[Music]
welcome to watch mojo and today
we're counting down our picks for the
top 10 ps5 controversies
[Applause]
that when it in and when it did the
update the emulator that runs the ps4
games is corrupted
but we found people buying those seats
not to enjoy the game
but instead to illegally make some quick
cash
for this list we'll be looking at
various public controversies surrounding
the release of the playstation 5
and the console itself have you been
enjoying your ps5
if you've even managed to get a hold of
one that is let us know
in the comments below number 10
backwards compatibility
this has always been a big selling point
for new consoles
unfortunately sony totally bungled
backwards compatibility when it came to
the ps4 with the atrocious playstation
now
and it looks like the ps5 may be
following in its predecessor's footsteps
albeit to a lesser degree upon launch it
was discovered that upwards of 150 ps4
titles were not fully compatible with
the ps5
working for the punch out and the
offering
there's one over to muncie and they
double them up
and it's not like these are obscure
games that no one cares about
no various high-profile games like
assassin's creed syndicate
various call of duty titles mafia 3
definitive edition
and multiple games like mlb the show and
nba 2k
did not make the cut and they'll just
make him throw one over here three and
one
number nine the physical design
you know what they say big risks yield
big rewards
but also big failures for upwards of 20
years
the playstation has been a solid black
or grey brick
the ps3 played with the design a little
bit by introducing sleek silver and a
rounded top but it still looked like a
playstation
sony threw all conventions out the
window for the playstation 5.
[Music]
not only is it white but the unique
angles make it look like something from
the future
the change didn't go over well for some
sony unveiled the ps5
back in june of 2020 and it was
immediately memed
people turned it into modern buildings
popped collars binders
modems sandwiched with paper and even
sauron's tower from the lord of the
rings
[Music]
number eight different cooling fans
it didn't take long for the noise
complaints to start flooding in
as it turns out different cooling fans
were installed inside
random playstation 5s resulting in some
louder than average consoles
it was a total luck of the draw if a
consumer received a loud ps5
or a normal one
a french tech website called the lenio
lenovo took apart various consoles and
discovered that the review unit that
sony had sent out
contained a better quality cooling fan
than the one they purchased at retail
with that said both fans are still
quieter than the ps4
and there should be no additional
problems provided the cheaper fan is
still doing its job
[Applause]
number seven recording voice chats
oracle knew she couldn't escape but she
caused this crash for a reason
she must have left a clue while crawling
away people
don't like to be spied on and this has
become a recurring problem as technology
has advanced in many amazing
albeit creepy and obtrusive ways in
october of 2020
it was revealed that the playstation 5
would be recording players conversations
to use as evidence in cases of verbal
harassment
i will look for you i will find you and
i will kill you
it was claimed that someone could rewind
up to five minutes of the conversation
and send a 40-second snippet to
playstation moderators
this naturally caused some controversy
and sony was quick to clarify that it
would not be listening in on
conversations
this didn't really help much especially
when it was revealed that this function
could not be disabled
put that cookie down now
number six criminal activity
the playstation 5 is a hot commodity and
its frustrating lack of presence on
store shelves is a primer for criminal
activity
robbery including armed robbery has been
reported throughout north america
including instances in ann arbor chicago
toronto
and new rochelle hey yo man
i ain't my fault bro
this is also happening overseas in the
united kingdom with deliveries being
marked as delivered when they hadn't
been
packages mysteriously going missing and
even consoles being replaced with items
like cat food
and air fryers amazon was quick to
notify duped customers and said that
they would be given priority when a new
batch of consoles arrives
small consolation to the person
receiving cat food for christmas
brother you are going down
price concerns bankruptcy no more money
we've got to have money
all things considered the ps5 was
surprisingly cheap
especially considering the absolute
lunacy that was the ps3's 600
launch that said 500 is still a lot of
money for people to float
especially at a time when millions are
out of work and
once again places like the united
kingdom are shafted
as the ps5's 450 pound price is
equivalent
to 600 us dollars
you find this amusing ferdi you fat
freeloader
but perhaps more upsetting is the game
price increase
many new games are now costing upwards
of seventy dollars
with places like the united kingdom
paying more than ninety dollars usd
with tax a brand new game will run
millions of ps5 owners up to a hundred
dollars usd
which is simply insane it's no wonder
that cheap and free-to-play games are
becoming more popular
number four pre-order debacle
[Music]
needless to say the playstation 5
pre-orders could have gone a little
smoother
pre-orders are absolutely essential when
it comes to new consoles
as they are guaranteed to be in low
stock upon launch resulting in the
aforementioned robberies
which is why sony's pre-order debacle
was so frustrating for some
oh come on pre-orders were opened after
sony's state of play event in september
2020.
however a specific date for pre-orders
was never given
the list of retailers was muddy and some
retailers even opened their pre-orders
the day of
resulting in many frustrated buyers
facing a sold out screen
or a crashed website naturally those who
did manage to secure one
instantly went to ebay and put them up
for insane amounts of money
[Music]
now number three technical issues
it only artifacts on playstation 4 games
if it's not crashing websites it's
crashing consoles
even those who manage to secure a
playstation 5 weren't very happy as the
internet was inundated with crash
and bug reports the controllers weren't
charging game downloads were stopping
games were crashing and showing a green
screen graphical artifacting plagued
various consoles
and the entire consoles were hard
crashing and completely shutting down
i really blew it unfortunately some of
these issues aren't simple fixes
and many were forced to send for a
replacement a particularly difficult
challenge considering the low supply
this might be the red ring of death all
over again
[Music]
number 2 supply issues
speaking of low stock the ps5 supply
issues is one of its biggest
and most frustrating problems now this
is an exclusive to playstation 5 as the
xbox series x is experiencing the same
problem
in fact console launch supply issues
have been a problem for decades
but that doesn't make it any less
annoying and it's not just annoyance
that people have to deal with
it's also the millions of disappointed
children who don't get their christmas
present
ramp in price gouging and even armed
robberies
and it's not like this has resolved in a
few weeks no xbox's tim stewart
estimates that the shortages will
continue until
april we don't know what the solution is
but we would certainly love one
the rumors are true we have received a
small quantity of the action figure
known as turboman before we continue

number one scalpers these popular
four dollar tickets sell out nearly
every game
but we found people buying those seats
not to enjoy the game
but instead to illegally make some quick
cash
but perhaps the worst thing of all are
the scalpers
it's one thing to fairly snag a ps5 it's
another to set up a bot
to ensure a console and then instantly
put it up on ebay for two thousand
walmart implemented a form of bot
prevention and blocked 20 million bots
in just 30 minutes
oh [ __ ] it just goes to show how rampant
they are
scalpers don't just hurt consumers they
hurt the company as well
because scalpers don't buy games a
typical ratio is one game per console
sold but famitsu sales data indicates
less than one game per three ps5
consoles sold in 2020
so they're not only taking off millions
of people they're also
impacting necessary software sales and
long-term profitability
