Ready to learn about the PlayStation 5's system architecture? Mark Cerny, the console’s lead system architect, will give an in-depth look at that tomorrow at 9AM PST on the PlayStation Blog. 

Sony is backing out of this year’s Game Developers Conference due to concerns over the coronavirus. This comes a day after the company said it wouldn’t be attending PAX East because of the virus either. Facebook also announced it won’t at GDC 2020 for the same reason. 

Bidding has begun on the “Nintendo Play Station” prototype at Heritage Auctions. This extremely rare and valuable piece of gaming history will go to the highest bidder when the gavel falls on March 6. Read Kotaku’s previous story on the auction for more.

Sony has launched the PS5's official webpage, and it’s short on new details. In fact, there aren’t any at all. You can sign up for the console’s newsletter. With Sony skipping E3, that’s one way for it to share info. 

Sony says it has shipped a total 108.9 million PS4s worldwide as of December 2019. Sales were down 20 percent in the last quarter due to lower PS4 console and game sales, which Sony attributed to the PS5 announcement and the PS4 being in its seventh year.
