Imagine if you went to the launch of the new Beyonce album and she showed you the cover, played a couple of drum loops, and let you hear some recordings of her mumbling.
"Is that it?" you'd ask. "Yes!" she'd reply. "It'll be finished in eight months and it'll be awesome!"
The PS4 launch was a bit like that.

please people just stop with it, it's embarrassing.
People are just looking for something to complaint about. Had Sony shown the console they'd come up with something else.
Of course, when Sony's competition has a conference, many of these same people will be the first to declare it a failure based on what's not shown.
Then the next day on the newspapers I read all these articles about Sony failing to announce the PS4 properly because they didn't show the PS4.
And it got me thinking? Who cares what the PS4 looks like? Sure it is nice to have a sexy looking console but do you buy a console because it is sexy looking?
What is the most important think you want from a console? Good specs? Good games? A comfortable controller? A smooth OS with good features? Aren't those the most important things you need?
Those are the ONLY things you interact with when you are using a console and those are all the things we got to see.
That is why I as a "gamer" walked away please with a smile on my face and a positive attitude for the PS4 release next Christmas, while "casual gamers" the people who want phones that are "designed for humans" or console that will help you loose weight, walked away thinking the presentation was a failure.
Because you wouldn't buy a tshirt if you didn't know what it looked like right? So the most important thing of a console you want to buy to show of would be the cool design of its box!

Not only will we get the solid release info (outside of holiday 2013), but we will get the pricing AND what the hardware looks like. All of this is important... and not showing the hardware will create some easy buzz for Sony going into E3.
Once the picture of the PS4 comes out every newspaper tech magazine and only gaming news site will have to publish it along with a second article about the PS4.
Now if Beyonce announced she was making a new Album, I doubt the same day she would give you the album cover full track list and exact release date.
Story Quality WTF?
You'd think a site like techradar would understand that fact, instead of leading into their article with that nonsense.
A more apt analogy would be "Beyonce sang a couple songs from her new album, but didn't show the cover art."
Because that's exactly what they (the haters) are complaining about--the lack of cover art.
media and people complaining are acting really retarded about this for the dumbest of reasons.
The trend of the article seems to follow that they wished EVERYTHING would have been revealed. Sounds like someone feels entitled. Realistically, its quite sad that people cant put the obvious together (i.e. Sony saving some information for latter events) and would rather bitch and moan about a non-issue.
2. You were an idiot for expecting the price to be revealed at this point
3. They are clearly still working on the Gaikai services so they couldn't have given a specific release date even if they wanted to.
If anything, the main make or break form factor is the Controller...and the DS4 looks great
Anything for a few hits, eh? It's going to be a shiny black box with ps4 written on it.

These sort of articles should NOT be approved.
He's just pissed that Microsoft is in the dark now and have choice but to guess on whats cool looking.
I wont be surpriced if they released the Xbox in an actual square box. . . .
This along with the Xperia ZL! Sony is about to return to its glory days!
Having been deeply offended to find the fact Sony only made one (FULL) Gran Tourismo game on PS3.. I figured that Sony did not live up to their PS3 promise..I was going to Jump ship.. but I said if they don't put in 8 GB of Fast Ram in PS4! I wont even bother looking. But now Sony Got it Right!!!
I am excited for Sony and they are Doing amazing things once again..
4K and Bravia Technology!, Their Superior Slim Aps-C Cameras and Theater SXRD Projectors and HDFC Cameras!!Bluray Technology,
Now ad to the list !
PS4 and Xperia Zl!!!
My mouth is watering!!Thank You Sony!
Its like the movies when they show you a teaser or preview, you don't get angry because they didn't show the whole movie.
