Sony’s big PS5 announcement turned out to be a boring affair for the hundreds of thousands of fans who flocked to YouTube in hope of seeing the console for the first time.
The PlayStation 5 announcements seemed to target developers more than gamers who are looking to buy the console, as Sony didn’t reveal anything juicy about the device.
The PS5 specs will match the Xbox Series X for the most part, and the tech Sony developed for the console is fascinating, if you’re into that. Otherwise, you’re back to waiting for an actual PS5 reveal and there’s no telling when that might happen.

Sony’s event on Wednesday was even more annoying than that, as the entire PS5 presentation felt like an internal presentation for game developers. That’s because it was the GDC keynote Sony had planned but never got the chance to host because the coronavirus pandemic caused the event to be canceled.

Sony fans in the audience did not expect that, however. If you followed the pre-recorded event live of YouTube, you’ve probably noticed that more than 600,000 fans sat through it. You’ve probably seen the comments section too, rolling up in real-time and asking for Sony to actually reveal PS5 details that matter to gamers. And you’ve probably noticed the massive amount of hate the clip got — the video had over 25,000 dislikes when Cerny finished the keynote, and that number went up to 55,000 as of the time of this writing.
