I'm a PlayStation guy, for me the console could be horrible, but it won't stop me from getting one

^^^That's a weird thing to say...

A very weird thing to say...

The world stupid fanboys must live in... Really don't know whether it would be a nice place to live or not

zeeshan4018d ago

Maybe, he was referring to the design of the console? Ever think about that?

Sony, seems to always make some funky design to their consoles. I am expecting the same with this console. I guess I am saying, I hope they keep with tradition.

Also, the comment the other Sony exec states, it made me think, what if they allow us to plug our PS3 into our PS4 so we can utilize some of the our files. Its just a thought, don't think they would actually do it.

kreate4018d ago

Sounds really interesting. I saw a ps3 plugged into another ps3 before.

kickerz4018d ago

Well I guess buying it would be like throwing your money out the window.....
Haha just kidding guys

Kingthrash3604018d ago

lol made my day....but how many did he want to buy?......lil guy was makin it rain..lol

I honestly think Sony should partner with Google.
Even on the vita.

Just imagine the instant improvements that would be made. I love my sony devices more than any other, but Sony is primarily a hardware company (not talking about their first party studios) and they've always been a bit behind when it comes to software. Thats the one edge I think MS has had over them. But, they had a partnership with google on a smart tv and the xperia play, why not bring it to the Ps4 and possibly vita as well?

kreate4018d ago (Edited 4018d ago )

Cuz its expensive and u lose control of ur console when another corporation is controlling the os. U also gotta pay royalty fees, Not to mention google gotta be up for it.

I do agree the idea is really good. Maybe every ps would have the google logo and when I access the psn store, it would say

'Ps store is upgrading to google play'

Deputydon4018d ago

Do you two realize that Google TV was co-developed by Sony, Logitech, and Intel and that it's based off Android and Chrome web Browser both of which are... Free to license. That's why pretty much every phone company out there has android devices and why Google barely makes money off of Android.

mochachino4018d ago

The web browser should definitely be Chrome. Wouldn't mind AndoidOS either

nukeitall4018d ago (Edited 4018d ago )

I think partnering with Google isn't really Sony's deal. They always have and likely always will want to control their own eco-system.

The Playstation platform is really the only place they have been able to hold that sort of grip so I doubt that will ever happen.

Sony has to be severely beaten down by MS for them to take such a desperate measure of profit sharing when they are a content holder themselves.

It would be better for Sony to try and buy up a small software company that excels in software or lure over a bunch of MS software designers.

Gimmemorebubblez4017d ago

Prehaps Google TV, considering it was co-developed by Sony.

The George Foreman 4 design complete with drip kit

avengers19784017d ago

I don't really care what the console looks like, I care about how it performs and the games.

miDnIghtEr20C_SfF4017d ago

Why isn't it the same reaction when we give our money to the great Xbox Live. A whole 4 bucks a month to give away, yet people think it's so much money.

violents4017d ago

Its not that its a lot of money, its the principle. You purchase something and half the features are locked out until you buy a subscription, sounds like a bait and switch to me, if the subscription was just to access xbox live for multiplayer purposes and such it would seem somewhat justified, but to use the built in wifi at all for netflix and stuff like that just seems wrong to be charged again to use sevices youve already paid someone for, you dont need to be using up space on thier servers to use netflix or an internt browser.

Canas20104017d ago

I don't think it's the cost of XBL. I think it's the principle that we HAVE to pay in order to play or do anything of worth with the system. Free online play would have made that $4 a month pill a lot easier to swallow.

SatanSki4017d ago

Yep, thats exactly what fanboys do. They throw they money without any thought. Not my style. Not a style at all

You have the same avatar as my girlfriend...you must be a team Jacob fan.

More power to you for actually liking Twilight but I cannot stomach to watch those movies.

OT: I am sure Sony will deliver as they usally design some slick sexy gadgets...my only wish is that they bring back the piano black, I dont give a flying bat about finger prints or dust just give me a shiny black console Sony.

IK IR Y IP T4018d ago

i think it would be nice to go back to that matte grey color ...

KrisButtar4018d ago

An announcement of a possible announcement!?

the article didn't even say if there was going to be an private event before E3. This is as bad as Square Enix coming on the stage at the PS4 event and saying they will have an anouncement for E3

Roper3164018d ago

and that SE announcement will be to make sure you tune into the TGS for a announcement

illtornworld4018d ago

lmao! you hit the nail with that but you forgot Youll tune into tgs for another announcement to wait til next E3 :-) their cycle continues

Williamson4018d ago

Looks like not showing the design of the console on the reveal date was a good thing, better to release more details on ps4 one by one.

Jaqen_Hghar4018d ago

A man agrees. Keeps the hype up and keeps overshadowing their competition.

Clover9044018d ago

That's what most people thought. Anyone who was butthurt because Sony didn't show the console in Feb was obviously shortsighted. Sony is still killing it with every announcement.

LittleBigPlanet 3 Servers Are Officially Shut Down 'Indefinitely,' Sony Confirms

Sony has confirmed that LittleBigPlanet 3 servers on PlayStation 4 will remain offline “indefinitely” following troubles with the service from earlier this year.

Sad day, hopefully they’ll allow a third party server solution. Goes to show game preservation is an uphill battle.

blackblades2h ago

Sad day oh wait everyone that whining about it didn't play it or haven't played it in years and never was going back to it. Funny how people start to care when this happens but when it was actually up those same people didn't even pay attention to it.

What needs to be highlighted by this is that the series has had 4 main games then that go kart spin off yet sony let them all die.

There is 0 games like this on ps5 and to my knowledge 0 first party main kids games no tech demo crap

Sony purchased Media Molecule studio the ip then tossed it away letting it rot for over 7 years yet the community carried on until now were we have lost 16 years on all games of content along with no replacement.

Everyone goes on about ea killing studios but sony has killed way way more but its fine its sony they can do no wrong.

Before the sony blidboys track me down again go fire up your holy boxes all the dlc they tossed out all the trophies and all the user content needs a server side handshake that no longer works. Yes offline single player version 1.0 works but that is it.

Media Molecule was not cut i know but they only made LBP and dreams it was reported they just missed the chopping block
https://gamerant.com/little...

Do not forget the dreams game was tossed out 2020 but 3 years later support was pulled
https://www.digitaltrends.c...

All in all this is another failure at sony on a long long list in the past 10 years

Inverno3h ago

It's kind of hard to disagree when SONY has a history of abandoning many of their IPs. They killed Mod Nation and turnt it into LBP Karting because of brand recognition but left it to die too. They made their own Smash Bros only to rush the studio, and turn the game into an advert for recent release at the time and still let it die. They shut down PS Home for more or less the same reason, they left it to rott till it became too broken and exploited to bother fixing.

just_looken1h ago

This right here

Playstation home is what facebook is trying to make now but in vr that metaverse deal

Imagine if sony kept up ps home development

The death of playstation forums was also a huge loss

u-bEttA-rUn2h ago

Their games were unable to attract the masses every game that came out the attachment grew smaller and smaller they advertise LBP for years the industry changed and then came fortnight... You want Sony to continue to support them which cost them money that they're not getting back from the studio.

Tacoboto4h ago

I feel bad for Media Molecule. For the ideas they have it seems they need a publisher that supports games like this and Dreams especially for as many players as possible.

DOMination-14m ago

Sony in the Andrew House era did support them massively though. They let them do their thing with LBP and spent millions marketing it. I remember one E3 they even used LBP to cover the boring parts of the presentation where they talk about sales figures etc.

And then they allowed MM to announce their game on the PS4 console announcement/showcase event and waited the entire generation for them to release it.
