Forums - Gaming - Microsoft (Major Nelson) comments on PS4

Oh no, they didn't show the plastic housing...



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Ok MS, ur up next! so just show the box and dont announce the spec! that will level the field, oh wait Wii U already did that. Honestly I only realized after sometime the show was over, it struck me Sony didn't show the box.

This is a little ironic coming from the company that was running games on Mac workstations at its first, pre-360 release, E3.


you mean the render-targets at e3 2k5 sony showed?

No, I mean '360 games' running on Mac workstations at E3 2005, and not 360 hardware.

(And don't make he grave error that I'm a PS fanboy, but Nelson's comment is asinine in light of MS' previous history on this matter on 360 *and* XBOX.)





I'm not realy interessted in how the new consoles will look like as I will watch them for 2 minutes and never again,but I will watch the games for some hundred hours therefore i'm interessted in power and graphics.(and i'm pretty sure graphics will be great)

I am a sony fun boy and I was really disappointed they didn't show the console.
This MS guy is right. As a fact first Wii U presentation had a box next to TV.



Sony is building a lot of hype from now on to all the way till E3. They have a lot to show for in E3 now.

That is good strategy because now more people are interested in the PS4, especially about how it looks.

Everyone fell for the bait without know it. Everyone, even the microsoft guy.

They did but they officially said that it was running on mac - the render-targets from Sony were talked about after E3 when Sony had to admit that the demos didn't show real hardware which could also be seen when the PS3-KZ2 was shown.

It does seem to have been rushed and came out of the blue. A serious question, why did they even bother showing it?


to get the upper hand, which they did


I don't see how showing your hand early and giving your opponent the luxury of seeing what everyone else is offering and deciding how to respond is getting the upper hand...

The Next Box is said to release this year. Not late 2014.

There's a point where changing your console isn't viable. When production for parts have started some time ago, etc...

I don't think Microsoft has a lot of room to change what they currently designed. They should wait a few weeks to let the focus on Sony's PS4 dwindle, and then come out with a bang that... doesn't entirely focus on Kinect 2.0.

I actually hoped to see the device but come on it is not a big deal. And I am sure it looks a lot better then Microsofts box.
"it is not a big deal. And I am sure it looks a lot better then Microsofts box."...apparently you do....here's a bad thought, what if it's the ugliest one of the three? I can see the headlines from the Sony haters..."Sony too embarrassed to display their hideous looking PS4 to the public".
My guess is that they don't have the final form done yet.
