Both style & games
Until the launch of PS5, Sony has been quiet about the novelties it was to unveil to its fans. The launch of PS5 focused more on the games than on the console. The inimitable style of Sony’s offerings and the power of its games were on full display. While Horizon Zero Dawn 2 and Resident Evil 8 stole the show, new IPs and indies rekindled old curiosity. But what finally seals the deal for Sony is the PS5 and its beautiful and sensuous design, with all the curves, blue lights, and styling.
Variety of experiences
Most Sony watchers were apprehensive that it might once again make the same mistakes that it made with the PS3 launch model. That was when the games released along with the PS5 launch were yet to be seen. The few glimpses of the games that came to the PlayStation fans had sharply divided their opinions. Clearly, Sony has learned its lessons as the games launched along with PS5 puts Sony in the top league once again.
