Why you’re wrong about the PS4 launch
The PS4 launch was a huge success. Forget what you’ve heard. You’ve probably read on tech blogs that it was too long. They showed too many demos. Worst of all, they never showed the actual PlayStation hardware. How could they have a PlayStation launch without showing the hardware?

This week Sony unveiled the essence of the PlayStation 4 with glimpses of both the controller you’ll be using and the new Eye camera that’ll come with it, skipping the part where you actually see the final hardware. But we know the specifications of the actual PlayStation 4 console unit, and we know how we’re going to use it – so what’s the big deal? The big deal is Sony’s complete dismissal of the modern eyes-on presentation that the public expects here in 2013 – without something I can literally hold in my hands, the PlayStation 4 may as well be vaporware.
