If the prices are the same as the Series X (minus 50quid for diskless), it's neither good nor bad news so no reason for delay either. I think it was just a case of who'll blink first, and will the other then take the hit and purposefully undercut the other. But it just all went on far too long.

No release date or price for that yet, but nobody is obsessing over it in the same way. Nvidia's new GPUs are out on Thursday, and they were only announced a couple of weeks ago. Again nobody was reading hidden meanings from that. There's no reason to announce these things many months in advance.

Is it just no on thought to trademark it? Think I'll trademark the letter 'i' and all its variations, though Apple probably already did that

I wish Ubisoft had the balls to take monster to the cleaners but the lawsuit would have held up release no doubt.

Sony has reached out to GamesIndustry.biz with the following statement denying the Bloomberg report: “While we do not release details related to manufacturing, the information provided by Bloomberg is false," the statement reads. "We have not changed the production number for PlayStation 5 since the start of mass production."
Mr Crispy wrote: » I'm glad they said something. Bloomberg were the only ones reporting on these fluctuating production targets... Was starting to look like clickbait.
Retr0gamer wrote: » Honestly think sony is talking ****e and pushed production back as demand will have gone down due to covid-19
Mr Crispy wrote: » Maybe. I think more outlets would have heard the rumours if they were true, but it's seemingly just Bloomberg reporting it (as far as I can see). And they've published unverified (and ultimately fake) stories in the past.
Retr0gamer wrote: » I very much doubt if it is happening it's due to production issues. I think like the PS4 there will be no major shortages of the consoles and they will be very well stocked.

Pointing towards emulators developed by Nintendo Europe. I'm wondering what they actually expected to find? Source ports?
