Best part of that presentation? "Hey, this box will do all that media stuff too...but that's not why we're here."

Here's some games. Want more games? Maybe a few more games?

Amazing.

Wildly lame ending to a great presentation. No price talk, no release date, and lots of unanswered questions. Guess they're waiting for Microsoft to announce first.

I'm still really curious WTF the system looks like.

I loved this too. I am so glad that they are focusing on the things we buy consoles for, you know games.

What a disappointment at the end there.

-No price
-No specific date
-Nothing on backwards compatibility
-Nothing on used games
-Nothing on DualShock 3 compatibility
-No unveiling of the actual system.

Yay, you showed off some cool games. Cool.

I'm not sure - I bet that they announce exclusive (yet different) content to Xbox as well.

Yep, Sony put Games front and center, the new controller, Move, barely mentioned. It was all about how the PS4 would enhance gaming.

They have to have something to talk about at E3. I didn't figure we'd see them declare a price or launch date tonight.

Sort of surprised that the console's appearance wasn't revealed though.

Day one purchase, wife approved.

Folks are going to be hard pressed to say that Sony didn't deliver AND impress in this press conference. I don't think any of us expected this level of disclosure.

Yeah, that was fantastic.

Sony did a great job while still leaving a lot for e3.

They got to leave something for E3...

My fear, $600. If the GPU and RAM sticks, not out of the question.

It's going to be new and innovative design. It will be a complete sphere. So the game will not only be in the software, but the hardware itself, in that you will have fun trying to keep it still.

There is no native BC. The rest should be shown at E3 and TGS at the latest.

Good press conference... except they didn't show the actual hardware!! I guess they're saving it for E3 (maybe it's not finalized yet or they want to steal some of MS's thunder). Also, having the Final Fantasy brand director teasing an announcent for E3 was pretty disappointing.

The controller looked pretty slick though, my guess is we get something sexy for the console too. Sony usually goes overboard in style for their first gen, before scaling back for the slims.

The rumor is that Microsoft is holding an event prior to E3 to announce the Xbox, correct (in Paris I believe)?

I guess we have to tune in to E3 where they’ll announce a price and maybe actually show the system. I really have to question the idea of premiering a new console without either showing what it physically looks like or even hinting at a price. Even though there was a ton crammed into this evening, that ended on a rather sour note. You would think the finale would have been about the system itself, but they handed it to Bungie who didn’t actually show much of anything new from their game anyway.

Regardless of legnth, the presentation felt incomplete without the price/product at the end, even if we did see games, the controller and hear a vague release date. It might have been better to just do it all at E3 if they were going to leave out two pieces of the puzzle that were that important.

Yeah, they really went above and beyond. I was expected a hour long hardware reveal, and this was more epic than their usual e3 pressers.

Good thing since that's the whole point of a game console. It'll probably cost around 500 bucks, no backwards compatibility, who cares about used games, and I have no problem retiring my Dualshock. The only thing I agree with you about is the actual system, but I'm sure, given Sony's history, that it will look pretty cool.

The French are avid gamers and a huge marketplace, so that's a good call right there.

$500 really is the cheapest they can make it and not take a major loss. If Move is included...

Sony really is taking a gamble on this machine. That 8GB GDDR5 is going to cost them well over $100 per console. The GPU will be $75+ The CPU $75+

This thing will not be cheap. Whoever organized this show knows how to build hype. Everything that could really kill their hype train was not mentioned. (lack of BC hurts, but the PS3 will be sold for another 5 years plus.)

No details, but he clearly said self publishing.

I don't understand the BC issue at all. I have two PS3s and I don't plan on getting rid of either one of them. So WTF? Most people junk their old consoles or what?

Thing I like most is it sounds like Sony went more with Silicon Valley, than their R&D in Japan this time it seems. Talking about simplicity, elegance, and leveraging it to create a deep experience is really something that has been lacking with stuff coming out of Japan. It's the difference between AOL and google, so it's good they atleast understand their problems from last gen.
