4 Things That Made PS4 Possible

One thing that the PlayStation 4 announcement last week brought home for me was just how much the world has changed since the last time we were introduced to a new Sony console in 2005. Back then, the iPhone didn't exist, consoles and PC were still the only major players in the video games industry, and a console with Internet connectivity was still a novelty to hundreds of thousands of people. These changes are only accentuated by the length of this console generation, which has exceeded any that went before it. It feels like the PlayStation 4 is launching into a completely different world.
