Dat montage is the best they ever made. I also googled Mark Cerny, hope he's at every Sony conference including E3.

It's fantastic. The last 40 seconds especially gives me goosebumps.

The 360 box was revealed in May, and it also came out in November of the same year.

Damn Sony couldn't pay for this kind of positive press!
not true, Sony can opt to allow their ads to be skippable (you've seen this amirite) and if they do (i'm sure they have), all of those views count. they'll disregard the ones that people opted to skip. seeing as how this is the PS4 and it's a cool short video, i'm sure a lot of people decided not to skip those. Sony has disabled statistics for the video so there's really no way for us to find out, too. i know i've personally seen this plastered up all over the place.

For what it's worth, a majority of customers at our GameStop have heard about the PS4.

Or Sony got out the hardcore gamer mantra, E3 could be mostly about entertainment and apps.

Well they do say "We didn't build a box" in the video...

E3 will be all of the above. It will have pricing, hardware, software, media applications, online applications, games, and release date.
Like any other E3.

For the slim chance you can see the PS4

Somebody please tweet this at Ben Cousins (the ex ngmoco guy who's always droning on about how consoles are inevitably doomed and mobile/phones are why)...

Not that surprised. I think there seemed to be an expection that the home consoles were all going to suffer because of what has happened to the wii/wii U and handhelds. I think the next gen is going to be huge again, i'm just not sure nintendo will see much of that.
Yup. The ending of that vid from 2:48 always gets me! So many awesome PS memories.

I was really hoping that the playstation meeting would go a different way than it did. It starts out with the lights off, one light comes on, Kaz Hirai dancing by himself. Harlem shake song starts. The drop. Every major developer is on stage humping PS4 consoles and giving the audience the middle finger while dancing with the Dualshock 4. The screen flashes; Kingdom Hearts 4 CONFIRMED, Half Life 4 CONFIRMED, LAST GUARDIAN 4 CONFIRMED. PS4: OUT NOW! Lights turn off. Everyone has to fly home.
Sigh... it would have been beautiful.

if i didn't keep track of gaming news and stumbled upon an ad that said "PS4" i'd sure as fuck watch it
This buzz is the exact opposite of the PS3's 'buzz' pre launch.
I wonder if MS will show mostly multiplats or bring dozens of exclusives at that event.

The tech and the focus is there. But like the 3ds i need to see the games. Im sure theyll be there come e3.

The PS4 seems to be built on the opposite philosophy of the PS3->easy to make games for,no crazy custom parts,no hyper arrogant Sony etc. that's the kind of buzz I'm referring to.

It depends on what is announced. If the Nextbox has always online and blocks used games, you'd better believe the PS4 hype will be affected by the Nextbox's announcement, but in the opposite way you are implying it will be.

Very briefly, you see the legendary "The Beginning" launch commercial for PS2. It's the one which advertises the PlayStation 9. Those were the days when PlayStation had really amazing commercials. The Kevin Butler commercials brought back good PlayStation commercials but now that his campaign is over, I wonder what they will do for PS4's launch.

"Ladies and Gentleman" was the best PS3 commercial.

Oh wow I just realized they threw their old PS2 slim mockup in there.
I can't believe people are still crapping on about them not showing the box. The idea would be to spread the reveals, whether it be the design, the price, the unannounced games, the release date, the features,etc so that the console is constantly in the public conscience. They were smart to get in early and quench peoples thirst for a glimpse at next gen, but they were also smart to leave a fair bit to the imagination.
They've definitely done a great job so far of raising awareness and gathering some hype. Even my casual gamer friends have been talking about it as well as a few people who I wouldn't have expected to know about it.
I'm really interested to see how Microsoft responds.

I think there's only 2 main ways for Sony to royally fuck it up and that's delaying it in Europe to next year (highly probably) and having a rather high price point that will put people off (I don't think it'll be too high but still be priced higher than the competition).

I think delaying in Europe won't make a difference. But agreed with price point, most sensitive for US market.
