It's a conspiracy! Sony lied to us all and everything they showed was PC footage.

I am not going to buy a console that looks ugly

Just imagine it would end up looking like the Xbox1. I know people who wouldn't put that monstrosity in the living room.

This is a console reveal. You need to show the console. It's a psychological thing: We need to see the box that will power the games and experiences the PS4 offers. Otherwise, the PS4 will feel incredibly abstract. It won't feel real.

Worse yet, it makes it feel like there was no payoff to the PS4 reveal. No, here's the new controller, here are the new cool games, and finally, here is the machine that will make it all happen. Bam, bam, bam. We're one bam too short, and that's unsatisfying. The entire evening never built to a climax. It just ended, sorely missing that one last bam.

Sorry but when did they say it was the reveal of the PS4? All I got was "PlayStation Meeting".

lol please do not play that card. Everybody expected a PS4 conference. Talking about Vita so they can legally say "PS Meeting" is just dodging the issue.

And did we not get a PS4 heavy conference. An hour and a half talking about the PS4. I guess because they didn't show the console itself discards everything else that was shown during the conference, correct? Hilarity at it's finest my friend.

I refer you to the kotaku article. Your idea of hilarity is disturbing :P

If this is a non issue, then its funny since I see a ton of Sony fans on damage control, insisting its not a big deal. Well clearly a lot more people seem to disagree.



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

A Kotaku article? If you're going to try to prove a point at least put some effort into it. I want you to persuade me, not make me laugh.

I thought I heard it was all played on a PC, they left the PS4 back home.

They left the PS4 back home? Dude, the PS4 doesn't even exist!

The conference is not being complained about ONLY because of no reveal.

People have to live with whatever it looks like for the next 5-10 years so people are interested in what it looks like. i dont want some ugly thing sitting under my TV. Ill still get it but I'd prefer it to look nice. Does that make sense? It really isn't hard to figure out. Is it a game changer? No, but it is still nice to know what it looks like too.
