| TheLastStarFighter said: Seems pretty standard. Sony fans are hyped, as you would expect. You can't really measure "hype". The coverage seems about what you would expect... it's a big deal. I wouldn't say it's more or less than PS3, PS2, XBox360 or WiiU. Wii got an exceptional amount of media coverage but it was unusual, more like i-thing coverage. Things like the Youtube vid or whatever isn't coverage or hype, it's advertising. |
So the gaming media and web publications like the LA times don't count?
What are you talking about? I didn't say it's not being covered. I said it's not more or less than other system launches. You're acting as if it's a worldwide holliday tomorrow. I don't see that. If you go to Gamespot today, it's the #4 story, and there is a banner for the conference down below like they do for all conferences, such as the big 3's E3's. On IGN it's in the #5 box after games like MG, C3 and so on. The LA times has coverage of the PS4 meeting, just like they did for the WiiU reveal. It's just a product that a company is selling. What's trending? "Downton Abby", of course.
Your love of Sony is fervent, that's obvious in all your posts. You bash other products and hype Sony ones. That's fine, but your passionate love blinds your perspective. You are excited for PS4 and see any mention of it to be confirmation that others share you passion. That's just a projection of your emotions onto others. The media coverage is the same as other reveals.
Actually, I think gaming media should be doing a better job of promoting the new consoles. This week IGN should be calling it Playstation Week and have PS4 shit plastered all over the place. A new console is a huge deal. Crisis or MG should be much smaller stories. They did the same thing with WiiU launch, when it was secondary to "GTA5" week. The new consoles are what are going to keep the industry going, and gaming media should be hyping them to no end. Otherwise, gaming media won't have a job.
