What was wrong with the PS4 launch? Except for the cool introduction video and a few minutes of the expected PR BS about the "Playstation experience" it was purely ordinary talk and demoes of the new features/games by the people in charge of them. It often got quite geeky at times actually.
I really enjoyed the PS4 launch, I was actually surprised at how little fluff there were. I really don't understand what you disliked with the launch, I think it was a really good example of how launches should be done in the future.

- Steko 14y agoA lot of pundits bashed the PS4 launch for not showing the PS4. I'm skeptical how big a deal it was because the kids I game with online couldn't stop talking about the PS4 that night and not one of them mentioned the "controversy" about not showing the PS4. If I was Sony and I inked a deal to get Blizzard games on my console I'd schedule an event the next week to tell the world about it. Huge coup.
- kristofferR 14y agoThose pundits were uninformed - it was generally expected that the console itself would be revealed later, just like with the PS3.
- trafficlight 14y agoWhat kind of product launch is that?
- shardling 14y agoThey revealed the controller -- you know, the way you actually interact with the thing. They revealed some games, and some gameplay footage. They disclosed the specs of the hardware. I fail to see why it mattered even a little bit if we saw what exciting variety of plastic block the console itself looks like. For the most part, it's meant to stay out of sight!
