They say that whoever hits first hits twice, but if who hits second is Sony with a first presentation of games for PlayStation 5 as we saw last night, returning the setback is presented as a very difficult task. The Japanese company has not only made a display of overwhelming software, but has also shown the design of its new console and revealed the existence of a model without optical reader. The price (and date of several titles) will have to wait.
Sony has not only shown the first lineup of games for PlayStation 5 and the console itself, but has done so in front of millions of people.
The PlayStation 5 launch has been one of the most watched gaming events in history with over 7 million viewers between YouTube and Twitch. Such has been the anticipation and number of news items generated, that a quick summary will make things much easier for early risers or those who decided not to watch the event live.
