According to comments from Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, it seems as if Sony is gearing up to host a proper PlayStation 5 reveal event in July. A few months back, the company held a “reveal” stream that managed to somehow not show off the design of the console. Instead, lead architect Mark Cerny spoke about the technical specifications of the device for an hour and put nearly everyone on the planet to sleep.
On the most recent episode of the “Press Start Podcast,” Schreier stated, “As of right now, as far as I know, Sony is still on track to do at least one thing by early or mid-June.” He stressed that the ongoing coronavirus situation could push those plans back, but everything seems on track at the moment.
It’s been incredibly strange to see Microsoft being so open about the Xbox Series X while Sony remains mysterious with its new console. You’d think that Sony would want gamers to know what they’ll be getting, yet we’re possibly six months from launch with not even an idea of how the PS5 looks.
In all honesty, this feels like a repeat of the situation with the PlayStation 3’s launch. Sony had the most successful console of all-time with the PS2 and mistakenly assumed that gamers would blindly accept a $600 console. It would be a shame for the company to do the same with the PS5, but history does tend to repeat itself.
