I wonder how much buzz it will generate when some real news actually comes out! Anyway over the past 3 months I would say talk about Xbox Infinite is at a higher level than talk about the PS4 before it's reveal. Not that any of this matters can't wait to play either the PS4 or Xbox. Hopefully after the 21st I have a better Idea which one I'm getting first.

Seriously?? Are we that quick to forget the insane hype before the PS4 announcement? There were hundreds of kaz gifs created for that single conference, for pete's sake. And the gaf thread got over a million views,

Sorry I don't think VGChartz or GAF are good ways to measure how much media buzz the PS4 event recieved. I know it was a good amount of hype that I don't deny, just not as big as some make it out to seem. 

Vgchartz and GAF might not be but Youtube kinda is. PS4 video went viral.

Also it was on the mainstream news....

People all over the place were talking about it or atleast aware, im talking about non gamers. The event delivered.

Its died down and i dont know how people actually felt about the console itself...so this isnt a long term thing. But in terms of getting the word out there to just about everybody relevant and making them aware of the PS4, they succeded 100%.

Now the full reveal, release and games need to take it from here.

Edit: BTW I think Microsoft will naturally receive similar coverage etc. Its built up the XBOX brand practically from nothing last gen. But if you looking at the "hardcore" gaming websites...PS4 hype seemed to be more. In fact the next box hype seems kinda low...not much discussion about it on GAF...The reveal could change all that though
