Baseless Next Generation Rumors with no Technical Merits [post E3 2019, pre GDC 2020] [XBSX, PS5]

[N2O]

Not even era people care Tidux's tweet.
Though i'm not saying Feb 5 is fake, because that date actually make sense(also Zhuge hinted that earlier today at least), but trusting 4chan's "leak" will lead you to disappoint for sure, i mean that "leak" saying $499=449euro and "more discuss at E3" is ugh.

 

[disco_]

It might have been a wordplay, where it really means fortnight, meaning 2 weeks. OsirisBlack wrote the same thing IIRC.
2 weeks after January 22 is.. again, February 5.

Today, known leaker Tidux (who's been leaking new features on PS4 firmware updates for years, always on point) posted this:

13 days after today is February 5.


Also, Sony Square NYC's 25 years of play celebration ends February 5:

February 5 was first mentioned in the 4chan leak, IIRC.
The same leak who claimed the announcement event would be on NYC Sony Hall.

Tidux isn't reliable, IIRC.

Why disappoint? $499 = a big competitive PS5. If you want cheap, stay on your PS4.

I don't understand why people keep bring Remedy acquired by X rumor, i mean, Remedy is a public company, if someone want to acquire them, we would already know.

An image resurfaced of when Control went gold and there was a note that said “Thanks for all the help” addressed to Guerilla Games. That certainly stoked the flames.

The problem isn't $499(or whatever price you want), it's saying it will be 50 lower in europe.

You asked a question. I answered it.

This doesn't implying anything at all.

Aah.......Ok.

Besides i seriously doubt they will announce the price this early, even they won't show up in E3 this time.

Euro is 10% stronger than dollar, so who made that prediction simply looked at the conversion reate

Edit You beat me by just a moment, but I will return! Faster! And ninjaer!

 

[AlNom]

Not terrible since that should include VAT whereas USD pricing doesn't ?

 

[Xbat]

I think what his saying is for some inexplicable reason usually the Euro price and dollar price is the same.

Did you two ever bought europe version of game console? serious question.
PS4 Pro and Xbox One X sold for 399 and 499 euro, did you know?

 

[arhra]

That's what makes it unbelievable.

The EU VAT-inclusive price isn't ever going to be a direct conversion of the US pre-sales-tax price, unless the prices are set just before a dramatic shift in exchange rates (and in that case, it won't last long before being "corrected").

 

[PSman1700]

Their CEO has already strongly hinted such and I welcome it with wide open arms if it means beefy specs.

Price of 499 doesn't have to imply >10TF of GPU in it.

nvm

Feb 5th has been mentionned in multiple predictions by journalists long before the 4chan "leak" (kindafunny and beyond I think were the first?). It was literally the most rational prediction: a wednesday and with enough room to breath before GDC.

They might not unveil ps5 there, it could be the 12th or 19th.

If Sony want the media to cover any PS5 reveal they either have to do the reveal somewhere the media already are, or have the give the media time to make arrangements. In 2013, the media has a little over three notice of the February event. Three weeks is really as short as you reasonably give. And by media I don't mean the gaming media, I mean coverage by big media - BBC, Reuters, morning/evening news shows around the world, The Times, the FT etc. I don't think new games consoles are really big news that media care about.

The only tech company who routinely gives the media less notice is Apple

Sony going for gold here.
In any event, it's quite possible as a few fanboys have suggested (on other forums), Sony doesn't need the media to be successful.

So yea, lets go! Announce it in fortnite woot! can't wait
toot toot feb 5
