I said to you guys... the last video will show something big than PS4... the biggest surprise.

Of course I was talking about something Gran Turismo related .

Epic Win.

I just had an idea for an announcement they could make tomorrow that I think would be pretty big. Imagine Sony built the PS3 hardware into every TV they sell at no extra cost. In addition, they modify the XMB to handle smart TV functionality. This would put a lot of Sony's long term goals to reality.

1. Their TV business isn't looking so hot right now. However, Sony can be a big player here if they'd just stop thinking they're better than everyone else and try to add some value and differentiation to their TVs. Having a PS3 built into their TVs (at little to no extra cost) would do both of these things.

2. A TV is still an essential device for home entertainment. Just about everyone buys them to consume some form of media, be it movies, direct TV, OTT TV, games or even music in some cases. It makes sense to have the PS3 built into your TV as it supports each of these forms of media consumption and does so pretty well. It has a store offering these various mediums. That is a huge opportunity for Sony to really enhance the adoption of its online services and store. Of course, I'm assuming Sony would include a pretty sizable hard drive and a blu ray drive in their TVs as well.

3. It's a trojan horse to get Playstation branded devices into houses and improve sales of software and accessories; which is where they make their money. Their Smart TV's can also have an interface to easily access news related to Sony's products which will help consumers easily keep up to what Sony has been up to. It's pretty much free advertising.

4. It unifies Sony's Smart TV offerings. Sony has individual offerings for Smart TV apps across their current TVs and the PS3. Having all apps made for the Smart TV available across the PS3 and Sony's Smart TVs (which increases the market for these apps) increases the likelihood that devs and companies will invest in making these apps for the Smart TV experience.

It's just a thought I had but I think it plays very well into unifying Sony's offerings and strengthening multiple sides of Sony's business segments at once.

P.S. I haven't read this thread so I don't know if this has been mentioned before or not. Apologies if it has been covered.

P.P.S. Throw in a few months of PS Plus to get people some games to play from the get go.


well those are great idea's with great benifits. the only thing i can see happening is that they lose out on a lot of ps3+ps4 sales. thats why i think they should make gaikai come with sony TV's. with access to some PSN media related services. the TV comes with a TV controller and you can stream game on it when ever you feel like it, high quality games like uncharted. that way they get an advantage with their TV's that samsung will never be able to compete with (atleast not for a VERY long time) and it also drives software sales. and peripherals like controllers (mostly), PS move and headsets.

Holy fucking shit I will scream if GT6 is announced tomorrow - not getting my hopes up though!

If that happen then says good bye to Nextbox or Wii U people... the generation is over because PS4 will be even bigger than "The Old King" PS2.

Over 170 million PS4 sales confirmed.

I don't mind them spending so much time on Gran Turismo in that video; and I applaud them mentioning Flow, Flower & Journey. But it felt pretty lacking. I take it the video was supposed to only represent first party titles, but they could've done a lot better with it, imo.

Same problem as the PS3 video. They've been making games for 15+ years, yet mostly show titles from the past 12 months. I thought it was supposed to be an 'evolution' video, ugh.

Anyway, less than 24 hours, eep!

The GT is the best example for evolution you can have in videogames.
