Console preferences will remain unaffected by cell phones and tablets? I seriously doubt that.

I hope they briefly discuss the PS4 and then show a lineup of brand new IPs that all look like Monster Hunter

Man, I hope they know by now how not to screw this up.

Because it would be stupid of Sony to have such an enormously hyped up event and not use at least part of it to try and drum up some excitement for their underperforming handheld.

The only Vita related annoucements I expect are the ways it interacts with the Orbis.
These how the events are they focus on one platform.
Its not all of a sudden going to change.

I think the price and release dates will be announced at this event myself.
Everyone is acting like this is out in late 2014 yet we know its not; its time to start revealing this stuff and then concentrate on the games.
1200 attendees must be a headache from a logitical pov.
Sunhi was usurped by DemonNite, multiple times. He's probably taking a break and will come harder.

Wasnt it Nintendo? I think that incident was just a misunderstanding though, since it was cheering in the video for Sing Party itself at the end, and someone thought it was ment to be pre-recorded cheering for the game itself.

Insane For Sony
No PS blog winners for this, so there's a chance it will be like that CES 2009 or 10 when the audience was dead silent through most of their keynote, with a single mild applause for Uncharted 3 3D trailer. So awkward.

vita meeting was almost 1.5 hours I believe.
This. Although I don't think we really know. But if its like 60-90 minutes we have a shot at some really great info.

If Agent 2 isn't announced, I'm going to be disappointed.
There are probably lots of journalists from Europe and Japan attending too. Mainstream media, not just gaming sites as well.

My bad! That's is truly shameful from MS.
Nintendo, take note.

Live concert confirmed. Gaf will explode in anger until it is revealed everything was being projected holographically by the PS4.

I feel like Sony is betting the farm on this. Given everything we've heard about the OS, connectivity to other devices, and so on, it seems like this is going to be the core of their future hardware offerings. And it seems everything is lining up just right to have a huge success, with the rumored price and launch line up. They are making sure they hit every mark.
I wonder if we'll see any big features added to Vita's OS to coincide with Orbis' launch.
In Kaz we trust.

That's irrelevant. Apple doesn't even attend MacWorld, hasn't for years. It's run by IDG or some other 3rd party.
(I know you were correcting him but, there you go.)
They had better bring the big guns, inviting that many people will create it's own level of expectation.

The ps4 will retail at 1200 us dollars
A day before my birthday. I like that idea
I'm a fan of dick waving not the figurative sense but the literal one.
Aside from that I cannot help but be caught up in the hype

You'd rather they made a nice subtle low-key announcement, maybe in a tidy little piano bar, few close friends, just before midnight on a tuesday?
It's all about mass market hype with these machines.
There's a middle ground.

Ok, but I have to admit I am curious to know where you think "dick waving" starts or ends. It's not like they announced that there will be 1200 people there. That's just been noted by the press.

I dont think there really is anything that is concidering as "trying to hard" when it comes to getting the word out there for a new product. The more people who know about it, the better. It makes me wonder if Sony has taken notes from the Vita and the WiiU (seeing the sales for those systems, i get the impression that many people doesnt know about these systems, so the system could have been pushed harder).
The fanboy marketing is just some Google ads for this event, probably an attempt of trying to gather people's attention. I havnt seen anything outside of those Google ads and they mention nothing about PS4 in specific. I expect the PS4 marketing campaign to focus 100% on the product itself.
Everyone of those 1200 people gets a megaphone each, plant or no plant. Sony is going loud and hard
Yeah, no company has ever done anything like this before. I remember Steve Jobs announcing the iPhone 4. "Our phone is pretty good, although our competition is great also. Choose whichever one suits you more" he said to me and 3 other people in the back room of a strip club in Fort McMurray, Alberta.
