What are they though? Until we have names and gameplay footage there is nothing.

Well in that case PS4 doesn't even have a console
Quite true. Although I think they're both going to be rather similar, since they're essentially HTPC's now, and heat seems to be issue. Considering the XBone's vents and huge fan.

I hope Sony go a similar direction, I've grown out of weirdly shaped cheap looking plastic. It would be nice to have a more refined, minimal approach and let the games do the talking.
That's what they should always be doing. I haven't really owned a console since my PS2, but I'm rather interested this generation. It all depends on the games to me.
It is a pretty safe bet that two will be Halo and Forza, though what the new ones are who knows.
E3 is going to be interesting and fingers crossed we find out some of the information we actually want to know. Main thing for everyone has to be info and preview of games, though personally hoping for some more info about chat functionality as don’t want to change headset when I change to a new console.
Are people really that bothered about the thumb stick position? If Sony still have the left thumb stick in the ‘wrong place’ does that mean the 360 has the right thumb stick in the wrong place? I do much prefer the 360 controller but that is due to size and shape. Thumbsticks and buttons are all moveable but as long as the controller is comfortable to use then easy to adapt.

E3 will make or break the XBone in the eyes of gamers everywhere. Not sure how MS managed to steal Sony's "douchebag" mantle this generation, but it is quite an impressive accomplishment all the same...
...not to say that Sony will also have some douche-baggery in the works for gamers, but what the hey, as a PC gamer this is all just a side-show to complement my popcorn

you may prefer it, but even Sony tried it in the xbox position for PS4 and found it got in the way of the new touch pad, so put it back. but wider apart.

Large fan does not equal lots of heat.
A large fan is used as it can run at a lower rpm and shift the same amount of air as a small fan running at high rpm producing a lot of noise. While the larger fan will be silent.
Fixed that for you
If they are run correctly they should be silent (well at least at any distance above 1m) i know all mine are.
Although these will be temperature controlled, so may kick up more noise.
The two I run are, but I have them on a fan controller. As you say this one will be temp controlled. Just hoping both ps4 and XO run quieter than the consoles they replace, my PC can be loud as I wear a headset which cuts most the fan noise out. Not so with my consoles.
Where on Earth does the MSRP thing keep popping up from? Charging MSRP for a license to play a used game isn't a solution. People would have to be broken in the head to pay for a used copy of the game and then MSRP for a license to activate it. It would make no sense. Why implement a system for transferring licenses (or removing them or whatever) and then do that? It would void the point in the entire system as a new copy would actually be cheaper.
The only time I've seen MSRP mentioned has been in relation to installing a game on a friend's Xbox. You can play it. He can play it with you. If he wants to play it alone, he can pay MSRP (or the current price on Xbox Live) for a license, unlocking the game instantly.

15 exclusives, 8 of which are said to be new IPs in the first year. At least wait for E3 before you come out with comments like that.
Not so for you.
Loads of people play consoles using headsets. It's why MS has introduced the data port instead of the headphone jack on the xbox one controller, to get a slice of the sales from headphones.

Will Kinectimals 2 be counted in the exclusives list?
