Sony confirmed they won’t be appearing.
It’s nothing to do with crunch. It’s more to do with disagreements with the people who run E3. There’s possible chance they could have their own event around the same time. Technically Ms aren’t at E3 as it’s their own event. Same with EA.

February 5th is the reveal date apparently.
Where does it say that?
4chan leak which I'd take with a pinch of salt as the "secret" information doesn't read as anything particularly noteworthy, especially as it says in the leak that Sony will return to E3 which has already been debunked.
£449 could be the price apparently.
It's reasonable. €500 should be max.
List of rumours here regarding some of the details of the PS5. God knows how true these are
- PS5 reveal event set for 5th February 2020
- PS5 release date is in October 2020
- PS5 price is $499/£449, only one model
- PS5 launch games include: Gran Turismo 7, MLB The Show 21, Demon's Souls Remastered, Godfall, Legendz (new IP from Sony Santa Monica Studio)
- Games teased at PS5 reveal: Horizon: Zero Dawn sequel, Marvel's Spider-Man sequel, new sci-fi IP from Naughty Dog, new IP from SIE Japan, new IP from London Studio, Final Fantasy XVI, new Resident Evil
- PS5 specs "almost on par" with Xbox Series X, leak claims Series X is more expensive, PS5 more powerful than cheaper Xbox "Lockhart"
- PS5 slogan is "It's time to play"
450?!
I've linked it in #487. As the person said Sony would be returning to E3 - a week before it was confirmed that Sony weren't going to be at E3 - I'd take the rest of it with a pinch of salt.
If it's £450, then should really make (have made) the PS4 Pro the entry version of the console.
I.e. "Plays only on the PS5 and PS4 Pro."
PS4 Pro is under £350 which is about right for a new console at launch.
But we all know they aren't doing that.

Considering the tech spec, £450 is a bargain. The price of a mid range gfx card for an entire dedicated gaming system.
Ah right. Sorry, i didn't see that.
Yeah, i think the February reveal is correct and the release date. But the rest i'll remain skeptical on. I'd be very happy with that price though.
Yeah i'd be very happy with that. £100 more than the PS4 at launch which i think is reasonable considering, as you said, the specs on the thing. I don't think they can afford to have to too much more than that, tbh.
Delicate balance between specs and price point.
Can't see it being €450. I'm guessing €500 minimum.
Aren’t most consoles sold at a loss in their early life cycles? Even at an expensive price the PS3 was losing a feck load of money on each console sold.
Would have no issues paying £450 for something that will last me 5/6/7 years before the next generation.
The PS3 did but they had another motive there in that they wanted to get a Blu-Ray player in as many houses as possible so it would beat HD-DVD to become the next generation optical disc - which very much worked.
They’re going to want to find a balance on this one between selling units and making money on game licences and making money back directly from the units. I think they will run at a small loss to begin with and eventually make a profit when the technology becomes cheaper.
HDDVD WAS SHITE
Curious to see the size of the SSD's. The hard drives on the PS4 are nowhere near big enough. Constantly deleting games just to update others. Pain in the arse.
I'd be shocked if they're any bigger than 1tb
That's what i'm thinking considering they have to keep the price down, but that simply isn't big enough. The games on the current gen are massive, i hate to think how big they're going to be on next gen. Be constantly deleting games just to update others.
Although i hear that they're introducing a feature that will allow you do install only part of the game. For example, a COD game will allow you to install only the multiplayer and leave the single player out to save space. We'll see.
Godfall looks like it could be an excellent game. Leaked trailer.
The PS3 had some really interesting fans..

New horizon, new Spiderman and a new naughty dog game?
Depending on release dates this might be a day one purchase for me.

A Naughty Dog sci-fi piques my interest, but I’ve been burned on being an early adopter to the point of paranoia.
Any word on whether it will track trophy progress?
My source still says February 5th.
Interesting...
What does your source say now?
February 5th, they just didn't say what year.
February 30th.
ITK
With a massive markup like all tech though. And they'll be buying in huge bulk.
Have they said/hinted at anything about backwards compatibility, e.g, will I be able to download my digital games collection on to a PS5 from my PS4? That would be very cool.
I’m pretty sure that they have already said that it will be backwards compatible mate.
That'd be great
This. While high end gaming PC's have some advantages over consoles, they are also bloody expensive.
With Sony pulling out of PAX and GDC due to corona virus it probably means this won’t be unveiled for some time.
Pity they won’t just show it on the internet or make a separate conference in a different city.
