Prepaying it in full along with an extra controller and at least game.

The president said:"We’re] starting out at a lower point in the first quarter, but building up over the next couple of quarters, and we still see tremendous excitement around our products. "

I wonder if those couple of quarters are referencing to a certain pre launch inventory that happens before every launch?

Helghast dude, can you tell me how the ps5 is please? Can it play ps1 ps2 ps3 and ps4 games?

Lol still remember picking up my ps4 at midnight and walking past the dumbass crowd standing in line who didn't preorder it.

I never buy them. Wife and brother usually plot to get me one for my birthday or Christmas and I appreciate it oh so much.

wait... secret sauce is a good thing now? I thought it was to be made fun of like PotC.

Thundercat771853d ago

When the secret sauce is actually something real, it's a good thing but when the secret sauce is a lie and a fantasy like Microsoft with "the power of the cloud", that is to be made fun.

Atticus_finch1853d ago

The way MS uses the term "secret sauce" has given poor Darth PTSD.

rainslacker1853d ago (Edited 1853d ago )

It is if it's actually delivered. Plus, this isn't Sony saying it's delivering the secret sauce, it's the CEO of AMD, using a colloquialism that was made popular because MS, or at least it's idiot social media task force, had so many secret sauces that all ended up tasting sour, or fermenting out in the shed where they seemed to forget they exist.

DarXyde1853d ago

Secret sauce is a good thing when it is materialized as advertised. I do believe cloud computing has potential (still not a fan of being always connected), but that is years down the road. As secret sauce for Xbox One during the Xbox One's lifetime, it is largely effete.

I don't know what Lisa Su means to suggest, but as always... we'll see. Allegedly, Navi was created with Sony's input.

Frankly, I'm still waiting for the OS footprint to shrink so games can utilize those resources now.

Omnislashver361853d ago

PS4 had those extra compute units and the GDDR5 for secret sauce. It was originally speculated for 4GB as well, so they delivered on multiple fronts.

MS's secret sauce was ESRAM which became a pain and the power of the cloud which never came through.

PS5 is looking to have the 3D audio and SSD for a start, and whatever else AMD is working on with them, so the sauce there is most definitely real.

andibandit1853d ago

@ Thundercat

"When the secret sauce is actually something real, it's a good thing...."

Lets just see what it is first

bluefox7551853d ago (Edited 1853d ago )

It's good when it's being tauted by the manufacturer of the chip. Not from some fanboy or a certain company that has a long history of over promising and underdelivering. It carrys weight with a Playstation product because Sony literally always delivers. So yes, this is something to be excited for.

madpuppy1852d ago

Secret Sauce is only good when it is actually real. and if you notice, No one from Sony made that claim. That was a claim by the Chip manufacturer. As for "other" claims of "secret sauce" you may of heard from in the past...well, that was more like a way to engage potential customers NOT to buy a competing brand with the hollow promise of something better coming out from them. "Them" being MS, and they have a 100% record of failed promises and grand claims that turned out to be vaporware.

DJStotty1852d ago

@Thundercat but if the secret sauce is real, then it is no longer a secret right?

WickedLester1852d ago

LOL it is when the actual chip manufacturer confirms it. This isn't some BS PR nonsense being spewed by the console provider. Anyway, like said in another post, Sony's exclusives are the only "secret sauce" that matter.

ILostMyMind1852d ago

When It is true is wonderful. When Microsoft say so, It is a joke. Because It is lie.

jukins1852d ago

Well when certain fanboys claimed the xbox 1 had secret sauce like an actual hidden chip stacked inside the apu that for some reason Microsoft didnt activate compared to the actual CPU manufacturer CEO ots a good thing. But secret sauce is basically the techniques software and or hardware modifications to make these apus punch above there weight.

BlackTar1871852d ago (Edited 1852d ago )

there's a GPU on top of a processor and then another GPU hidden behind the power button and at least AT LEAST 1 in the controller - that crazy xbox guy back when xbox one came out from this site.

Waiting until actual specs and features come out before I decide to do anything. Oh, and the price.

Bathyj1853d ago

Don't give a damn about specs. I know it will be good. I'm more concerned with the support the maker and devs will give it. I also know that will be good because it always has been.

History is important.

Notellin1852d ago

This article needs the title changed. She never once says "secret sauce".

“What we have done with Sony is really architect something for their application, for their special sauce,” she said.

rainslacker1852d ago

But the special sauce is a secret, so it's not completely out of context, and its funnier to use the term that was applied to x1 all gen, because chances are higher that sonys will actually be delivered. Of course, without knowing what they're referring to, no expectation can be missed as of yet.

Buying it... probably a year or two after release.

IMissJimRyan1852d ago

The article never said anything about "secret sauce". The title is misleading and borderline lying.

Crazyglues1852d ago

She says it in the interview, watch the video

mynd1852d ago

Crazyglues, she says their own "special sauce" (ie video game console).
The article will get people excited anyway. Meh

PapaBop1853d ago

Day one for me but I really hope they don't make secret sauce a thing. It's as ambiguous as power of the cloud.

Am I talking to a ghost?

The cloud sucks I have Xbox One X and when I sync some of my saved games I have to start over it's crazy.

81BX1852d ago

Weird I never had this issue. Even after I cleared my cache. Maybe something to do with which console is set as your home console?

Tazzy1852d ago

@81BX I don't think so I called Xbox about it the other day and they did a walkthrough with suggestions and even suggested I clear my local saved data but I could have lost everything I had saved so I didn't want to chance it. I don't know what it is it's right after the game syncs this occurs.

bluefox7551853d ago

I wouldn't worry, unlike MS and the perpetual vapor ware, sony pretty much always delivers.

Highly doubt it'll be an actual Batman game that IP belongs to WB Games along with other DC property.

They're making an action adventure game. IMO I think it needs to be another Marvel game despite MS already have Blade as that action Marvel game. Dead Pool? Punisher?

Realistically it'll probably be a new IP entirely.

The_Hooligan10h ago

I agree with you. I think I'll be a brand new IP. Now it could be a superhero themed, kind of like infamous. Speaking of which, Suckerpunch needs to make one after Ghost 2.

neutralgamer199210h ago

would love a infamous collection for ps5/pc

Lightning779h ago

I definitely think it'll be super hero themed game 100%. Something MS needs in their portfolio.

ThinkThink7h ago

Please, no more super hero games.

PhillyDonJawn7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Dead Pool or Punisher would be amazing!!!
Don't tease me like that man lol. I see them making a new IP that's like an arkham knight clone

Dirty_Lemons3h ago

I loved the old Punisher game back in the day. Those executions never got old.

porkChop2h ago

I don't think it needs to be Marvel. It needs to be a totally new IP. That's what Rocksteady should have done after Arkham City. They've pigeonholed themselves as DC devs.

MIDGETonSTILTS1710h ago(Edited 10h ago)

I hope these devs needed support to start/finish (like Stalker 2), vs are basically done with the game but wanted to secure an exclusivity-bonus because they know Xbox needs a system seller (like Titanfall).

It’s a bit strange that they’d rather invest in this game than Tangoworks’ TWO canceled projects; or just trust a single dev from their existing massive stable of talent to emerge with a system-seller themselves anytime soon.

Either way, it is just cool that we’ll likely get a new IP from the geniuses behind the Arkham Trilogy. I wonder how creative they’ll get now that they aren’t married to an established franchise.

darthv7210h ago

This is about the former co-founders of Rocksteady and their new studio. So naturally it makes people think its Batman related with the way its worded, even though its not.

-Foxtrot10h ago

Exclusive? Sure

This year alone Microsoft has changed their plans so much with Xbox regarding multiplatform releases as they step closer to just being a full blown third party publisher and it's only been 4-5 months, imagine where we'll be once this game is finished. It will be a completely different landscape.

ThinkThink7h ago

I don't think MS will ever go completely full 3rd party with all of their games. I can see them looking towards expanding their own mobile store and moving into Mac as ways of expanding. I'm sure ms will bring more exclusives over to ps and nintendo, but I don't think it'll be as many games as you think it will. I hope I'm wrong.

Lightning777h ago

The ever contradictions thoughts and actions of MS definitely says otherwise MS changed up so much on the past 6 months of the year I lost count.

Though I'm more declined to believe they also won't go full 3rd party also.

But.

This year they're having Renaissance a super bowl of gaming with Gamepass this year. BO6, older ABK games, Avowed, Indy and other 3rd party exclusives all to grow and expand gamepass. If these games don't grow the service or grow only a little bit. Then you can fully expect MS to hit the red button and put everything everywhere. Satya will have full Xbox take over doing what he wants from that point on next year.

It's up to Xbox to advertise these games and gamepass in the next 6 months or so get the word out.

Profchaos6h ago

The more the news evolves the more I'm inclined to believe we will see MS embrace full third party status but not call it third party in their word soup ways.

It will be Xbox everywhere plays best on a Xbox.

Next gen Xbox is rumoured to be a reference design similar to the 3d0 where any company can make and sell it.

If you're offloading hardware costs to a third party yet still profiting from the games then you've cut out losses on the hardware you still have a store front that users can use and still make a 30 percent cut on that.

Your games sell for a profit on PS and Nintendo platforms and on Xbox reference hardware along with PC

You lose .kney on DLC and games sold on a competitor storefront they are seemingly already comfortable with this.

The ms bean counters are coming for the ROI that was promised they don't care if they kill the brand as it stands Xbox was never a profitable business it was always just done for reputation

PhillyDonJawn6h ago

@Lightning the would end the console then. No one would buy Xbox over PS at that point cause now you get both with just a PS. If GP flop for them, Logically, rolling back on GP would be the smarter than to do. No more day 1 title. Less quality titles. They'd lose subs but people would go back to buying the games.

Lightning774h ago

@Philly They could scale back gamepass put Indies only, AAA 1st party games coming 4 to 6 months from release. The thing is MS will have to tell their fans to buy their games again and that's gonna take years and years to condition them to buy games again. MS will lose money from that also. They'll lose out on gamepass revenue, lose out on games sales because their fans don't buy as many games anymore.

I can't see them scaling back or axing gamepass it does make them allot of money, they just want more money from it. They're not gonna condition their fans to start buying games either.

As I said they'll go full 3rd party and yes you ate right, if they do that then there would be no reason to buy the next Xbox. I know j won't be, you better hope the next 6 months they advertise the games and GP there little hearts out because this could be it.

Spawn (as well as master chief) are the only characters I associate with Xbox. Are there more I can’t remember?

rlow18h ago

Gears is another big game one.

purple1018h ago

Yeh big game, do you know the name of the lead character. Or team of lead characters. I don’t

rlow18h ago

Marcus, Dom, Cole Train. And I can’t remember the fourth.

Profchaos6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Also the chick from gears 5 seems to pop up on all their modern advertising I can't remember her name either.

Cars also feature heavily in a Xbox ad it's always master chief front and centre with cars and maybe a gears character hanging around

RE Zero would be better to do first over RE1 because they can tie the story into RE1 more.

The original RE Remake was weird because Rebecca never mentioned anything about what happened in Zero and it felt so disjointed because Zero was developed during the Remake and they clearly didn't share any notes with one another.
