Hmmm...ok...
Sony can not afford to charge so much that it gives the new generation to Microsoft. Color me somewhat concerned at this point. But I, like all of us, hope for the best.
@AFCC That is exactly what I was thinking. I think Sony is letting Microsoft take the upper hand in this next generation unless they mirror the XBox approach to free upgrades to PS5 version (not just compatibility) when purchasing late stage PS4 games.
Sony will also have to think of something to announce that will also deal with the XBox game pass solution to keep the arms race level going forward.
Does anyone have a theory as to is Sony will follow suit with Microsoft and provide a path to upgrade PS4 titles to their PS5 version? Microsoft has made a big deal out of updating purchased products from XboxS to XboxX. Does Sony follow suit....?
Love to see them release "Dreams" as a pack-in for the PS5 similar to the way that Nintendo released "Sports" for the Wii. Few things would happen there. First, they get the product in a lot more hands day one. Two, many people that never saw it would become fanatics for it and either as surfers or dream creators. Last, it would give Sony access to some hidden talent that could contribute to their pool of developers for the indie space. Just a thought.
Hard to believe the ESA is owned by the big software companies and the ESRB is an off shoot of the ESA. Right?
These guys are trying to cover the fact that "loot boxes" are included in some of their biggest products and they DON'T want to walk that back.
I agree with Nightcrawler71 when he/she says it does not go far enough.
Example: the FIFA series is marked "E" for everyone and yet it is more of a casino than EA will admit. A casino that is available to a 9 year old that has their parents credit card number. Same is true for Battlefield, Madden, NBA2K, etc.
Just say, "Includes loot boxes" and tell it like it is.
The ESRB is not going to fully communicate what is going on as long as it's master is holding the reigns.
Time split between Elder Scrolls Online and MLB the Show 19. Yep, love me some MLB but I just don't see enough reason to buy this year's version over the last. ESO is still my favorite game of the last year. I've met so many great folks online while playing it. Stay safe everyone....
I guess the big question for me is if they have implemented additional ways to navigate the interface. Trying to move around the screen by pointing and moving the dual-shock was frustrating at best.
Children of Morta is fantastic! Great to see the developers are still interested in supporting it. When the paid DLC comes out, I will get it to continue supporting them.
I'm curious if the PS4 controller will work with the PS5. I've got 4 of those bad boys and I would hate to have to get all new controllers when I get a PS5.
I am kinda wondering when "Dreams" in coming out of beta. Was really excited when I first got it, but now it seems like we are seeing a lot of the same type of stuff. The UI still needs a complete overhaul to relieve some of the jank. Please MM do this thing right.

Re: Newly Announced Back Button Attachment Turns Your DualShock 4 Into a PS4 Pro Controller
"The gadget connects to your PS4 controller via the headphone jack"
Aaaaa, how can you use wired headphones if the jack is occupied?
For me, that is a deal killer.
