Wouldn't be surprised if they cancelled it suddenly.

@Eldritch Uhm...you just compared the US(One country) to Europe( a whole continent). I'm pretty sure that's not how it's compared. Also, Europe is a larger continent than North America, so of course it has more sales overall. However, the US alone, has the largest market individually. Hence why the event was cancelled. Not trying to say Europe isn't important(because it is), but it's just a fact that the U.S. alone, has a lot of impact around the world.

@Cartmanbruh Europe isn't that much bigger than North America and don't see why it matters either way as both are pretty much on par with sales. I will say Sony dominates Europe by a lot over Microsoft, so I doubt they'll forget about it. Lol. How they incorporate that into one blog is anyone's guess. I'd imagine they figured out a solution otherwise, they wouldn't have merged them together in the first place.

@Cartmanbruh Why would they?

@Ken_Kaniff Your expectations seem rather high so it's no wonder you're usually negative. Keep them low, and you might just be ecstatic.

@Chryssy75 I'd imagine they are hearing all the complaints. Problem is that gamers expect them to just wave a magic wand and everything magically appears. That's just not how it works. Maybe they'll get what they want, maybe they don't. It all depends on what is possible with the hardware they have to work with.

@Ptpete I'm sure we'd all love to have everything, but unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world. I'm content with PS4 b/c, as that's really as far as I'll go with b/c in general. I think that PS Now will eventually evolve and become a bigger service that offers PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 games in the future. With any luck, at a fair price.

@Truth_Stalker If you can't handle opinions(which yours means about as little as the space between your ears), then perhaps you should look over the ones that bother you and converse with those who agree with you. Simple, right? Otherwise, expect that not everyone is going to be in agreement. I comprehend just fine what people are trying to say, I just don't agree with them. If that gives you disdain, then many people must live rent free in your head I guess. It's the internet. I'd grow a thick skin.

@Chryssy75 Sony can do a lot of things, but they aren't required to nor really have to to be honest. They are moving in their own direction. I know that may bother those small number of gamers that don't like it, but they do have options elsewhere. I'm buying a PS5 day one as well, and I'll be using it for new experiences. But hey, maybe they'll give everyone b/c with ps3, ps2 and ps1 when they feel it makes sense.

@Shepard93n7 I'd imagine that even most Xbox gamers who are looking forward to Series X, are buying it for new experiences, and not last gen ones. It's simply the vocal minority that see to make it appear as if everyone wants it.

@FKUBT I think the funniest thing here is people like yourself think it's a loss when no one really even uses it. It's no different than a kid getting a toy from his parents. He/she will play with it for a bit, then said toy sits in a closet collecting dust for months or even years. That's b/c in a nutshell. You may see it as downplaying it and that's your opinion, but the real fact of the matter is it's not a huge feature that everyone buys a new console for. They buy it for new games. Have a good one.

@NeilBreen Remasters are only a small number of games vs. thousands of others that haven't been. Remasters are games that are usually classics, not at random. Was a nice try, though.

@Jarobusa The only thing that will matter to me when PS5 and Series X release, is new experiences. What you mentioned will probably be enticing to the very small number of gamers who will use b/c. However, I'm not one of them. Also, trying to talk up a console that really only has one selling point(which doesn't say much) isn't really helping.

@BleedingDreamer Maybe, but they aren't anytime soon.

@BleedingDreamer PS Now is a business, so of course you have to pay for it. They're not going to let you use it for free.

@MarcG420 The internet always freaks out over everything. Especially when it's been confirmed that most PS4 games will be playable.

@Freakdahouse Lol, no. There really isn't a lot of money made into it. Most of those who will use b/c (very small in number), already have their games and will buy any games they don't have , second hand instead of new. So yes, b/c isn't all that important to most who buy new hardware.

@djlard The answer is obvious. Buy a new one, or keep complaining. The latter is counter-productive and the former is rather a cheap purchase. However, your PS2 runs, so?....

@themcnoisy If you want to play your old games, then play them on the hardware they were intended for. Be happy you'll have PS4. I'm willing to bet, that you won't even use it much once PS5's library has more than enough new releases to keep you busy.

@GoblinKing86 Spot on. I don't know why people think this is some type of win. The majority of those who buy a new console, buy it for the new experiences. I mean it is a nice feature, but even I wouldn't use it that often with all the new releases taking up my game time.

@JohnKarnes Yep. Not sure where people think they are expensive.

@TowaHerschel7 If they can afford to buy an expensive console at launch, they can certainly afford to buy a legacy console that doesn't even remotely cost the same amount. Poor excuse from where I sit. Smdh indeed.

@Tharsman So if you don't get what you want, you're done with Sony? Oh brother...Lol.

@AdamNovice Yep. I sure don't. I want new games, and I'm sure the majority will have the same sentiments. B/C is just an added bonus, and not a requirement. If you want to play your older games so bad, just hold on to your old hardware. Still have my ps3 and 360 hooked up.

@RBMango It could be because the average gamer who buys a new console, isn't buying it for B/C. Only one's who really care about that feature, are the diehards/hardcore. It's not going to hurt their bottom line. Sure, it'd be nice if they did b/c all the way to PS1, but it's not necessary. They may very well absorb PS Now and PS Plus into one price. I wouldn't be surprised if they add a ton of PS1 and PS2 games to the service over time.

@WallyWest Highly doubt Sony is worried one bit. Only thing that matters to most gamers, is the games. Sony has a strong 1st party output, and third party is quite adequate on top of that. Not sure why everyone acts like it's the end of Sony, or Sony should be shaking in fear. Lol.

@AJDarkstar Fair point. Though I think it's unrealistic that all our devices will be 100% stable. Technology is great, but certainly not perfect. I feel ya. The jokes do get corny and over done. I mean they do that a lot at the end of articles with some type of joke. Hit and miss imo.

@AJDarkstar Well, they need their clicks. Nothing is a surprise.

Can we just wait for an actual confirmation from Sony, instead of reporting on rumors from "in the know" journalists? Even if their reps are good, it doesn't mean they know it's going to happen for sure. Otherwise, what is really the point in making a new article about it each time? I get it, you need the clicks, but good lord.

@LightingThor Hopefully it's true. I think most of us have waited long enough personally.

@mikeym It's not mentioned because that's what they are aiming for, or well...what most tech developers aim for really.

@Rob_230 Why do you think that?

@piggyhero Because I feel that everyone regardless of region should be able to help test the game? Sorry, but that's not entitlement. Where I'm from, that's equal opportunity. I also never went out and demanded it, so don't put words in my mouth. Don't take opinions so personal. It's quite counter-productive. Bye now.

@themcnoisy I'd say it's always best to get everyone in each region rather than just their home base, but I digress.

@Ken_Kaniff Being a smart ass is in my nature in part, though not sure why you think that means I'm not cheery. I'm just keen in pointing out obvious over compensated comments.

@JON22 It's not a matter of who gets what. Lol. It should be the same for everyone regardless. I'm just not a supporter of that practice. I feel everyone should get a chance. Even certain pre-order editions for games somewhat annoy me when they're different in every region.

@Ken_Kaniff An actual positive comment? Or just insecure over an opinion? Hmm...tough call. Lol.

@Ken_Kaniff Sure, sure.

Europeans only? Well...that's rude.

@Menchi Sorry, but you fail to understand the reasoning that people are annoyed with Google. It's the simple fact that they buy out exclusive deals to make up for the lack of 1st party offerings that actually makes a console more appealing. No one is really bothered about the exclusive practice in general, because that's just simply business. Blame the developing studios for taking the money, as they are the reason for the practice in part. All in all, the practice exists for fair enough reasons, but it puts Google in a bad light when they are simply buying out timed deals instead of developing their own games for their own platform. Never a good thing to appear lazy to the consumers.

@Ken_Kaniff Are you always this negative? Cheer up.

@AFCC Ahh. That explains it. Well your English seems pretty good for just being your second language.

@AFCC @AFCC Not sure what you mean by "you guys," but already then. Lol. Sounds like generalizing to me.

@AFCC I'd imagine because most who will play it are English speakers. Plus having to look at subtitles just to know what is being said in Japanese can take your eyes away from what's going on onscreen. I'll probably play it with Japanese voice overs, with black and white the second time around.

@Col_McCafferty Some people just love making themselves feel superior over others.

@Skoda "would you really pay 60 dollars for it? this game is likely to become greatest hits. 20 dollars is fine i guess. "

Everyone has their opinion on what they feel is worth their money.

"personally, i dont see the appeal even if someone gave it to me for free. main reasons being, i dont get modern games. so much to explore and repetitive battles and leveling up and it can take you 100 hours to get anywhere. "

Personally, I don't see why you're here if you don't get modern games, but I digress. Also, you don't have to spend all day and night playing games. Even RPG's can be played in bits if you prefer not to play more than a half hour at a time. Sounds like an excuse to me.

" i like my games old school. you go fight people, shoot or jump around for 30 mins then go and do other things for yourself and others."

Then go play those instead and leave others to play their "modern" games.

"life is too short to spend on leveling up in fantasy worlds haha"

Yet, here you are typing up pretentious comments about it, wasting your time. I'm 38 and loved every era of gaming, and I honestly don't see how it would be so complicated. You either been out of the loop for a long time, or just prefer to be stuck in the past. Either way, let people decide how they spend their time and you worry about you. Sounds pretty simple.

@Number09 They do, but still not likely.

@Mikey1 Some people are very spoiled.

@stefan771 I'm aware of that, but it's not likely to happen. I'm going by what we know than what may happen.

@Shepherd_Tallon If they were to do that, it'd certainly be after. Though I doubt it. They'll probably have their own event maybe a few weeks after.
