Sony UK boss: "What the PS4 does is more important than how it looks"

4.7
When Sony revealed the PS4, they didn't reveal the console itself. They didn't show off the PS4 hardware, beside from the DualShock 4 controller and the PSEye. There was "a bit of cynism" from fans after the conference, even though Sony presented more important things for a next gen system, PlayStation UK managing director Fergal Gara told sources:

"It's much more important to see what the damn thing does," Gara said. "The shiniest piece of black, green or purple plastic ever, you know, whatever, so what? It's not the most important thing."

As many of you know, the design of something can be it's selling point, aside from the specs of the console and how good a game looks, if the PlayStation 4 console just looks like a mis-shaped box, that may push consumers away.

ME0W I would prefer it works better over it looking better, but couldn't they do both?


Yeah I want good internals but if the case just looks like sh*t that demotivates me.


Yea, me too.

I agree with you, if it just looks good, then I will put it in a glass jar to stare at.

Leedlez I think it will be a nice looking console, that sucks for playing.


No one knows yet, could be good. Everyone assumes it's bad because of how Sony went downhill with the PS3. When really they have good consoles till they had faults with the PS3. Which made them look bad. I'm still giving Sony a chance, everyone makes mistakes, and not just one.

Or ugly console with amazing hardware.

You pubescents can have the former, I'll take the latter.


A bit harsh, but I agree.

How it looks is indeed a factor in selling the product, but also what is more important is how it runs and what it contains.
