Why Didn’t We See The Actual PlayStation 4 console? Sony’s Boss Explains.

4.5
You would have thought that at a console announcement event, you'd actually get to see the console in question, right?
Well, that didn't happen at the PlayStation 2013 event, and it has left a lot of people confused.

So, sources managed to ask the President of Sony's Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida why there was a lack of the actual console at the event, and he simply said "Why do you care?"

Yoshida told sources "It was almost the other way around. When we planned for this event, obviously we discussed what we should show and talk about."

"As far as the DualShock 4 is concerned we wanted to do the live demo. And we were like, yeah, we have to show the controller, because it's awkward not to show the controller when someone is doing a demo. And also the feature that the DualShock 4 has, the share button, is a very key idea behind the design of the PS4... We really wanted to explain what we've done with the DualShock 4, but as far as the system itself we have to keep something new for later. Otherwise you'd get bored."

Reduction I don't blame them for not showing it yet, would spoil competition between MS and Sony.


I really hope Microsoft does a better job.


So do I, I want to continue with my 360 account, not have to start a Playstation account.


I agree haha, will accounts carry over?..


I don't think anyone knows yet, or i don't at least.


Yes, accounts are carrying over to the 720/next-gen Xbox.

Zwrq I think they just didn't design it yet...


I kinda thought that too.


Sony has been known to do that.


What exactly do you mean by that?
