I really thought they would wait till Microsoft announces it first since Kaz mentioned they don`t want to go first.

Kaz's remark had nothing to do with unveiling first (or later). The way I read them was that he was against the idea of showing your hand too early (Say, last E3).
Going on february or later won't change a thing, now: The SPECS are already locked.

I hope it looks good. That super slim ps3 is an abomination. The OG was sexy as fuck. Slim is okay.

I expect electronics I would want to stick my peen in when it comes to Sony. Just pure sex.

Yeah it's a quickie.

That would be awesome. Seriously, it looks amazing.

I've been throwing around ideas in my head about what the neatest way to introduce the console would be and I think I would be really neat if Sony just started the entire "meeting" with that opening and then it kicked right into the operating system being operated by someone who then jumps right into a live gameplay demo of something; hopefully from Guerrilla Games. After the demo, Andrew House comes out and the meeting begins in earnest.

Man, this is exciting. It has been so long!

Didn't the original release of the PS3 just come with composite AV cables?
Click to expand...

The $599 model (with chrome trim) came with HDMI output on launch day. The HDMI cable was a separate purchase though.

I thought it was pretty clear I was talking about the HDMI output (with it's associated chipset which was still pretty rare/expensive at launch) in my post.

A 'step forward' in what sense? Motion controls are in their infancy this last generation; of course they're not as good as they may potentially become. That's a given. Things take time to develop. [That said, the Wiimote's pointer function was downright fantastic and a definite innovation that the industry wasted horribly.]
Click to expand...
And they are still in their infancy -- and will remain so until I can get the pixel-level accuracy that I do with my mouse and keyboard. I do think both motion gaming and VR have a place but the technology isn't there yet. I have not been compelled.
But 'casuals' - good lord, do I hate that term - are what constitute the majority of money being fed into this industry due to their sheer volume. The reason companies are able to spend tremendous amounts on development is because they are generating revenue somewhere else, more often than not. Home, for example, generates a very healthy amount of revenue for Sony; Kinect has brought in substantial sums of cash into MS's X-Box Division. This gives the companies more flexibility in how they pursue other endeavors and goals that may - just may - benefit you.
Click to expand...
I saw some charts somewhere (there was a thread about it) and though mobile gaming and social gaming (not sure how much longer this one will be around) do constitute a large amount of profit for many companies -- traditional publishers are still dependent on traditional releases. F2P, episodic, etc. all constitute different approaches to delivering a quality product -- and these approaches will play a bigger role. But they are still delivering core content. Planetside 2 and TWD are solid games. If a company can balance casuals with the core -- that's fine. Microsoft, IMO, has not done that. Halo 4 is still on my backlog and I might give Gears a go because of PCF -- but I probably couldn't name a quality Kinect game that appeals to me. And, again, I don't care if Kinect is profitable for Microsoft -- I buy and play core titles -- even if I am a dying breed. I won't be complacent if that changes. They might benefit me (if it keeps the company alive) but they also may not. I don't live in a vacuum and I can understand change -- but I'm as fickle a person you will meet. For over half a decade I used FF exclusively -- until horrendous updates killed the performance of that browser. Last year I switched to Chrome and that was that. Same goes for my switch from Windows to Linux. I know what I want -- and if that means I'm not the target demographic then so be it. Lion for a day...


I'm not suggesting that 'innovation = market acceptance' by default. What I'm saying is that innovation is how this industry has evolved from the very beginning and allowed for its growth over the decades. Yes, I would call the controller innovative - but I imagine it will never be utilized adequately, just as the pointer on the Wiimote wasn't.
Click to expand...
And if it isn't utilized properly -- whose fault is it? The masses for not "getting it?" Or Nintendo? Or publishers? For me, that relegates it to the realm of gimmickry. And, again, I'm pointing out waggle nonsense specifically. OR is more important and more appealing to me than any form of motion control I've come across. Is six-axis an innovation?

And the moment Sony attempts to conservatively fight against Microsoft, they will lose. Badly. They have to do something distinctive; they have to do something innovative that Microsoft cannot easily copy or recreate. Homogenization turns the battle into a war of costs and coffers - and Sony doesn't have an advantage in either.

I agree -- that doesn't necessarily mean more motion controls. I've said this in other threads -- games will satisfy the core -- but multimedia functionality and OS-level features will define next-gen. They'll hook you with games but keep you with features X, X, and X. And for MS, that also means Kinect. For Sony, I hope it means something different.

Super excited to see what takes place at this event! The fact that it's taking place in the U.S. could be huge. Sony typically showcases new hardware at a Japan conference prior to unveiling it to the West. This could mean several things, including that the PS4 is a lock to release in the U.S. this Fall - perhaps even getting it prior to any other territory. I think there's a good chance that Sony will strike first and release prior to Durango. Of course this is all speculation, but it does seem to be lining up this way. Plus we have GDC and E3 to unveil more games and news. This is going to be an amazing year for gamers :)

Get hyped.

Last gen Microsoft went for Japanese games players strongly at the start and then totally dropped the ball. I learned my lesson and will probably be buying both a Wii U and PS4 down the line, so I'm obviously very interested with that...

Yup, we've waited long enough. What used to be the longest console cycle, is now the shortest console cycle.

And I'm not suggesting that 'innovation' is defined by 'motion controls.' Nor have I at any point in this thread. My comment was simple: I want Sony to be innovative. That does not mean by simply copy-catting their way into motion - that means I want them to bring something new to the table. Something meaningful and distinctive. Or else I think they'll get destroyed.

And what you're suggesting is that you want Sony to innovate, which is all I said in the first place. Why are you arguing with me and attempting to characterize my comments as some sort of Nintendo circlejerk?

Because by different and innovative I don't mean motion gaming?

Still enjoying the hell out of the PS3, but I know as soon as this thing is unveiled I am going to be frothing at the mouth in anticipation of getting my hands on one.

I don't think I remember getting an HDMI cable. I think they were component.

Edited it for you. I wasn't talking about the cable. It was the actual HDMI chipset that was so expensive/rare at the time.

I thought that would be clear in the context of my post where I was talking about the supply chain/BOM at the time of of the original PS3 launch, (since I also mentioned things like the Blu-ray diodes,) but I guess I have to spell things out more clearly for some folks here.
