Ray tracing and 500 doesn't sound believable. AMD has no Ray tracing solution worth shit in the works.

That was just a prediction from a random user.  See RuthenicCookie 's replies below, he is the leaker.

Source is from the Reddit user who correctly predicted Sony not appearing in E3 2019.

Completely agree that the ESA forced their hand but they should be prepared. Get Layden on the phone with at least one press outlet to answer a few questions and clear up a few concerns. Appear on Twitter and respond to a couple of fans.

It’s really not hard, in this day and age, to get your message out to fans quickly and easily. They’re sloppy and really closed off at the moment and it needs to be better.

The thing is they were the trailblazers with this stuff. The Sony of 2013 would never have let this story break without some communication around it.

Hard to disagree with this. Has Sony even commented on this yet? 

Lol I wonder what is Sony's rationale behind this move.  They want to do their own conferences without the middleman? I get that.  But skipping E3 altogether and no off site event either seem too big a gamble. This could either be  a smart move to draw attention to their own events such as PSX or it could backfire giving all the spotlight to MS at E3.

“Would you rule out an N64 Classic coming?” I asked.

“I would not ever rule something out,” he said, “but what I can tell you is certainly that’s not in our planning horizon.”

Were anyone here looking forward to this?

Even if true, it doesn't make any sense for them to announce this now. Lmao.

Potential backward compatibility? I see nothing else that could be a sign of next gen service wise. Psnow game downloads are coming we know this.

PS Now already allows game downloads.

I don't think there's any particular order except for the DualShock 4 controllers. Regardless, the graphic is wrong about the rarest model. There are 50,000 500 Million Edition PS4s and only 12,000 20th Anniversary Edition PS4s.

We don't know what metric they are using. Could just be that they are more wanted or harder to find.

How is the 500 million edition the rarest PS4 model when the 20th Anniversary edition exists?

2 CODs outselling GTA V is more surprising to me considering the sales monster GTA V is.

I'd bet on Switch, but you have to remember, there's a $200 Spiderman PS4 bundle.  I don't know if supplies are limited on that, but historically, $200 is the sweet-spot where consoles sales spread like a fuckin' California wildfire.  

$200 Spiderman PS4 bundle is only in November.

BLOPS 4 Bundle.  

Obviously not this.  This is certainly not any big news that should spark interesting discussions about next gen.

Sony buying MS and then closing it 

Phil Spencer revealed as the double agent 

Apparently it's Playstation related 

"Should spark some interesting discussions" so it could be something controversial.

Even sales are biased against Xbox 

The native 4K  got all the X fans declaring their love and support for Rockstar.  And many neutrals to opt for the X instead of the Pro version. Honestly thought it would do better.

According to sales insider Benji on Resetera. Surprising since Xbox One LTD sales is not far behind PS4 in NA. Thought it would be closer in NA at least. I guess PS fans are bigger Rockstar fans given their legacy on PS platforms. Even when 360 was dominating, the PS3 version of GTA V sold close to the 360 version if I didn’t remember wrongly.

Only have S

Is this upgraded on the S as well? Or only on the X?

Be honest, having your last gen games playable and upgraded on current gen machine is pretty dope.  PS5 MUST have backwards compatibility, at least with PS4 games.

It's hard to say who's going to take November and December. Switch has Pokemon this month and Smash next month. The Spider-man PS4 bundle is crazy though @ $199.99. It's going to be close or won't be. Who knows.

 

If PlayStation 4 manages to win both months that's pretty stupid good for it's 5th year.

There's no way Switch is not winning December. Nintendo usually sell a lot in December and with Smash and Pokemon this year, it has a decent shot at 3 million in December alone.

Surprising given how the VR didn't took off as expected. Is the PC VR market large enough to support Rift, Vive and this? 

So revenue for the entire streaming market is less than 300 million? 

I suffer from the same problem. Too many games, too little time.  It's not easy to commit so much time into a game these days. And when I finally managed  to immerse myself in a huge game like Witcher 3 or RDR2, reality called and you get back to work or some other life commitment. And it's not easy to get yourself back into the game again. I can't play a game like RDR2 for an hour a day after work like some do.  I just can't get into it like that.

No, unless it's the upcoming Vesperia remaster.

 

All other games in the series is a dumpster fire. 

What’s different in Vesperia from the others?

You may want to note that Symphonia's battle system is kinda outdated though. You fight on a 2D plane like the old tales games.
