If they reveal the existence of the PS4, with potential mock up hardware on statage, a new controller, tech demo's from 1st party studios, and what Gaikai will really do going forward, what's left for E3? the price, the games, the final OS?
Virtuosity, anyone? And when Windows freezes up.
I think e3 will be about final details and games. Im assuming the meeting will show off the new console, some of whatvit can do, an intro to gaikai and some games. Evolution, mm, and either gg or santa monica.
Sony would use E3 to show final details, what ps4 can do, more unannoumces features, and announcements by gg or santa monica (whichever didnt already announce), PD, ND, and other studios. This way they can get people talking and excites for new console and still use e3 to "wow" and create buzz and (if the games are good enough) take away some of the buzz from MS console (whixh would have been announces some time after feb. 20 to e3 date).
What im not sure about is the price. Would sony have people waiting several months for a price. Nintendo was way too slow about this info. But i dont think they would announce a price without showing off all the specs (otherwise people may spend several months bitchig that its not a good value). Im leaning towards e3 price and launch announcement date.
Also, id prefer it if they didnt name it ps4. This has been a pet peeve of mine. I dont want to have a ps12. It gets ridiculohs at some point, imo. Might as well go with "playstation". But, i see them doing ps4. That badluck means nothing to me (granted, im not japanese). But from what i can tell, japan pronounces it in english, no?
