusives. Right now it is hard to say what the new studios can do and when they mightcome .

Saying Xbox only has Gears and Halo is just as disingenuous as say PS only has Gran Turismo and Killzone.

If I could only buy one it would be the PS5 because of my PS4 library, friend list and PS Ecosystem.

Besides hardcore PS gamers I hear this from casuals who are worried about losing all of the above.
 
I hope he actually knows this and isn't just parroting what everyone is saying on message boards.
