Sony's "deep dive" into the new PlayStation 5 has led to boredom and frustration from fans.
The company hinted that new details would be coming about the console in a tweet that suggested its lead system architect, Mark Cerny, would reveal more about the still mysterious console.
It led to excitement from fans who hoped they would learn more about the games and other details ahead of the release date towards the end of the year.
But the announcement largely focused on the specific and technical system details of the new console, rather than features or the games that could be available.
The presentation was originally intended to be given to attendees at the Game Developers Conference, scheduled for this week. As such, it focused mostly on the choices Sony had made for those developers, giving very detailed information about what kinds of options the hardware would give to people making games.
As soon as the live stream of the press conference began on YouTube, it was bombarded by comments from viewers, most of whom wrote "zzz" or similar. Others were more specific, complaining the video was boring or that it should be focusing on more exciting details for players.
While the video received 120,000 likes on YouTube, it was also downvoted by some 20,000 people, at the time of publication.
In the presentation, Mr Cerny gave information about how the console's vastly improved SSD will allow games to load much more quickly. He noted that the console had to be improved across the board to make the most of the much quicker storage.
