Funny thing is he was AT the PS4 event. He must've been doing some "blow" backstage during the 45 minutes or so they spent on social gaming, apps and seamless connectivity with all social media like Facebook and Twitter.
OT... This idea that the Next Box is "not strictly about games" (thereby making it seem like PS4 is) is laughable, especially in light of the fact that for the past 2 generations Sony has used their console to push new media formats for watching movies and tv shows in your home... DVD and Blu-Ray.. .with were both hugely instrumental in Sony's sucesses and failures over the past 12 years. DVD playback was arguably the biggest selling point of the PS2 early on in its life... people used to joke back in 2000 that the PS2's "killer app" was The Matrix on DVD. This gen Sony tried pushing Blu-Ray as the new format in home entertainment, which is the main reason why they were forced to launch the PS3 at "five hundred and ninety nine U-S dollarz!", thus costing them their dominance in marketshare.
I'm sure M$ is a bit difficult to work with, but to me it sounds like this guy has been drinking a little bit of the Sony Kool-Aid... and by that I mean they probably threw him a nice bonus check to talk nice about them while keeping his new game as an exclusive (for the time being) on their new console.
