Exactly, that's just simple marketing that has been around all the time. Sony is paying this websites and the FIFA to have their ads in there (Twitter and Facebook are free). The "hype" comes when a website (that's not gaming related) talks about and praise the new system. When people (not gamers) go out of their way to post a comment on Facebook or Twitter about the console then it becomes hyping. The number of ads does not reflect the hype of people since those are being paid by Sony (or any other company for that matter). Edit: I wan't to know this news articles you are speaking off. In most non-gaming realted websites I have only seen 1 article mentioning that Sony announced a conference that may be about the PS4...and that's it, no mention of the PS4 (or the conference) was given after. |
There was one on the denver post and another on msnbc. I don't go hunting for news articles though. They were just basically "sony is set to make an announcement on the 20th"
As for the media hype, there isn't really anything because they have no material yet. All that will come tomorrow post announcement. News sources don't really report on speculation. Sony didn't rent a venue that holds more than 2,000 people to invite industry folk. This announcement is for the public and they will make sure they have media there to report it to get the news to the public
(If this is a multiple post i'm sorry my interent went real wacky)
