Glaring omissions are always worthy of comment. I wouldn't say his comments were insulting, mocking, or even all that inflammatory. That was actually Sony by not unveiling a actual console at their console unveil. Psychologically speaking it undermines everything they were trying to accomplish. Instead of the discussion revolving around how cool the console is. Now the conversation is revolving around the fact that there wasn't a box, and what that would mean.
Look at how many of the hardcore Sony fans are chalking it up to the console not actually being complete. That is actually a bad sign. It raises like can Sony get the console to market it the time frame they outlined. Will they be able to manufacture enough units. Will the final product have sufficient quality testing. All things that were problems with the 360 and the Wii.
Showing the box even if it was empty. Would have at least created the impression that Sony actually has their ship in order. Not showing the box actually implies that something is wrong. Like as many Sony fans have pointed out that Sony is still fiddling with the design. Folks Sony should be starting manufacture of the units within the next couple of months if they have any hope to have enough to meet a really solid demand for the holiday season. Unless they are not going to do a global launch.
Major Nelson is just repeating what everyone else is repeating humorously I might add. How can you unveil a game console, and not actually show the game console. It doesn't make sense, and it has never made sense. It really doesn't make sense this close to a consoles launch.
