Yup, MS is doing a bait and switch with the leaked specs. The reveal is going to be amazing, the crow, the tears.

it's unknown really. think we'll all be very disappointed if they dont and overall i'm actually pretty optimistic they will.
anyways we'll also be able to judge a lot from how the games look in any case.
32 hours.
damn. i don´t give a s*** about MS console, but i am sad already to miss this event going down live here tomorrow. Have fun everyone. I bet there will be just a marginal visible difference between firstgen games of ps4 and xbox now/infinity... in 2 years the graphic prowess will be more visible i guess.
Nevertheless.. open the gates. After this, there should be a flood of developer news be around. And than there is the E3.. *giddy*.
New tech smell is in the air.

Not true. They didn't have hardware ready in time, and they saw what Sony did with the PS4 and lack of console and changed plans. They want to show hardware tomorrow.
Like that early morning sweet smell of napalm.
@derFeef
31 and a bit now....but who's counting :]
Judging by Major Nelson's timer before PS4 reveal, they originally wanted to show everything at E3.
Most likely Sony took them by surprise and forced them to take action earlier than expected.
Moving the event from April to May was probably due to difficulties in organizing such a massive event in a short period of time.

Well if they didn't have the hardware ready in time, that's even more evidence that they increased the hardware specs. Good time to be an Xbox fan.

There are also rumors sony followed microsoft just beat them with the reveal.
I think that has more to do with software i think if they planned to do it at E3.
A reschedule of 2 months is a fast amount of time.
So delaying it to may give the studio a bit more time.
I do expect to see less games then the sony presser.
TBH I think Sony surprised themselves.

I don't know about the specs (although I'd say it's likely they'll release them to press even if they're not detailed during the event), but we'll probably get to learn some things about the hardware.
Aaron Greenberg said:
Suggesting that Sony's briefing has had any bearing on the MS reveal is complete nonsense.
The 1 thing that has been apparent throughout the year (Orth gate , the always online stuff) is that Microsoft is confident in their own own chosen strategy for the console.

AFAIK initial runs of hardware were scheduled for late April so they'd miss the original unveil. They switched from Los Angeles to Redmond and gave the team an extra month because Sony's event wasn't crazy and spectacular.
It's all build up for E3 anyways. Tomorrow they'll do 1hr and then pause for 1hr and hold a panel. There will be other bits later in the day too, but it's not gonna be a super long keynote.

Remember,whatever Microsoft did/do/will do it always automatically means "Sony surprised them/catch them off guard/make them in panic mode"etc for some peoples.

Any places that will have a good stream for mobiles? I won't get the chance to see it at a pc tomorrow.

They said they would wait for Microsoft, they didn't show the console, some of the third party content was recycled from previous events, they couldn't confirm which features would actually be available at launch, even some of Sony's own people seemed surprised by the 8 GB GDDR5 announcement, Yoshida's answer to the used games question was peculiar etc etc. There are quite a few things indicating that Sony's reveal event was rushed ahead of its original schedule, but just like your Microsoft related speculation, it can't really be confirmed.

Compared to MS, Sony looks desperate and unorganized. It's gonna get worse once MS reveals the Xbox hardware, software, services. When the games are shown and they look vastly better than PS4's games because of the superior hardware, the crow will be served marinated in tears.
well the first part irony or not is true
they r failing hard under pretty much every point of view in the last 5 years
ps3 ps vita...psmove pseye tvs consumer electronics mobile phones...pretty much everywhere

Dumb. Can't we just enjoy a new console without dishing out juvenile insults either way? ... oh right.
Anyways, TOMORROW!

Do or don't there is no try.
I think that's a little harsh. Sony have done well in the first party department, and their PS+ service is actually very good. It's true though that most of what Sony does is reactionary to what MS does.
Kinect ---> PS Eye
Xbox LIVE --> PS+
Xbox S ---> PS Slim
I just can't wait for the next gen viel to be removed finally!

Angelus Errare why are you doing this to yourself?
He wants tears. If it's not going to from everyone else then it's gonna be from him, either way tears will be shed tomorrow.

No you are being irrational dude! Xbox 720 gonna be weaker than the Ps4 for sure. And there are maybe going to be shown only 2 or 3 games outside of Ghosts.
It's not a shed, it's a tent damnit.
There are some interesting hints in there, although the writer isn't entirely clear on what's in and what's out.
e.g. about using streaming to allow you to play 360 games on the new device, and whether or not dvr capabilities will be included

Ok, tears will be a tent tomorrow.

I'll have tears either way, either tears of joy or tears of anger. But I believe in MS
Based on what? leaks that haven't been confirmed by MS? Just wait till tomorrow.
The world has moved on, he said, "We can't just continue to be a great purveyor of hardware products, even though some people expect us to do that."
We really need to buckle down and be realistic," said Mr. Hirai, who plans a news conference Thursday. "I don't think everybody is on board, but I think people are coming around to the idea that if we don't turn this around, we could be sitting in some serious trouble."

Some people will rightfully argue that Pseye is not reactionary to kinect , since it was available before it as a sequel to the eye toy. The Move feels reactionary to the wiimote, though.
