My rough estimate is 1000-2000 people there. Each circular segment of that hall seems to have about 100 people or so.
You live up to your name. There is 4000+ people there.

consoles are still one of the hottest products and will grow next gen .
cell phones and tablets killed handhelds and PCs . Console preferences will remain unaffected next gen
God I'm so hyped for this. Bring on PS4 + Vita lovin!
Why do people think Vita stuff will be there?
Isn't this all about PS4?
The only Vita related annoucements I expect are the ways it interacts with the Orbis.Why do people think Vita stuff will be there?

These how the events are they focus on one platform.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.
Man, I hope they know by now how not to screw this up.
Sunhi was usurped by DemonNite, multiple times. He's probably taking a break and will come harder.I don't think I've ever seen Sunhi talk in anything but gif form. This must be a big announcement. Believe.
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.AFAIK, it was MS with pre-recorded cheering. Maybe last year. Sony had people who won a trip from the PS blog competition, so they cheered without any recording.
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.So you're saying it'll be 1000 investors and press, and 200 Sony fans to provide cheering when prompted.
vita meeting was almost 1.5 hours I believe.Does anyone know how long this conference is suppose to last? An hour?

1200 US fellas
MS openly used pre-recorded cheering, not Sony.
Need to start the next generation off with a big splash.
1200 divided by PS4= 300
300 British Pound = 465.63 US Dollar
Rounded down to nearest 50.
= $450
There's your launch pricing.
I believe 45k showed up at the recent MacWorld conference.
?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.

*MOAR DUBSTEP AND LASERS!!!!!111!!*
Sony is trying way too hard it seems. Huge event, fanboyish marketing campaign and all. Will they be able to live up to the expectations they've set? We'll see. Either way, I'm not a fan of dick waving.

There's a middle ground.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.
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).Sony is trying way too hard it seems.

Everyone of those 1200 people gets a megaphone each, plant or no plant. Sony is going loud and hard1200 people?
Are they going to give the plants megaphones to 'wooo' and whistle when they start talking about how great no used games/always online are and how awesome wonderbook for ps4 is gona be?
Or are they just going to hire more plants?
