Forums - Gaming - So this is why Sony waited to reveal the PS4

They wanted to wait and see what the Microsoft Conference would show everyone. I am sure they had someone on the inside tip them off as well.

Now Sony can decide if they want to show off the PS4 at E3, or if they want to do a bit more work on it before they put it out. Or think about what else they need to add to compete this holiday season.

Any other benefits Sony can get from this?

Ya....Sony admitted that it wasn't ready in February. It is just that simple.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Sony has already stated that they will show the PS4 console at E3. They are not going to delay the reveal further.

They could not have showed anything? Yeah right. I am sure it is sitting on Kaz's desk right now. Only about 5 months until they need to start shipping it. I would imagine it is basically finished. They were waiting for the Xbox One reveal.

They showed a controller. Jack Tretton said it himself that the design wasn't final. Straight from Sonys mouth.

Sony doesn't have time to change it's look or anything else now if they want to set up the manufacturing process in time to produce units to sell in November. They waited cause it wasn't ready.



they will show the console June 10th.

maybe they have not shown the ps4 because the console is as ugly as the xbox1/3 and the japanese are too gentle to shock people first.

if this is the case it will just be the next betamax vs vhs war all over again and playing games from videotapes must be an interessting experience.

IYO, IMO the XB0 is the best looking console to date. Finally a game system that dosn't scream kids toy. Hope Sony goes the same direction, and PS4 looks like a high end A/V product.

As far as changes being to late, this might not be totally impossible. Sony made a change to PS3 hardware last minute adding HDMI to the 20GB unit. 




Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

A small black box will have a better than Xbone desing IMO.



Yes Spurgeonryan. They are going to change alot of things about their console design in 20 days and ignore what they have done in past 3-4 years of its development.



Doesn't matter what the ps4 looks like now, xbox one looks like a VCR player, ps4 can't do much worse.
