The forum seems quiet today. The PS fans are being careful, waiting eagerly and trying not to raise their expectations too high.

Its also the combination of PS4 being announced before Xbox, which we all though was impossible, coupled with the PS3 resurgence in recent years promising long time PS fans a return to the PS2 glory days of actual market dominance.

We are in the calm before the storm people. I think im just gonna do 100% office work tomorrow lol.

LOL office work  during the annoucement? 

Well ya, no Xbox fan would want to get caught in the shitstorm tomorrow.


So essentially you don't care what Sony does.

Ill read the headline news, but I aint gonna touch the forums with a 10 foot pole



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

To be honest, it's mostly this site which is really driving home the 20th meeting, and that's about it. Most other sites I've seen have been talking about Destiny, Aliens, Luigi mostly. Aside from this forum.

But it only leads to one thing: Disappointment. No doubt no matter what is or isn't announced tomorrow, the vocal Sony fanbase will still spin it into a success (like the whole Vita thing yesterday), no matter how "average" it's likely to be.

Because if I don't see FFXV, Versus XIII, Last Guardian, Watch_Dogs, UC4, GT6, Galaki, pre-determined graphics, Ratchet and Clank and more, then I'll be disappointed. Because these are what "rumours suggest" or "what people are expecting".


Try neogaf and gamefaqs.

But this is my point, both those sites are heavily Sony-centric. You look at most ACTUAL gaming websites and there's very little talk about it (though this will likely change on Thursday), no more than your average rumour. 

Sony Centric? Not the general consensus. Well if you could list those ACTUAL gaming websites, we could share that unique experience.

It's getting more attention than Wii U had, that's for sure. But not more than Wii. I believe even media rushed at E3 2006 to cover everything about it at the show floor.

The Wii got the most media attention like ever.

It's Payback Time! Nintendo killed the Vita with the massive 3DS Pricecut! Now Sony is killing the Wii U with the PS4. It's going to be the next big thing and will do iPhone numbers easily!

:P

Well realistically the WiiU has 8 more months of selling while PS4 sells 0, assuming PS4 launches in Novemeber globally.

That is also assuming WiiU Nintendo 1st party franchises dont come to the resucue and if Nintendo doesn't pull a 3DS and cuts the WiiU price to undercut the PS4 launch.

If WiiU stays the same and PS4 launches in Novemeber, it would still take roughly 1-2 years for PS3 to overtake WiiUs head start, depending on how it sells. So your still looking at a total of 2, most likely 3 years of WiiU outselling the PS4 lifetime :)

I believe the revolution controller reveal (Wii remote) at TGS 2005 was a shocker.

Seems pretty standard. Sony fans are hyped, as you would expect. You can't really measure "hype". The coverage seems about what you would expect... it's a big deal. I wouldn't say it's more or less than PS3, PS2, XBox360 or WiiU. Wii got an exceptional amount of media coverage but it was unusual, more like i-thing coverage. Things like the Youtube vid or whatever isn't coverage or hype, it's advertising.


So the gaming media and web publications like the LA times don't count?

You're saying Nintendo got more hype for the project revolution than Orbis is getting for the Feb 20th date?

I don't blame ya. We need a gamer's almanac for predicting shitstorms, but you're mine for the moment.

Yeah, well, there have been so many predictions for the seventh generation and all turned out to be false. That's why I'm not making any serious predictions. The PS4 could indeed follow the Wii U Pattern, selling a lot at launch and nearly nothing afterwards. It could also outsell the Wii U at the very first Weekend. Wouldn't be the first time some electronic product sells ~6 Million units at launch. Very unlikely, but to be honest, I have no idea what the numbers will be. But that doesnt't keep me from kidding around and having fun. And as a Sony Fan on the Hype Train at full speed, there is no limit at the moment! It is going to be huge! :]
