I just wanted to say, it's been a fun ride so far fellas.

To those who will be banned: we'll miss you until you come back (prolly).

To those who made the Kaz gifs: amazing fucking work

And remember, no matter what side of the fanboy fence you are on, be it Nintendo, Microsoft or Sony, you should really be pulling for Sony tonight to at least prove to the press and general public that game consoles are still a thing. PlayStation doing well helps our hobby as a whole... it's best to remember that.

Cheers to that!

My predictions:
- no price
- no date
- no interface
- no service details
- no official specs list

+ hardware
+ controller
+ many partner logos on screen
+ demo real
+ CGI trailers
+ Devs talking about how amazing the hardware is
+ history of playstation
+ Publishers promising stuff on stage with their logo and nothing to show for it
+ mention of cloud and gaikai but nothing more.
+ time frame of launch (like 2013)
+ much more to show you at E3 2013 hope to see you all there

Or they can show investors how much faith they have in their product and not curtail to a silly superstition and call it PlayStation4.

Read the post above yours. I don't think it has anything to do with superstition. Apple's iPad was a great move and I'm convinced Sony will follow suit.

“It's been...fun.”

the console is not gonna be name "PS4", right? I mean Japanese and the Number 4...it's just a no-go.

We've been over this already. There's really no precedence for this anywhere in the Japanese games industry (so many titles that have 4 in them). Just forget about it. If it has a different name, it will be for different reasons.

I just think it will have a different name. Maybe just "Playstation". I would fucking hate that, but it happened with Movies, Games...everything.

I think they might include the name "Vita" somehow...

I don't think anyone doubts that consoles are still 'a thing'.

I am not sure about this news source, but here's what they say on PlayStation World:

Here are the top features:

Free
- Online free as the current Playstation Network
- Voice chat between all PlayStation certified devices, ie consoles and smartphones

Payment (annual cost of about $ 89.)
- Playstation Plus (included with these services previously have) enhanced new proposals, users PS4
- Access to Gaikai for cloud-gaming with the option to play for free to list some of the titles in a month, while others pay
- Share photos and / or videos directly to YouTube
- More space for saved games in the cloud

Now why the hell would i want to voice chat with someone that is on his Xperia-phone? And the whole party chat thing, i'd hardly use it - because when i'm playing Battlefield 4, i don't want to talk to someone screaming how fucking hard and brutal Demon Souls 2 is.

What? What makes you think that? =/

Especially seeing how poorly PS Vita is doing sales wise. Makes no business sense whatsoever.

Yes but A lot of people do want voice chat. I couldn't care less about it but lots of people do and has been a big target of criticism when it comes to the Playstation 3.
 
What if the PS4 IS THE CLOUD?!?! Using Gaikai's tech couldn't they just stream PS4 quality games to PS3 at this very moment? PS World would be a way to stream everything to your PS3, no upgrade needed! PS3 could stay at it's current price, Sony could improve their profit margins, and everyone, except those who don't have bandwidth, would be happy!

Did I just drink too much coffee or did I not get enough sleep?

I personally don't think it has anything to do with the 4. I think they'll just adopt the Apple method of scrapping the numbers and sticking with the brand. The Playstation with a simple update to the original PS logo.

That is a completely diff argument from 4 = playstation is going to kill you.
Personally I hope they continue with the numbering system, that is the easiest way to not confuse the casual consumer. As for Apple their product updates are so incremental a whole number change is not usually justified :p

I think the message they're trying to send is one of unification. I think that's a good thing. They really need a proper service to connect all their devices at the core.

I dont think I can stream, I've got a gig left before I get capped will the conference be avilable for download later

hop off until the conference? Its not going to be a massive amount of data unless you HD it.

Everywhere will have it to watch or download later. All the tech sites, youtube... etc.
 
I don't understand why it would be called anything other than the Playstation 4/PS4, like we had the Playstation 3/PS3, the Playstation 2/PS2 and the original Playstation which was latter called the PS1.

I'm honestly curious: if Apple's iPad move was that great, why didn't they stick with that strategy for the iPhone?

The iPhone 5 was announced and released after the "new iPad" had hit the stores.

I would be completely fine with this. Do it Sony. I'd pay for PS World too - just keep online play free.

but then nobody is buying nice new hardware and accessories. For a hardware company... Thats death. Also its not a great idea to cut out 90% of your customer base.
