Get your wallets ready, folks.

Oh I know it's only a placeholder. But listings like this always make online discussions spicy.

P.S. - Keep in mind that the CPU inside the PS4 was considered underwhelming when it launched. So I'm excited to see the 10+ year-old tech inside the PS4 finally being replaced and upgraded with the launch of PS5.
@Dezzy - I assume we won't get a price today. That'll saved for a different event down the road or won't be known until global preorders officially open in September or October.

good news: it has games other than CINEMATICS!!111!!! and GUNS!11!!!111! The fact that more than one game reminded me of Zelda is as objectively a good thing as things get.
bad news: the console's look lmao what, future tech made as a joke in a tv show for what consoles will look like in the year 2200. ok sony
Horizon 2 was the only thing that was like "Wowwww, the future is here".
But Demon's Souls I'm most happy about. The only game in the series I haven't played to death (or at all). Pretty much guarantees I'll get a PS5 at some point anyway. Probably still not at launch though.
Honestly though, I think Xbox could easily win the launch lineup competition. If they launch with Halo Infinite and Fable 4, I think that could look more appealing than the Sony lineup.
Good presentation, fun to watch. Console design was pretty. For me, i didnt see any new games that looked fun to play. I just saw gameplay that i wished was a movie or i want to watch others play. Alot of pretty graphics etc, but looks dull to play. So far i see myself playing nintendo games in 2021, and maybe buying a switch pro if that pops up.
Horizon Zero Dawn & Spiderman (Miles) looked great, although not much gameplay shown and a few of the smaller games were interesting like Stray and Little Devil Inside. Ratchet and Clank looked good and Deathloop but apart from that there wasn't too much else i'm particularly interested in and I'm not sure about the console design although the digital edition looked nicer without the bulge of the drive
Spiderman: Miles Morales actually has me considering getting the system. HZD2 (in like 3 years), R&C, Project Athia (in ~5 years given SE's track record), Demon's Souls (2022 perhaps), and Kena (is this an exclusive), Stray (also questionably an exclusive),
Hitman III, Ghostwire: Tokyo, Deathloop, Little Devil Inside and Oddworld looked good too, albeit as non-exclusives.
I was a lot more hyped before I looked back and realized most of these games aren't coming for years. Only two exclusives for the first two years of the system's life as of now. Guess I'll hold off on getting a PS5 for the foreseeable future, even if I'm super hyped for Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
HZD2 looks awesome. Can't wait to see more. R&C was also an impressive showcase. I can see myself getting R&C and GT7 at launch. And it comes with a free Astrobot game, so that's great. That surely means Astrobot 2 is in development as well.
I was also glad that Little Devil Inside made an appearance. I've been awaiting that game for ages.
Anything shown that a PS4 couldn't run? I'll admit up front I'm a bit jaded and see this as unnecessary. If you're excited, great! Don't let this grumpy old man get you down. I just haven't seen anything that screams unable to run on the PS4.
