Hype for the PS4 conference coming up Wednesday has certainly garnered a lot of attention here on the gaming web forums, but like Veknoid said, outside of that the PS4 isn't nearly the hype machine that the Wii was in 2006 going into its E3 reveal.

The Wii had a four hour wait and record-long lines at E3 in '06. And remember, E3 attendees are the press and gamers, NOT casuals. If Sony and the PS4 can achieve this, then I'll concede to the hype level:


And what's the line like for the PS4's E3 debut?

Prior to Wii's E3 '06 nothing had been revealed besides the outer case for the console and a five second glimpse of Samus at the previous  E3 (i.e. nothing), and later, the controller.  Seeing as how we know just as much about the PS4 now as we did about the Wii then (pre-E3), they're on equal ground... and the Wii had garnered more hype. 

So, once again, if the PS4 debut on the 20th causes attention at this year's E3 similar to the video above, then I'll concede to the hype of the PS4.  Simple, no?
