Playstation The Official Playstation 5 Thread

It is frontloaded, when halfway of its supposed 7 year run (before ps6 in 2027?), the sales are already slowing down. The sales for 2020/21 wouldhave been a lot higher if they didn't run out of stock. The demand for the ps5 isn't just the same as it was before. Last year, ps5 sales didn't match and exceed Sony's target. Aside from GTA VI, are there any big games coming out for the PS5 in 2025 and 2026? Ghost of Yotei, okay. Wolverine? Who knows when would that arrive. Last of Us Part III, Intergalactic, God of War Egypt, Horizon III, Spider-Man 3 - unlikely to arrive in 2 years.

Ps4 iirc, was more of a slowburn in the first two to three years and sales really picked up once more big games came out from 2016 to 2020. Not sure how this is good for the long term of the PS5. Late 2027 is less than two years from now, if Ps6 follows the same time frame. Also new games for the Ps4 is still being released in 2025.
 
Pointless to include the future unless one is clairvoyant. My comment is about the statistics we have this far and the first two years were the worst.

I don't have a personal stake in the sales either way. I expected the PS5 to be behind the PS4 pretty much consistently since it's more expensive (the Pro much more so), had production issues, and there's been fewer big exclusive titles. They don't differ much this far though (image not up to date as seen in the current numbers).

PS will benefit significantly from reduced competition regardless of any other factors against it.
 
PSN is working on my phone app now.

Store is not working though I’m logged in.

Seeing reports multiplayer is hit and miss depending on where in the world you are.

Lots of talk about some kind of DDOS attack but it's all speculation, albeit with some credibility given it happened to Microsoft back in December.
 
Last night, suddenly got two charges on the card connected to my PSN account totaling about $140. Don't know if that's just a coincidence or if this outage involved some data theft as has happened in the past, but figured I'd bring it up in the off chance to let anyone to check their cards since that never hurts.
 
Just give me some Wolverine and God of War news along with Ghosts and I will be happy 😃


Don’t know if Death Stranding 2 will show up since they just announced it’s own event in March maybe just a trailer
 
15 minutes. I'm really, really hoping for a Resident Evil announcement tonight.
 
Capcom kicking this off with Monster Hunter does not bode well for my aspirations :dry:
