You know why apple outsells these guys? they don't make these shitty 90s-like videos anymore Jokes aside, heres the thing: 5" HD (like the iphone4) OLED screen Awesome CPU (according to sony) Propietary flash media so it can't be pirated (yeah right...) Sub-PS3-level graphics (but not that far really) Back touchpad and a touchscreen, don't know if it's multitouch (it better not be a piece of shit resistive...) Two cameras, for augmented reality and junk. 3G, so telcos can rape kids too young to have cellphones too. Bunch of dumb features nobody will use but they have to add them because even my toaster comes with that shit today... EDIT: here's the official specs: CPU: ARM® Cortex™-A9 core (4 core) GPU: SGX543MP4+ RAM: TBD Storage: Unidentified "new media" for games, on-board Flash storage Display: 5 inches (16:9), 960 x 544, Approx. 16 million colors, OLED Wireless: 3G, GPS, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR (A2DP/AVRCP/HSP), WiFi IEEE 802.11b/g/n Inputs: Multi-touch screen and multi-touch-sensitive back panel, D-pad, L/R shoulder buttons, standard PlayStation buttons Out for xmas 2011, no word on price yet Now a bunch of pics from WiP games, just like those GTmobile videos we saw back in 04........and got the game in what, last year? Yet IMO it's looks 10x better than the 3DS...
Yeah but that was a cutscene at 20FPS. Impressive, but theres no way actual games will be that detailed.
Looks fantastic, I'm preordering as soon as they become available. The unit itself looks ok but the screen/hardware/analog sticks make up for it. And look at that Yakuza screenshot!
how much? like $700? That is what the motorolla tablet is going to sell for. They keep wanting more and more for this shit. I simply CANNOT give that much of my resources for something that only i will play... family and all.
HOTDAMN thats a good looking console. Well done Sony, I will be buying this over the 3DS no matter the pricepoint. I really do hope its under $300 though..
Xmas?? Was hoping this would be out a lot sooner. I want it, I'm not sure about all of the touch/3G and camera crap but as a straightforward console it looks awesome. BUT...why can't sony give in and rest the analogue sticks under the thumb and put the d-pad as the secondary input. I find it so awkward.
Well it certainly looks very nice. I'm getting an iPhone4 feeling when I see it from the front and side. It also looks like Sony have managed to harness the power of magical unicorns as there's a white one in the videos. The real question now is the price.
I'm interested in the 3G aspect of it. So does this mean there's a SIM slot somewhere and I can pair a bluetooth headset with it? If this could replace the shitty 20 quid phone from 3 that I use for work, that would be awesome.

That Uncharted demo is amazing, I wonder if it will look that good once AI and everything else is running.
