It’s pretty obvious to me. They don’t want to be compared negatively to Xbox. From backwards compatibility to the units size. To how loud it is. They know that their design is a failure in comparison.
I bet when these release they won’t even have visible consoles running demos. The console will be hidden so the consumer can’t see how huge it really is
This format is such a fail of a hands on reveal. Its an entirely controlled format on catered to the Japanese audience and I bet they’re only showing the games and not the full UI.
In contrast, Xbox sent the Series X to every YouTube reviewer and let them go at it on their own.
Sony had great marketing last gen, but this year, Xbox owns the narrative.
At this point and the direction this is going I won’t be surprised if no direct shot of the console is shown. Looks like they are embarrassed with their design. I don’t remember MS being that shady with the Xbox One
Yep looks like Sony definitely want to lessen the time that the two consoles are put head to head before launch. As it gives people time to maybe reconsider their pre orders.
Yeah, Sony won’t send this thing to Digital Foundry any time soon… I hope I’m wrong though. I hope it is just the rush of launch and some things are not quite ready yet. But it is messy, there is no denying that.
