How Sony SHOULD Have Revealed The PS5
Actually seeing it would be a start.
Call me crazy, but I kinda think Sony are dropping the ball on the reveal of the PS5 right now.
We're talking about a system and company that should've nailed one of the easiest open goals in gaming history. Sony even mentioning the PS5 in any capacity practically comes with a giant flashing neon sign for attention.
Their main opposition, Microsoft, have literally spent the entire generation playing catchup, losing massively on the exclusivity front, and only recouping any goodwill through services like Game Pass and increased backwards compatibility.
If we're talking generational performance, then Sony too had very little to show for their first two years on the market. Knack, The Order: 1886 and Infamous: Second Son were serviceable enough, but it was 2015 that gave us Bloodborne and Until Dawn, with 2016's Uncharted 4, 2017's Horizon, 2018's God of War and 2019's Death Stranding knocking it out the park.
This staggered approach to embracing genuinely phenomenal first-party studios and IPs is easily the best thing about the PS4 overall, and it's created a momentum that stands in stark opposition to where the company are at with console updates.
To put it bluntly: It is 2020. The PS5 is dropping in just over half a year, and we haven't even seen it yet.
What we have seen, is one of the weirdest rollouts of new technology in quite some time.
