Over on Sony's website, the company revealed that its live stream will begin at 5 pm PST on Monday, January 6th. There, Sony should have quite a bit to announce, whether that means a full reveal of the PlayStation 5, or something entirely different. Right now, the company's page is decorated with the words "the future is coming," which implies that there will be something big for fans to fawn over. Sony has been teasing a PS5 reveal at CES 2020 for about a week, and the time seems right to formally debut the console.

The back of the controller is where things get a little more interesting. The patent contains potential designs for the new controller — though they aren’t final — that include two new buttons. The new buttons appear to be programmable to perform the functions of other buttons on the controller, so you could have them do the same thing as the circle or square buttons if you wanted.

Not having to take the thumb off the analog sticks to press square or x is kind of a big deal.

I mean, if it wasn't something people wanted then Microsoft wouldn't have been selling the Xbox Elite controller and Sony wouldn't have just made an adapter for the DS4 to add paddle buttons.

Let's just take a moment to appreciate the fact that Sony simply numbers their console releases. Something so straightforward that works beautifully. Consumers understand it, it conveys a completely new console generation has begun, all that jazz.
Meanwhile every other major console manufacturer that ever existed managed to shoot themselves in the foot with bizarrely named consoles that either sound completely stupid or just confuse the consumer.

If Horizon Zero Dawn is coming to PC, than perhaps the sequel will as well and I won't have to worry about this.

Talk this weekend started up again that the PS5 will be fully backwards compatible with ALL previous PS systems' game media.
I started a thread about it 6 months or so about the first wave of rumors.

So glad I'm a PC player.. don't get me wrong I have a PS4, but for exclusives. Too bad I still never touch it. I actually feel really bad about it. I should give it away or something.

I'll believe backwards compatibility with PS3 games when I see it.

Lmao they aren't showing shite, what a fricking joke. frick Sony.

So, they didn’t show anything. Just confirmed all the rumors. I guess they’ll be at E3 presenting the new system.

Lol you shouldn’t follow finches rumor mills.
Nobody official ever said they would be. It’s not even a gaming show.

Then why mention anything about it? Why dip out on E3 this passed year? What other opportunity would they have to announce it.
