This is a console reveal. You need to show the console. It's a psychological thing: We need to see the box that will power the games and experiences the PS4 offers. Otherwise, the PS4 will feel incredibly abstract. It won't feel real.

Worse yet, it makes it feel like there was no payoff to the PS4 reveal. No, here's the new controller, here are the new cool games, and finally, here is the machine that will make it all happen. Bam, bam, bam. We're one bam too short, and that's unsatisfying. The entire evening never built to a climax. It just ended, sorely missing that one last bam.

Sorry but when did they say it was the reveal of the PS4? All I got was "PlayStation Meeting".

lol please do not play that card. Everybody expected a PS4 conference. Talking about Vita so they can legally say "PS Meeting" is just dodging the issue.

And did we not get a PS4 heavy conference. An hour and a half talking about the PS4. I guess because they didn't show the console itself discards everything else that was shown during the conference, correct? Hilarity at it's finest my friend.

I refer you to the kotaku article. Your idea of hilarity is disturbing :P

If this is a non issue, then its funny since I see a ton of Sony fans on damage control, insisting its not a big deal. Well clearly a lot more people seem to disagree.

A Kotaku article? If you're going to try to prove a point at least put some effort into it. I want you to persuade me, not make me laugh.

Yes, dismiss the words because of the source, regardless of their meaning.....sigh. Can't persuade what can't be convinced.

No offense but a person defending this and then having a picture of hardware doesn't go well together

We aren't talking about me, we are talking about you. But at least I won't dismiss a source because of its domain name alone.

The reason I asked the question is exactly this reason because to me its a very bad way of perceiving things. Just because Kotaku says so it doesn't mean we should all blindly follow their way of thinking. The look of a console isn't the most important thing, but rather it is what it does. Kind of like a person actually. You want to ideally stay with a person long term who has a nice and kind attitude who looks okay rather than a person who is smoking hot but has a horrible personality.

The PS4 is just a PC. It was from the beginning, it is now and it will always be. And if you have ever seen a PC, you have seen a PS4. They'll just put some custom made chassis on it.

I don't dismiss the source simply because of it's domain name, I dismiss it because of what types of articles it has created in the past. They are good to read once in a while for a nice laugh, but nothing more nothing less. Nevertheless, you may continue to downplay the conference for as long as you desire. No harm done.

Most Sony gamers are not obsessed with how the ps4 will look like,just like most xbox gamers aren't obsessed with the look of xbox3.
The MS and Nintendofanboys are crying.

Not showing the ps4 design= fewer reasons to complain as you can't hate and insult on a design you haven't seen. therefore being "obsessed with the missing ps4 design" is just a substitute for the missing ps4-design -flaming.

I happen to agree with it. Seems many fans such as yourself take issue with that. And people will continue to think that regardless of how many fans do damage control.

The conference ended on a down note. To have something tangible shows that you have your act together, thats its not all buzz words and empty promises...sorry if you disagree but both arguments have merit.

It's a psychological thing. We want to know what we'll be getting when we put out money for the counter, we want to know how it's going to look in our living room.

Honestly, think the word "PS3" in your head. What comes to mind? Maybe it's different for you, but for me, I think of the actual box first.

Maybe Sony didn't think it's important, but clearly it is to a lot of people. If they want to see it, they want to see it. If they're disappointed at not seeing it, that's their right. Accordingly, Sony make a mistake.
