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

The Wii got no Media Attention before it was announced it was all about PS3 in 2005. Nobody cared about the GameCube Successor.  All the Wii  hype started afterwards. Wii didnt capture the imagination of anyone because nobody knew what it was all about, like PS4 right now. So your point kind of falls apart.

You're talking about 2005, but Wii didn't release until Q4 2006. At E3 2006 and after that, -well before Wii came out- anything and everything even remotely connected with Wii was utter hysteria. Madness. It was the hot item, and everybody was talking about it. Even trying to deny that is just... awkward.

I am talking before Nintendo said a word about the GameCube Successor. Sony hasnt said anything about the PS4 yet not even the codename was announced. So it would be pointless to compare it to the timeframe after Nintendo gave information of any kind about the Wii.

 

The whole point of the thread was to ask if any console was as hyped before anyone knew anything about it and the answer is: yes the PS2
