Forums - Sony Discussion - Forbes: "Social Media Buzz Points To Strong Demand For Sony PlayStation 4"

And so was Wii U's. You need games. I hope PS4 doesn't have ports of "recent" games. It probably won't though. I just hope they don't rush the games. "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad." They need good games. Man I love Miyamoto's quotes!

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.

The general public is unaware of the PS4, non-gamers per se. None of my friends at my church group know about the PS4, and they play video games. I am not a store employee, btw. I'm a teacher's assistant at a daycare

still though no reason to agree and act like it's some sort of filthy business decision or that PS3 will be abandoned.  No one supports  legacy like Sony and no generation had lasted this long from what I remember.

If Sony supports "legacy," then why was backwards compatibility taken out of the PS3? Cutting costs. The same reason why PS4 won't play PS3 games. However they are making up for it with cloud integration later on with the PS4 so those games can be streamed to the console.

I mean they come out with more games and budget priced collections late in a console's life than anyone.  Use the money you don't have to spend on BC to get PS3 games or PS4 stuff since it'll be cheaper.  They will support PS3 till at least 2015 compare that to MS or Nintendo and the last year of their 7th gen consoles.  GoW, LoU, Puppeteer, Beyond, NiNoKuni, Sly, GT6 (possibly), PSallstars vs. Halo 4, Xenoblade, Zelda SS, Gears Judgement, Forza Horizon.  Even when you combine their competitors there's no comparison.

Yeah, you are right about that I just don't have the time or money for other consoles. I'm saving my money now for the future and I've already invested some of it with my Wii U and other games (also paying for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn once it releases). Plus I like music so I buy a lot of it (a certain brand of instrumental and therapeutic music that I use for my job). So yes, no time or money for other consoles right now. Plus my family, friends, and girlfriend like Nintendo games and consoles, so I'm stuck with them. Plus Nintendo has the games that I want. The only games I'd buy for the PlayStation systems are Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, and Tales of series. Oh, Dead or Alive, Tekken, and Soul Calibur. That would be it. I don't fancy violent video games and I don't like Sony franchises. Just not my cup of tea.


Whatever floats your boat but LBP, ratchet, puppeteer, journey, and other Sony games are family friendly ill just point out

Not to be ignorant, but I've never heard of Journey. I know what LBP, Ratchet & Clank, but I don't know what Puppeteer is about. I forgot to mention that shooters give me extremely motion sickness. I don't like LBP because the sack characters just look weird and disgust me (poor character design IMO). Ratchet & Clank is too cheesy with the game content and its humor, from what I saw at my friend's house when he played it.

oh...I don't think we can talk anymore if you're going to badmouth Ratchet like that, but LBP characters are customizable for a reason.  You can make him look like Mario for all they care so I don't that criticism.
