Buy stock now while it's relatively low people, you'll help to dictate a low price as well.

Nvm.



29 percent are interested, while 71 percent aren't. It's a small form of hype, but not anything major. In time and closer to launch, it will build. Who knows. I was at Walmart last week and a mother was buying 3 PS3 games for her two sons. I told them, "you know Sony is releasing the PS4 this fall." The one boy didn't even know there was a PS4 announcement. The mother then said, "oh great, another console to buy." I then said, "It can't play PS3 games either." She then said, "then what's the point in buying PS3 games now?" The other boy replied, "Sony sure is stupid. Why can't the system be like the PS2?" I then told him, "It's all about the money..."

ummmm...ok.  Didn't have anything to do with completely changing the architecture?  Did you mention it would increase the cost of the system over $100?  Did you say PS3 games will still be fun and Sony will still support it for a couple more years with new games?  Man what is it with store employees these days and their anti sony agenda?  Also one boy not knowing means nothing.  I know a lot of casual gamers (COD or 2K basketball only) and they know about PS4.  It hasn't even been E3 yet.

I didn't know that over 8m people watched the PS meeting live. That already gives you 8m people that are very interested and may buy the console near launch.

Sony needs to deliver with games and price.

Sony has great momentum. Just need to be careful with the price


indeed it does have, if it can hit a $399-$450 price tag for base model im sold

those prices will be reasonable. But i have a bad feeling it could be more. Im going to buy a ps4 day one (already have money saved up) but i want the console to do well, a high price like 450- 600- then the ps4 might struggle early on like the ps3 and vita.

Anything above $500 is a no go for me. That's when the hill starts getting alittle 2 steep.



Since when is Forbes suddenly a reputable source of information for video games?

lol who said that?

Microsoft. XD



$399 price tag? Will be a day 1 purchase from me, but I'm not waiting in any lines.



Until you have to pay for it!
