PlayStation 4?

I don't see how it is, I actually find it more of an effort to use the d-pad on the ps controller.

I can use either controller very comfortably.

The PS Controller is way too small, the XBOX controller fits in your hands with perfection, and you don't even have to move your thumbs

All the social features sound pretty cool, but if I was to buy the PS4 the first thing I'd do is figure out how to turn them off.

So Sony finally get it right by revealing the PS4 before the Xbox, then don't bother showing the console. Fucked that right up.

I dont think they've had any problem when it comes to marketing, talk of the PS4 is everywhere. They probably dont even have a final design down for the box itself either.

Actually, I reckon Sony definitely do have a problem with marketing. Talk about the product is fine (but the question is, have they announced too early will Xbox steal their 'buzz' can they keep momentum etc...) but it doesn't necessarily correlate with excitement. Ever since the PS3 where Sony had issues with bizarrely using the Spiderman font I think they've really struggled to shake the image that they are a cold, clinical company.

They've really struggled to sell the PS brand in the last few years.

You say that but for all we know Xbox could be panicing like mad now, they might not even have a console thats ready to release this Christmas and Sony have forced their hand. Also there is still plenty to come from Sony i imagine and now they've had this announcement they can have a whole E3 press Conference to talk games rather than having to split it with the console announcement

I doubt Sony have surprised Microsoft, they might not be ready to release but everyone knows both companies have been developing new consoles for ages.

Well yeah but if MS were planning on launching next spring and Sony have said the PS4 will be out this xmas then thats alot of time for MS to make up, either way people would have analysed what Sony have done weather they announced before MS or after people will come out and say it was too soon or too late.
