Just before I went to the land of nod last night I saw this new teaser video posted up by Sony PlayStation which gives us a blurred flashy look at the new upcoming PlayStation 4.
It’s quite the nice coincidence that this is being released the day before the massive Xbox reveal that is happening later today, but what fun would the industry be if everyone was nice to each other.
So first watch the video and then by the end you will likely be hoping that I spent all night screen grabbing those flashes and putting together a mock of what the PlayStation 4 will look like?
Well you’re in luck, no I didn’t do that but someone over at reddit has been hard at work throughout their day and has come up with the following
So what do you think? Personally I think it looks disastrous and prefer another posters version
It seems to be a 50/50 split on how people feel at the moment so don’t be shy please let us know what you think…
Will Sony be brave enough to go with the unique styling of the first example or should we expect them to go the safe route and head in the direction of the second example?

to me it looks a lot like the first PS3, but there’s a saying that goes, don’t judge a playstation by its cover or some shit like !!

You know, game consoles are already such great contraceptives, and by the looks of the first and second pictures, they really want to make sure that we are 100% safe.

Neither of those look particularly attractive to me. The first looks like a disjointed mess & the second like a boring block of plastic.

I don’t think so though … but I’m afraid that the only companies that we are gonna be left with is EA and the likes, but I can’t see consoles fading out…What do you think? Or am I just being naive? It’s kind of hard to even think that the consoles will fade away, in all honesty, it’s too sad ….

Can anyone really blame us for being cynical? with all these trends and with MS marketing the next Xbox as a multimedia device …look at poor Nintey 🙁 it’s as if we are moving further away from gaming with each gen. I hope tonight’s reveal will make me excited. But I am dead scared for mandatory Kinect and always online.

Well, now question week is over (thank fuck) I can actually answer without fear of sounding like some CoD 12 year old (yeah, YOUR mom). I agree. We are all jaded because of all the pandering to the casual market, but one can see why many companies are doing this, they want part of that 1 billion in 15 days. If it takes 8 years to pay off the production of a console, one can see they would do this. If I have to have kinetic, I don’t mind, I DO mind always online. If something has to pay off the machine’s actual awesomness, as in, speed, power etc, I don’t mind taking a slight hit (as long as it doesn’t make me pay, I’ll put up with the occasional ad on my dashboard, I don’t have to buy pizza if I don’t want pizza, said no one EVER! I am cautiously optimistic..
umar bastra
May 21, 2013 at 10:24
Lol yeah I gave up on that one, even though I voted for it.
Yeah look beyond all logical reasoning, it leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. As much as we hate on these companies , we understand why they do the things they do, but all it does is push gaming further away from gaming, if that makes sense, if they all just start focusing on making games, and not how to make max profit, things will start getting better, right now, it’s risky to release a game. With production costs being too hefty, millions are a failure. once I see the focus shifts back to gaming I will be a happy gamer again, but I am excited non the less …. FOR PIZZA!!!! 😛

Question week has been cancelled, irritated even me.
I went through some of the comments today, and apart from still being sick, the comments made my head feel even worse.
It also breaks the effort the guys put in for the articles.
And no, I do NOT have a gun to my head or fear of shaving or banning or anything.
