The PlayStation 5 has finally broken cover in all its curvy glory.

Not everyone. But for many consumers, it's The Games that count rather than the aesthetics of The Box .

dozens have been teased in an online event. But Sony is still tight-lipped about The Machine price.

Each new console is to navigate a Hard Time , the difficult economic waters that lie ahead of us, but Sony is reluctant to tell us how much your next machine does not cost the consumer help find out if you can afford it.

Can you tell us a little bit about the PS5 design, because at first glance it looks more like something you section in the furniture of a business rather than consumer-electronics-zone?

The PlayStation is in The Living area of most homes, and we felt it would be nice to offer a design that really grace most of The Living areas. This is what we have to do is trying. And, you know, we think we have been successful.

the importance of exclusive goods, such as Spider-Man: Mile Morales, and Gran Turismo 7 on this new machine?

Exclusive games are, of course, a point of difference between our system and others.

I really with the criteria of quality, not necessarily exclusivity. And if I take a look at our worldwide studios, is it really the quality of The Work you produce that counts.

At The Moment , it seems to talk about better graphics and faster load times, but what is next to offer gen?

We think that 3D-audio " is a paradigm shift. We think that the functionality of the new control system, which must always be experienced to be fully appreciated, is a paradigm shift. We think that the SSD [solid state drive] storage mechanism, and The Way it can really help you move Between Worlds in The Games and eliminate load times is a paradigm shift.

you know, we went to great lengths to show that they are of considerable length in The Ratchet and Clank demo. You saw The Way that Ratchet was moving from world to world. In previous generations, the character needed to was walk down a corridor while loading in the background. Now, it just happens immediately.

The demo showed the character-ratchet, the have between different scenes without a break,

I know the earlier generations tend to have better graphics, you know, more grunt in the CPU [central processing unit]. But we think that we have A Number of features to enhance the sensory experience of The Game , and allow developers to make really cool and different things.

It was a really eclectic mix of games in the presentation - great PlayStation franchises, but also quite a lot of stuff from smaller studios, what seems to be a rather unusual decision for the first gameplay reveal for a new console.

We wanted to with the triple-A games that fully demonstrate the performance of The Machine . But some of these smaller games are very cool and innovative use of the new features of the console.

You're not going to hear anything about the price of today. But many of our many of our consumers buy exclusively Digital These Days . We thought that we would do what we usually try and do, and only offer the choice.

The PS5 event has been postponed. a week, as a result of the unrest in the United States at The Moment Have this situation leads to no changes in the content displayed, or otherwise in today's presentation?

And as we are in a period of economic uncertainty, it is a Good Time to release a new machine?

Conventional Wisdom and history to show that our company is one of the more recession proof company. I think but need to sharpen, in order to ensure that we focus on how the value equation right. And I emphasize value as opposed to price.

We need to be more attentive than ever to ensure that the entire value proposition in terms of the console and The Games makes The Range of games, quality of games, quantity of games - something that aspires to our community in the direction of.
