Sony's CES announcements this year are neatly summarized by the void of nothingness between COO Mike Fasulo's hands in the photo above. The Japanese company that helped define mainstream consumer electronics in the '90s basically didn't bother to introduce any marquee products at the biggest consumer electronics show. And, judging by Sony's latest reported earnings, that was a good thing.
Sony's preorder routine is slightly different this time around.
With BMW, Sony Honda and Ram revealing EV plans, cars dominated CES 2023
According to a recent statement by Sony, it has sold out around 25 million PlayStation 5 consoles.
Sony know not to show their hand too early on price and specs. A lot of the consumer base pick purely on the cheapest or most powerful. Its one of the reasons we've not heard a PSVR price yet, Sony wants everyone else to announce it first so they are not undercut in any way.
The problem I've always had is it's always too expensive unless it's a PlayStation product.
Probably because of the cutthroat competition that's more than ready to launch themselves at a new project. And Sony can barely afford to let much more leak after two years ago.
