i think a lot of ppl are not undestanding, were talking about hype over speculation, ive never seen speculation grab a hold of the internet by its balls and squeeze it and make it beg for mercy. nothing has came this close to hype over speculation before(again,were talking about something that we think is a pre announcement,grasp this ppl). and the wiiu is one of the least talked about/hyped systems of all time at all points/time/stages of its existence, ive only seen the nintendo fanbays get excited over it

Just trying to keep track of the shifting goal posts of the OP for everyone.


No goal post was shifted, the OP wasn't worded properly. I can only hope people are somewhat intelligent and know the PS4 hasn't been revealed, and no announcment for price or release date was set. Taking that into consideration, the OP is pretty obviously not talking about pre-launch anything. The PS4 hasn't been announced, nor has Sony said the meeting is to announce the PS4. 

The only ones who were shifting goal posts are the ones trying to downplay the hype.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

If anyone had any doubt it wouldn't be the PS4 revealed today, do they seriously think Sony would change their Champions League adverts for ANY other event?
