When Sony first began its Gamescom 2013 press conference, it did so in the most innocuous way possible. We had President of Sony’s Worldwide Studios for SCE Shuhei Yoshida just sitting in a chair, sending out tweets, that kind of thing. Thankfully, it didn’t generate into the full-on insanity Sony is known for, but there was something interesting a Redditor noticed.

Yoshida exited the user interface, going from spectating someone else’s game to playing one on the PlayStation 4 in a matter of 7 seconds. Don’t believe us? Check it out below.

Try timing how long it takes for you to spectate or do anything on your PlayStation 3 and then immediately go into playing a game. It might just be a few seconds difference – or much more – but it is a testament to how well integrated the systems are that you can leap right into games, no matter what you’re doing.

The PlayStation 4 will be launching in November on the 15th in North America and on the 29th in Europe.

Bonus: Did anyone noticed you can video chat in the game?

6 seconds too long! They have 8 cores, 8GB of DDR5 and PS4 still loads games like Penium 166 :/

I hope there was sarcasm somewhere in there!? You can't be serious otherwise :S

Excluding loading times.

That's awesome. Seriously, I hate the amount of waiting from Power On to actually playing. That's why I love my Vita, since I almost never turn it off and I usually have the game I'm currently playing paused in the background. Always On is something I'm looking forward to with the coming gen.

Never mind that, did you see at the end it knew exactly what he wanted to write, mind control confirmed.

That's very impressive!

This is around the 1:10 mark of the video for those with no patience.

Hmm, DriveClub needed 40 seconds to boot...

If you had watched the video then your post wouldn't be considered flaming or spam.

It's a joke referring to the loading times of many Playstation games. Sony fans just cant take a little bit of criticism hm? The video itself is impressive.
