I think that this take from Gamespot is too far beyond.
So, if you have nothing new or different about your console besides a significant power increase, what can you show? It's funny how they can say that Sony has worked so hard to make their system easy to develop on. It's easy because Sony didn't do anything. It's easy because they jumped on the x86 architecture that basically every pc has been running for 30 years. But, let's give Sony credit for revolutionizing easy development?
//The point is not that they created easy development, it's that they made a "180" with development. PS3 was supposed to take 6-12 months to make a good engine. While PS4 is supposed to take 1-2 months. It's also easy, because they actually have tools that are supposed to much more mature than PS3 at the time.
Next, let's compliment a scripted demonstration like it was ingenious? If they would have randomly picked a person in the crowd and let them sit down and do something similar, now that would have been impressive. Knowing that the 3-4 things that you are going to do in a fixed order that you have been practicing is going to work doesn't make it at all impressive. Apparently to this writer, he now thinks Sony cares because the guy was sitting in lounging chair? I have a bridge and a gold mine to sell you.
//Shuhei Yoshida does not seem like the type of person to do that. He isn't so much a business man as he is a gamer. He actually own 2 Wii Us. The President of Sony Worldwide Studios owns 2 Wii Us and it's not a big secret. The demo was obviously scripted. Anyone who has used the XMB and used the keyboard over a long time knows that it stores the same pattern of words that you have typed. And it's obvious that the PS4 is doing the same thing. That wasn't really the impressive part, the impressive part was that they showed a bit of the UI and how fast it is. It took 7-ish seconds to start a game and enter a map. On consoles today, it would've taken minutes perhaps. Whether or not that part was set up that way to decieve us or not, I can't tell you, but I like to think Shuhei wouldn't do that.
You can't argue that Sony has definitely nailed the games focus of their machine. Like i said many times now, it's a PS3 with a suped up engine. As a gamer, and an eventual owner of a PS4, a straight games machine will be a perfect addition to my living room.
Because i plan to have both consoles at some point in the next year or so. I don't have to pick a side and claim that it is better than another. I get to laugh or shake my head at all of the humorous posts on these websites like Gamespot. I don't watch these conferences to get anything other than wowed about the new capabilities or games that are coming. I would never be gullible enough to think a multinational multi-billion dollar company gives one bit about me or even the games themselves(whether they are good vs. whether they are good sellers).
// You must not know much about Shu. He is a legitimate gamer.
