  2. Always thought he was created by Sony as ai presenter because how perfect he speaks everytime XD

  3. I will keep my original ps5 because it feels so special to own it. It doesn’t feel the same with the ps5 slim and the pro.

    1. Life isnt nithing. He did that with Police inte rfering with his story. Tupac. While he left evidence behind before the take. The End Of Time album. And on. He died before his mom. Making stories and living by his way

  4. Real developer meeting,
    Rockstar games & Naughty dog devs telling cerny, look we need this much for our games which will be the only hope of selling your glorified box.

    1. Ps5 has been matching the ps4 with no naughty dog nor rockstar, even though the ps4 had both within 3 years

  5. I already have the 2020 model of PlayStation V, watching and learning about this PlayStation I want to buy it all over again.

  6. 8:30 I love Cerny, but this is hilarious. Roundabout way of saying the framerate was ultimately capped.

  7. PlayStation was built on Japanese engineering excellence.
    Ken Kutaragi created the foundation (PS1 & PS2 the most successful era
    Japan focused on quality, testing, and innovation.
    Now PS5 is losing strong games and momentum because of too much outside interference.
    American influence should stop changing Japanese console philosophy let Japan lead PlayStation again…. bring back Ken Kutaragi
