Sony has just announced the PlayStation 5 Pro with details, features, and price point hosted by Mark Cerny. Digital technology consultant and keynote speaker...
I almost chocked on my coffee in the first 20 seconds :)
I did watch the video. It’s why I asked. Anyone can say they are a consultant, and he doesn’t really mention much to back that claim. He doesn’t say anything novel either.
I’m not trying to be hypercritical, but if someone says that they are a credible source I want to know why.
But he is just giving an opinion. Sure if you want to scrutinise then his credentials matter but for the sake of this video we should take it at face value as its not like he is going to be taken seriously by sony. But echoing an opinion shared by many is important with the small platform he has.
Looking at his channel it looks like he makes games for nintendo. And it would appear he has done other work outside of that field.
If more people in the industry follow suit or if this gets more people talking about sonys terrible decisions then im all for it.
