Joel Taveras writes, "They say that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but we all do it. I especially do it when buying new toys — taking factors such as design into question whenever I purchase any of my own gadgets, only making concessions when purchasing video game hardware. That’s because, with video game consoles, sure, you’ll eventually get your special editions and color variants later on after launch, but for the most part — especially at first — it’s a take what you can get situation. While I don’t mind showing off gems in my game collection, the hardware itself is usually tucked away since it’s not much to write home about considering that console hardware designs usually suck. But, perhaps Sony can change that this year."

Seriously though, if Sony continues on a design roll, Im hoping they can take that momentum and make sure that the PS4 hardware brings the "sexy" to console hardware.
Meme time. :D

I expect ps4 to be water proof and the screen controller to be oled.
Unfortunately if you're not the company to go to (Currently Apple, but Samsung is nibbling away at that) you can't charge premium prices and expect people to buy your items.
If we were still in the 90's - early 2000's then yes, but times have changed, and Sony needs to re-focus their business on innovating new technologies for the future so they can reclaim their "premium appeal" and "mass appeal" across the board.
The Z series both look great, and are top notch phones, but their sepcs. are great for mobile devices that came out in 2012. It'll be 2013, and Samsung and Apple (their greatest competition) will be realeasing new devices as well that will surpass The Z series, and people will stick to their iPhone 5s / 6, and Galaxy 4s.
Sony doesn't need a "we can do it too". They need a "this is how it's going to be from now on." On top of that they need to continue to support the low-end and free phone market out there, because they're one of the better players in that market. If they can get a cutting edge smart-phone out that the moves mobile forward, and improve their lower-end market then they will have their chance to be back in the spotlight of mobile. But until then they're going to be in the same position.
but finally great phone and tablet designs from Sony for Android.
WTG!
But I don't care what the PS4 looks like. I'd rather have it as a plain black generic piece of stackable AV gear. But that won't happen as most people care far too much what something looks like rather than how well it works.
I believe the OS for the new PS4 will be probably similar to this or a more revamped version of the Vita, if the rumors of a screen on the controller are true.
The tablet is amazing though, has 2gb of RAM and is the thinnest tablet in the world atm. Pretty powerful thing if you check the specs out. Hopefully they have some cool apps designed around the PS4.
(My phone is pretty fried atm, broken digitizer. Seriously looking around, so might start here).
Sony HDTVs in 4k and OLED screens in partnership with Panasonic, going toe to toe with LG and Samsung.
And finally the gaming division. Im expecting some thing special with the PS4 and the future of Vita. Backed up with some of the best developers owned by Sony. Throw in Sony music and movie industry and a leaner company and Kaz may yet see Sony back to their best.
