1200 people is like the first wii e3 conference in the kodak theatre
Considering GAF is likely to be down the whole time, we'll have to wait until after for GAF fun.
You're not excited for six time Grammy Award Winner Skrillex to live DJ the whole time?

Wow. How long will it be?
I laughed and applauded.
You mean how MS reveals a new product? Please god no...

Probably Gravity Rush 2 for Vita.
Sony has very different management these days than they did before. It'll be interesting to see how they handle the reveal. I expect it'll be very different from the PS2 and PS3 showings. God, I hope it's different than then PS3's.
In terms of phrasing, yes but I don't mean in terms of immediately closing if it sucks or anything like that. Currently the company is structured on the pillars of gaming, movie production, and cameras. If the gaming division takes another hit the company will have to restructure again and change course.

They mean biggest in terms of make or break for Sony. Dunno how long it will be, I'd guess 60-90 mins?
Ah yeah umm.....
To put into perspective, we have only a bit more than 12000 post in this thread that has been going on for WEEKS.
edit:
1200 people I'm really dumb

So is someone going to make sure that this conference is saved somewhere? Because I'll be working Wednesday when the conference starts and may not have a chance to watch. It's terrifying to think I might miss it and then also not be able to immediately watch it when I get home without worrying about digging for it and being spoiled.
E3 will.
Price and other details will be key then, but here it's just showing off tech demos/features I suppose. The ugly shit will come later like with Vita.

I don't know if i'd go that far. But it's certainly very important. People are hungry for the next-gen. And now all eyes are on Sony for this event. They didn't pick E3, which would be a time where other companies would be announcing stuff along with them. They chose a day where they're on their own. No competition in sight. This is really their chance to show gamers that they've learned from their mistakes during the current gen.
About TLG, specifically, no one outside of core gaming media will care. But that wouldn't be a megaton. They need something unexpected, possibly a betrayalathon. You can gauge what qualifies as a megaton as something not popularly speculated relative to the the event itself. So, you're right, a new console is objectively as big of an announce as there can be in gaming, but something like the next Gears on PS would qualify. A game from a studio that people aren't expecting (ND would count because people suggesting a new ND IP so soon are underestimating how much work that takes). A legit reveal of GT6 and saying it will be a launch title would also be pretty big.

So of the 1200 people attending the PS meeting, how many are journalists and how many are investors? It's not open to anyone else right? Just seems like so many people. I guess a lot of developers will be there too which takes up space.
Haha, I love that you know what it's from.
On topic, 1200 people?! Wow this is going to be so big.
I clarified what I meant by that a few posts up.
This is a ballsy move though and they better know what they're doing.

To me a megaton would be anything that is significant enough to be as big of a deal as the fact that the PS4 is coming out.
So if there's a thread or threads on GAF regarding the event afterwards that is not strictly "PS4 is out" that is as big or bigger than that thread, that's a megaton.
1200 people sounds right for "civilized" visit to Hammerstain Ballroom. Crazy ECW events and standing concerts managed to squeze much more people in that venue.

I hope Sony goes all out with this and puts some pressure on Durangos reveal.
The investors atleast some of them have been shown the PS4. I am talking about those who own in excess of million shares of the company behind closed doors
got a hint that it might have 8 gig ram . Cant say anything more than that sorry
I would love to be paid to go watch this thing!
Then I hope MS reveals their system and puts pressure on Sony again
I want to see these 2 kids go at it again since it only means they will be working harder for your dollar which means we get better products from the both of them.
Bring it on Sony/MS - throw the kid gloves off this gen i'm making some fucking popcorn!

It at least appears that they're extremely confident with what they're going to show this Wednesday. All the reports about the hardware suggest that they've gone a long way to make it the developer friendly device that many people have been asking for. It's also obviously very powerful. Then you have their internal dev teams. Many of the high profile teams haven't released a game in years. Which suggests that Sony has had them planning and building for the PS4 for quite some time.
Just the fact that they're holding it in New York instead of Japan makes it seem like they've got something special up their sleeves.

This is getting exciting.

If Rising wasn't coming out tomorrow I'd be exploding from hype.

An ideal scenario for this meeting would be for Sony to outline the entire launch.
- Console release date and pricing (In all major regions)
- Show launch line up
- Show OS and online features
Then use E3 to talk about the future and roadmap the next 12 months. E3 would also be a good opportunity for 'megaton' announcements like exclusives Ect. to be announced.

It would be great a video dedicated to the current hype about the conference, including references to the kaz gifs.
