PlayStation 5: the conference does not even convince Jason Schreier

As gamers from all over the world know, yesterday Sony held a panel entirely dedicated to the architecture of PlayStation 5, during which Mark Cerny revealed the full specifications of the new console. Unfortunately, many did not appreciate the conference held by the Japanese company, not so much because, data in hand, the new PS5 would be less powerful than Xbox Series X, as for the ways in which the new features have been revealed. Too many numbers, without ever enhancing the "true" power of PlayStation 5.

At the end of the lecture by Mark Cerny, too Jason Schreier, a distinguished journalist from Kotaku, has decided to express his regret over the ugly and "senseless" presentation given by Sony. We report below what the well-known journalist stated on his account Twitter:

It seems like a bad marketing move to release a spec sheet that looks significantly worse than that of your biggest competitor, especially if you intend to post an incomprehensible hour-long "lecture" video, rather than showing actual gameplay footage, demonstrating what makes your only console but hey ...

I shouldn't be saying this, but the PS5's SSD is a * huge deal * and could actually change the way games are designed. Meanwhile, gamers will look at the specs and compare them to Series X's, believing the Xbox to be superior - Sony's marketing couldn't have handled this worse.

I shouldn't have to be the one saying this, but the PS5's SSD is a * huge deal * and could actually change the way games are designed. Meanwhile, gamers will just look at the side-by-side specs and believe the Xbox is superior - Sony's marketing couldn't have handled this any worse
