Gi - What is up with Sony jumping the gun on their next-gen console? Well, it is not necessarily jumping the gun… The timing is just about right. Late 2013 is a very appropriate time for the next generation of gaming consoles to come out. But, it has been a month now since Sony announced the PS4 and gave its “details” about how it’s going to change the future of gaming, and the “details” were sparse and pretty unsatisfying.

If it was too early/too little, no one would be talking about it ;)
PS4 will prevail.
I dont think it is early either. Its been a long generation and they're second to announce the next console.
By saying ps4 announcment is early what does that say for the Wii u ?
Tell that to the fucking gigantic HYPE TRAIN that's everywhere -_-
In the article the author should have made this clear from the door. I say this because later he says, 'where is the physical system', and I stopped reading after that.
After that I quit reading.
If Sony announced all this at E3 it would of blown everyone away and hijacked MS launch if indeed they intended to stay with same pay subscription model with minimal improvements. As much as im excited about the new PS4 features i cant help but think MS are taking detailed notes.
I'm sure the mobile market is different as companies usually show their specs and features within max 1 months of launch. Sony are waiting until the fall which gives MS enough time. Im just voicing concern that's all.
I'm not sure if you noticed but Sonys Press Video was the most watched video that month. There are even some 360 owners talking about purchasing a PS4. Whether their minds will change when Microsoft reveal their system, we'll have to wait and see. Sony has created a hype train of great magnitude and it is smashing the sh*t out of the Internet right now. I have friends who are die hard Microsoft fans and they have been to gamespot and added their names to the PS4 first to know list. Another thing you don't realize is that it wasn't set in stone when Microsoft were going to announce their console. Sony decided one thing and that was that they were taking the first shot (I truly and honestly do not consider WiiU as next gen). Now I can only see great things coming from this. If like you said Microsoft took notes then it will just make it a much more competitive next gen and that's exactly what we need. We need the big 3 to stay competitive and we will always have great games to play.
Ms is smart but they are losing ground at an astonishing pace. How many games will they actually have if they launched November ?
And finally , rumours are bad . Sony pretty much confirmed every GOOD rumour about their system. Ms now must do at least the same and thats a lot of pressure
"Will you have to throw away your PS3 games?"
He expects everything to be revealed at once, like what MS is probably going to do.
Brings up BC, the actual PS4 case, and some other info not being revealed.
A really pointless opinion piece.
Bet thats what his partner said in bed.....
They announced the console, showed us the specs then showed us some exclusive games and multiplats. Then they have shown us their support for indie developers at GDC and some more info with the system

I imagine they will show the console and price and also have a full blowout of exclusive and third party games at E3. What's there to complain about really?
If it was meant to convince, the best this piece can do is affect only cult like-minded people. Otherwise it is useless.
Don't worry, good or bad, very soon I'm sure much of the talk will switch over to Microsoft once their new console is finally revealed. Just be patient. :D
Than, a sudden delay, and guess what? Those games didnt match the hype,
In fact Sony s history is full of crap. I dont believe them till i see it running live and colour
OT: More like, just enough, great timing! Silly article is silly (the 10% I read of it).
I would say they delivered a lot more than Microsoft did with it`s fake Kinect videos, which wasn`t anything close to what they showed first with Milo etc. So many companies does it unfortunately.
But you do know Killzone Shadow Fall was running live on the presentation right? I`mean they even played the same demo on Jimmy Fallon:

The same was said for the new Infamous game, so they definately showed the goods this time around.
I would also say the PS4 is looking a lot better than the next Xbox so far, with great graphics, 8gigs ram, developer friendly etc. The Xbox has a lot of negative rumours going around and will have to deliver a great show when it`s shown for the first time and putting those rumours to rest.
first i was suggesting the fact that they anounced fullhd 60 fps on all games, back on 2005, second, im hapy with ps4 new direction, just a bit disapointed for the AMD route, to me, a console should be a console, the milions invested on cell, they should been invested on a gpu, not a crap AMD lowspec budget line gpu.
were talking of moving milions of thing on screen several times a second, the more the best, dont tell me they cant, cause they own cinema studios and AMD does not produce cinema quality render gpus like other dedicated companies, they just looked for a near free console just to publicite a new proprietary hardware of a near broke company. period
Well, most probably if not Microsoft surprise us, they`re going to have the best console graphics wise again, which is enough for me.
I`m really glad they went with 8 gigs of ram at least. Just seeing what their own studios does with The Last of Us, GOW:A and Beyond makes me confident they`ll deliver fantastic games for PS4 too.
And they never said all games was going to be in 1080p and 60 fps. Just that it was possible with some games.
Everything announced has pleased me. I have plenty to go on. E3 will be all about games and detailed services. Good news.
Boy i tell you there is alot of hate towards Ps4 because its looking to do alot more than said persons console of choice!!!
Vague details my #ss they showed and talked more than most bs reveals do. Most reveals talk about crap, show tech demos that never get realized and steer clear from any hardware aspects. Ps4 did quite the contrary even showing live demos and gameplay of games already in production for ps4. Beyond that they gave some good info on specs.....
You take this article and your bs somewhere else. And please carry with you tissue during E3 because Sony is going to tear the house down!!!!!
The 360 came out a year before any other console. No problem with that.
Sony has provided a lot of information about the PS4 and they are saving some more announcements for later.
Meanwhile M$ has not announced anything. That's what the this guy should be talking about.
People love to hate.
by Sony get be people hyped,get as many developers aboard as they can E3 gonna be one for the record books.
