RV1709 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 2 minutes ago, Joe Cool said: People are so out of touch with reality. USA is massive and brings in big chunk of sales. The event was supposed to be grand and first major event for PlayStation 5. Given the situation in USA with both Covid and Floyd protest, this is a terrible time to celebrate. On top of that, June 4 is memorial service for Floyd. But why should people outside USA care? Well, you don't have to if you don't want to. You are free to ignore but at same time, SONY doesn't have to cater it for you at the moment either. Losing your sale isn't same as getting major backlash from one of the major selling country. That would be a terrible marketing. Also, PlayStation 5 is still launching as scheduled and you still have to wait for it. Event or no event. +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rAgHaV Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Maybe they delayed it as the console is white in color. They'd need time to prepare a black version and then do this conference. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mohit9206 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Saw this comment on a forum and i agree with it , says "I mean I get why they are doing it. Not because Sony cares so much about this protest sh*t. But because the news will barely pick up PS5 because of it. So it's a marketing decision disguised as some moral choice."

Mysteryman Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 For us it’s easy to criticize Sony because we face no consequences, lawsuits and loss of trust if things go sideways. Yes it is both a marketing and moral choice. Sony was smart to pull out of PAX when COVID spread was at its beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomShade Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Chill my goys. They were just going to show games, not the console. Mostly they would be the multi plats we know about, with one 30 sec teaser about whatever exclusive is being made for ps5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny part is they announced the event 3 days ago when the riots had already started , such a smart move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be incredibly tone deaf to have PS5 showcase event on the same day in a country where 60% of your base lives. MS will probably postpone its 11th June event as well, they're just slow to respond to these kind of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how marketing works. This is good PR. Care or not, it will reflect as good cause in media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
