There were lots at Time Square without release.......

*There are non for PS4 at the moment.


Maybe because the PS4 hasn't been announced yet?

I think the Wii got more media attention -- good and bad -- than Sony's successor to PS3.

Honestly, if it wasn't for this site I wouldn't have known about February 20. Meanwhile, in 2006, I was being bombarded with news about Wii from all sides.

I don't think many people outside of our bubble are aware of Sony's press conference or the rumored specs of PS4. There's nothing really transcendent about PS4 so far, whereas Wii captured the imagination of people beyond the video game world.

that is true. I didnt know about feb 20th until this forum. I knew about the Wii because of Wii ads everywhere Town Square Manhattan, New York.

Toys r us had a HUGE wall with the picture of the Wii. I mean massive.


You're confusing announcement hype with launch ads.

How can you advertise something that hasn’t be announced? What would be the point of announcing it if there was already ads for the console?

You mean it is getting much at Gametrailers? It depends where you look, Wii got a lot of attention even before it was released, the X360 got a lot of attention aswell, at some points you could not open MTV or it was X360... X360 and X360 they were talking about.


=p It is just like they are talking only about PS4 now but that is because their is not much other news around this time of the year.
