Oh and they're going back to x86 I think. Also 8Gb RAM. But that is it. What was the point...

It's the chip dedicated to downloads that worries me. Coupled with all the talk of getting into your game instantly.

Still thinking no optical drive.

I guess it was to start generating hype and interest.

It was nice to see some of the stuff but it wasn't really anything like a release announcement.

True, but as a 'teaser' announcement, which is what this came down to, there wasn't anything to tease... There was nothing exciting that warranted a pre-announcement. There's nothing I've seen from tonight that I think 'ahhhhh I can't wait to see more at E3'. The Move 'sculpting' this was probably the most innovative thing, but that's still just development of an existing product. They never demoed or suggested how the touchpad on the controller might be used. The other 'innovation' which they focussed on perhaps too much was the 'Share' function.

Microsoft gonna be brickin it. They lost last gen, and after that I don't see them coming very close. I look forward to seeing their feeble attempt.

Sorry lost last gen? As in the current gen? You mean where they have basically sold the same amount of consoles AND with the fact that MS still hasn't broken into Japan so take that into account as well. Not being funny here but dude...wtf?

No one really expected to see the console, release date or Price, if you did then you should have done more research.

For those who are disappointed, seriously what did you expect? That was certainly not the worst announcement, in fact it was exactly what I expected and I can't wait to see more.

Sony proved that they had listened to developers but what's more important is they are listening to the gamers. 2 hours and they pretty much dedicated it to games which for me is what's it about.

What can I say though, what a fantastic tease by Sony.. and Blizzard as a partner that's a massive win and a big surprise. I'm not that excited by Diablo III however think of the possibility for the future, a console version of Titan?

Look forward to viewing the hi-def videos later.

until ps4 enables full keyboard and mouse support on all games then blizard will struggle to port rts/mmo games
 
It was essentially an announcement of an announcement.

"Oh by the way there will be a PS4"

Well thanks for that enlightening info. Now give me my 2 hours back.
 
Same old tired rubbish about how a PC is more powerful hurf durf. This is not new, nor does it influence a console players decisions. Get over it.

MS only need to announce the next Xbox at E3 to steal the whole show.

Not necessarily, they have to announce the next Xbox with a USP that the PS4 doesn't have. If it's the same or worse specs or features it'll have the opposite effect because we'll have heard it all before 4 months previously.....while Sony spend their conference saying we showed you this 4 months ago.....but this is what we didn't show you.
 
I thought it was pretty good too. I wasn't blown away but it was interesting. Especially seeing and hearing that sony have opened their gates a bit and have learned from past mistakes. Ala the cell and how locked down the ps3 is/was.

As much as some people might hate it though, if they have got blizzard as an exclusive dev for the ps4. That is a huge power play. Blizzard alone will attract a huge crowd or people. OK they only announced diablo, but IF sony get future blizzard games to the ps4. They will get a huge player base on that alone.
 
This was all about getting in there before Microsoft. The two things that beat Playstation this gen was poor dev support and the fact the Xbox was on the market a year before the PS3. Sony are obviously aware of these and they're doing their best to make sure it doesn't happen again.

It will have an optical drive otherwise they would lose access to a huge share of the world market who don't have decent internet speeds (which includes a lot of the uk).

Edit: My mistake, it is x64. Which is nice
