First of all, nothing I said or quoted was dishonest.
Yes it was. Because you quoted the part that said Playstation is not that popular in the US. Obviously it's popular. The comparison to other countries is KEY INFORMATION that you deliberately left out.

Second, you attempted to call me out on "quote mining" which I didn't do at all.
Yes you did. See above.

Third, US sales are among the biggest sales figures for PlayStation. Just because the percentage of PS4 vs Xbox/Nintendo may be largely different than Japan.

GTFO with that quote mining and dishonest BS as well, pathetic.
Because Playstation is not unpopular in the US, and people in the US have on average more money than many other places.

I will gladly "GTFO" by putting you on ignore. Goodbye.

Predicts the worst decade for Sony starting 2022






these are just a few videos of what black people are upset about. Also take into account how racist and horrible past generations have been to them, telling them theyre too dirty for our bathrooms and that they can’t even use the our libraries or schools. Redlining and keeping them from owning property. A lot of them have had to unjustly grow up in poverty or their parents had to.

Also keep in mind many white Antifa types have joined in and done plenty of destruction themselves (and to the movement).

While I agree that behavior is unacceptable but did you know more white people are killed by cops per year than blacks? Just saying. Also every single time a black man dies by a white cop it isn't a racial issue. Maybe the cop is just and asshole who abuses his power and the suspect happend to be black.

I get it they don’t want there reveal distracted by the protest and the shit that’s going down. As much of how disappointed I am and anticipated this reveal they deserve to have the reveal under better circumstances.

Don't waste your time. I wouldn't necessarily agree to everything you're referring to here, either (yeah that stuff happened and was widespread and sucked ass but there were still lots of blacks not affected by it, then and now), but that other dude is probably just fishing for any reason to chameleon their own feelings behind vague theoretical peoples who can technically exist therefore it's an easy out to hide from stating his own feelings from his own individual POV.

I mean damn, the postponement sucks but some people take it way overboard xD.

Just admit you made a stupid comment
 
Except here there was no injustice, only a crime, an injustice would've been if the cop was fully acquitted of all charges, but that hasn't happened yet and most likely won't but you know, this, hurricanes, any excuse is good to loot some Nikes and ruin the lives of hard working people.
This is a funny statement because most of these goods like Nike, Adidas (sportswear, clothing articles, and all) are generally made in places closest to what we can call slave work in the modern days. But all of these are a discussion on itself. Not gonna derail the thread anymore.

I quoted your whole post, but if your comprehension abilities are that lacking then good riddance.

Again, pathetic.

That's a shame. I would have thought the depressing situations in the world are more reason to have a fun launch, as a positive distraction. There's always something negative happening in the world, perhaps I'm being insensitive but I think it's best to try and carry on.
 
Japanese Megacorp that gave the world the rootkit, proprietary connectors and makes extensive use of cheap east asian labour. Now postpones reveal event of its multibillion dollar investment because of the plight of the teeming masses of humanity.

To be fair, MS is a US company, not Japanese.
True (although Playstation is run by the US branch now), but anyway I think it's largely about how big of a market the US is for Sony. But you're right, that's even more of a reason why Microsoft would have done the same.

I feel like we can disagree with postponing the event without calling black people savages.

It's just video games. We'll live.
He said that some are acting like savages, not called black people savages. Looting and property destruction is exactly what savages (barbarians) were doing during fall of Rome (with addition of rape and murder). He missed one detail. Most of looters and rioters are not black, but white.

To be fair, MS is a US company, not Japanese.

Since 2016 SIE is based in California and almost all decisions about PlayStation are made there.

While I agree that behavior is unacceptable but did you know more white people are killed by cops per year than blacks? Just saying. Also every single time a black man dies by a white cop it isn't a racial issue. Maybe the cop is just and asshole who abuses his power and the suspect happend to be black.

it’s definitely not the apocalyptic thing the left tries to use. I believe the vast majority of cops are good and support them.

If it’s just that cops are abusing their power on all races, then it still needs to be addressed.

They may as well put like an apple event where they Show the ps5 in Nov and release it the same day. It's less than 6 months from launching and most of the public knows nothing about it.

I agree, the main issue is police brutality

Corona vírus deaths in the US : over 100k people (white, black, brown, green yellow) life goes on

Isolated incident caused by a racist cop : close the world
Right wing idiots show up to government buildings armed with automatic weapons "protesting" the government keeping them safe: sure go ahead

People protesting systemic racism and discrimination which causes large demographics to not feel safe in their own neighbourhoods: send in the national guard
 
Not like there is going to be anywhere to buy a ps5 if these looters, vandals and barbarians don't stop the pillaging. A mall not far from my home just got ransacked by these scumbags... It's not even in the city.

Another problem is some of these cops are Jar heads right out of the marine corps. They often times forget the "serve" part of the job. Just like any profession you have your good and you have you bad. I love the people who scream fuck the police but are quick to call 911 when something goes wrong.

I wonder what a black American gamer thinks about this. Now let's hope that everything leaks before the postponed event. And that protesters invade and loot Sony headquarters in the US.

As a black gamer with a wife and two kids where video games are our main hobby. I could care less about them postponing the presentation. Like everybody in this thread I will be pre ordering day 1. We will see the games soon enough, we already waited so long so a week or two won't hurt. I just hope everyone is safe and I hope Sony puts on a great show when they decide the time is right.

My prediction after having found out memorial for George Floyd was the same day as this event. I think this will be a short delay.

I reckon the new date will be 9th of 10th of June. Basically they still will show this before EA Play event on the 11th. As I reckon they will reveal FIFA at the PS5 event and then have more on FIFA at the EA Play event. To have PS5 reveal after EA Play event will mess up their FIFA showing at the PS5 event.

AFAIK two times more with five times bigger population, so 2.5 times less times adjusted for population.

June 1 2285:
"Now we are finally ready to show the Ps5 and those sweet SSD powered graphics"
- Overnight there's a murder in some remote village in Bangladesh-
"Well better luck next year"
I don’t think it’s fair to compare these situations as equals, while any life lost is tragic, there was a lot of build up tension with the death of George Floyd plus with the country just slowly re-opening from an on going and still legitimate threat of the COVID-19 virus, it was a perfect recipe for a lot of people who had so much pent anger toward the government on their handling and obvious racial tensions thats only gotten worse with police brutality.

From Sony’s perspective, they probably want to be respectful since the memorial is also on the 4th but it probably has to do with media exposure as well, they will get more publicity at a later date.
June 4th is my birthday and I was looking forward to watching it while grilling and enjoying some steaks. But it's alright!

Gives me an excuse to fire up the grill with more steaks when they eventually reveal it! 😊

I'm gonna add some prawns and fish to the grill for the eventual reveal!
Happy early birthday
