  • So this is all but confirmed to be PS4, right?
  • And who do I see at 1:18, the idiot who continues to blame video games for gun violence in the face of every expert that comes on his show.

  • i still buy and play ps1 and ps2 games. they are still as amazing then as they are now.
  • This is really heartwarming Sony but don't forget you have a child name Vita and he needs alotta attention.
  • Friday - PS1 Saturday - PS2 Sunday - PSP Monday - PS3 Tuesday - PS Vita Wednesday - ?? PS4 ??
  • Aha.
  • When they show what the PS4 console is capable of, I am going to be VERY disappointed if my jaw doesn't drop. I mean, look how much they're hyping this thing...
  • You know what this is making me excited for? The Next Xbox and getting my Wii U. Sorry Sony. Never been on the wagon.
  • Why are people so excited again? We all know that Sony will please us with just another kind of userless motion crap. I'd laugh so hard... It's like the video of Gabe Newell coming to the stage and announcing what everyone was waiting for: Ricochet 2!
  • Come on PS4

  • I'm enjoying all this hate towards the Sony. The kind of trolling that begins the whole console war thing again only for it to fade later on. Sad little boys
  • I AM THROWING MY MONEY AT THE SCREEN BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING
  • The PS2: The greatest console ever. MGS2, MGS3, KH series, FF series, Jak and Daxter series, Battlefront series, Ratchet And Clank, SotC, Sly Cooper series, and many more great games make this system the best ever. Thank you for the great memories, Sony, and I hope the Orbis can have the same effect.
  • I like how they are not being subtle at all. There point in pretending we don't know what they are planning.

  • The history of the PlayStation is a good one. These videos also make it pretty clear that they're going to announce the PS4 on the 20th, which is going to be great. ^_^

  • My first home console was a PS2. Ahhh, the memories. Nintendo should have made video's like this to promote the Wii U.
  • Couldn't get the videos to load...had to do a system update

  • It's like my childhood, teenage years, and adult life all rolled into one. And damn right you mention ICO! Game is freaking amazing. Still, can't help remembering better times. As much as I like the PS3, the current state of the industry as a whole feels...off. Although I am finding my way back through handheld games and other titles across all platforms that makes me feel less cynical.

  • My PS1 helped me through a bad time in my life.  My PS2 treated me even better.  Somewhere during the PS3 life cycle, Sony kind of died to me.  I still use it a little, but I prefer not to.  Will be interesting to see when / if I get a PS4 (maybe when it becomes $200 cheap).  I also still love my PSP, but have zero desire to get into Vita.
