EDIT: the time stamp on forum posts needs to go into seconds damnit!
Obviously we're the audience most sensitive to the truth (or otherwise) in this message, but trying to look at it from a big picture viewpoint, I just can't see a reason as to why they would run an ad of this nature with this message and not be fairly confident that the system will be available to purchase in the EU during 2013.
I'm hopeful and reasonably confident that I'll have one of these (PAL) bad-boys under my TV come December.

Think it'll be same story with the CL ad. If it mentions '2013', Sony will just say 'restating what we said in Feb'.
They'll only get down to the nitty gritty on explicit territory confirmations at E3 or maybe even later.
Just hope for their PR's sake that this and the CL ad are being run in the full internal knowledge of a 2013 Euro release. Reckless teasing otherwise
I think the reason any advert has been kept a secret like this is because it is being handled internally by SCEE rather than having it done by Deutsch. That way they can ensure no leaks. Advertising execs are notoriously leaky, they love to talk about their latest high profile campaign to other agencies and brag...

UK:2013
Europe: TBA
I bet they still get shafted due to supply issues
Europe: TBA
I bet they still get shafted due to supply issues
So how Europe is usually treated with console and title releases?

Good ad though. They've managed to both advertise the new console changes and avoid the issue that they have yet to unveil the box.

Assume they're talking about Dortmund's players.
IF only they had me in their marketing department.
You just got the entire Football OT to buy a PS4 lol

I like this one. But you need to add some "WANKERS" to complete it

Dunno don't forget that the rumour is that MS are behind Sony in software and hardware.
I've always had the feeling PS4 will release before XbO worldwide.
I hope Sony learned a huge fucking lesson from the PS3... Advertise the shit out of your console! MS did and look what happened. This is encouraging, plus a little up yours to the Xbox1 announcement.
HOLY FUCK... I just realised this means Australia will get it THIS YEAR TOO!
Yes my son. Yes it does.

Lol Jurgen Klopp is a boss. Very charismatic.
Great stuff.
hmm interesting. I think this is their response to EA.
I guess the reason for that is, that Konami/PES has the Champions League license instead of EA/FIFA.

Seriously, Sony's marketing are over thinking this thing. All they need to do is take out full page ads that say
* No serial numbers
* Lend your games to friends
* Sell your games
The most powerful console in the world. Q4 2013.
...that's literally all they needed to say.

They're both really sending mixed signals tho. Xbox one reveal was US focused with the TV bits and NFL and so on, but was broadcast on EU Primetime. Sony had it's reveal at what was it midnight eurotime on a weekday? E3 presser will be 03.00 CET.
It's just strange
/P

PS4 2014 in Germany?

I think this is more to do with their sponsorship of the Champions League.
I'm sure that ad will come eventually though.
:lol

Next stage, have Kaz Yamauchi as a guest on Top Gear showing a trailer of GT PS4 and then do a lap.

I searched the thread for 'crab' and was not disappointed.
Quite a happy crab I might add.

Really banking on 'share' being a thing, aren't they.

They should have done this with GT5, so much wasted potential with the Top Gear test track, it's mind-boggling. But it's not too late or is it (Forza)?
