Have you ever seen another console get as much media attention as the PS4 is getting before its annoucement?

But that's not very nice...

I guess the only parallel which we can draw is the WiiU (which was randomly announced) and the Vita (which only had buzz shortly before launch).

 

We shall see how this goes.

Sometimes I'm not very nice.

If the rules are set like that, then the question in OP is worthless...

The OP isn't worthless it makes a lot of sense. How many consoles can you recollect that had this much press before the announcement?  Microsoft is going to have some huge buzz with the illumiroom with the casual media.

Gaming internet press? Ok, but there has been no mass media ads as far as I have seen....most of this is just forum hype.

You trippin or something!? You're saying all those PS4 headlines and rumors are made in the forums????

Forum chatter is where most of the hype comes from......any gaming site can post a news article. Hardly mass media penetration

Keep on dreaming!
