Sony owns 12 studios that only make PlayStation games, and it should come as no surprise that many of those studios are focused on making PlayStation 4 games. But in a conversation with IGN, President of Sony’s Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida – the man basically calling the shots for every PlayStation exclusive – confirmed that every studio in Sony’s stable is making PlayStation 4 games.

The question posed to Yoshida was simple: “Is it fair to say that all of the first party studios are working on PS4 games?” Yoshida’s answer was just as simple: “Is it fair or not fair? It is fair to say.”

Every Sony-Owned Studio is Working on PS4 Games - IGN

An abundance of classics are about to be released.

Here's a good article about the tech in PS4 and how it stacks up against a PC. He makes a compelling case as to why PS4 is the future for PCs

PS4 vs the Great Discord | Bradford Taylor

There I saw so many comments on how someone’s PC “kicks the shyt out of the PS4 specs”, how others feel like this wasn’t a “substantial leap over PS3″, that “demoing a single head isn’t very impressive, nvidia did it a few years ago.” I continued to read many statements from others stating how they think many PS4 titles will still run at 720p. Some adding “the majority of users wouldn’t make the differences between 720p and 1080p.” Some tech sites were just as bad about this, it was hard to tell if they were just going after hits. PC Gamer even put out a tasteless article (here) trying woefully to put together a comparable PC rig. They complain about the lack of power they think is in the PS4, but then go on to make statements like “it seems like massive overkill to me, so I’ll recommend 8GB of DDR3 RAM.” I can’t help but feel how much misunderstanding there is and how that goes around as blanketed statements.

great find & wonderful read.

I think we are about to see some very impressive & special games from the PS4.

“We’ve got a year to sell as many of these things as possible.”

Two Xbox bosses bellowed at each other in the aftermath of 360′s Games Convention press conference in 2005. The atmosphere crackled with “go”. Xbox 360 was to beat PlayStation 3 to market and Microsoft knew it had sledgehammered its way into the console industry’s executive bathroom. Chests were puffed. Sony was stuffed. Microsoft benefited greatly from an early Xbox 360 release, especially in America. You have no competition if you’re the only option available.

The same can be applied to mind-share. Going first works.

Commentators call it “first-mover advantage” for a reason. Microsoft’s strategy left Sony in front of a wincing crowd the following year, where it was forced to claim that “the next-generation doesn’t start until we say it does.” It was one of the most ridiculous statements in gaming’s last decade. Microsoft said nothing. It just started.

What a difference a generation makes.

Microsoft exec John Grimes belittled the Sony reveal the week before it happened, saying the “majority of UK consumers won’t know” about PlayStation 4 as a result. This was as puerile as Hirai’s damage control in 2006. PlayStation 4 was front-featured by every news organization in the world. Everyone knows. Sony grasped the opportunity to own the first real news of next-gen games hardware in six years and the world dropped its pants. We didn’t even see the box.

PS4 is real. Microsoft can claim irrelevance, but the next generation has started. Sony said so. And Microsoft did not.

While PlayStation 4′s reveal in New York last week has been just as often criticized for its lack of creativity as it has been praised for its solidity, there’s an inescapable fact related to the entire shebang: we’re all talking about PlayStation 4. Microsoft is now left with everything to prove at its reveal event – supposedly being planned for April – and right now the concept of the next-generation in 2013 belongs to Sony. If this is round one, Microsoft just got its nose spread all over its cheek.

To add insult to Microsoft’s injuries, fresh rumors are circulating regarding Durango’s spec. Apparently the machine is woefully underpowered compared to PS4, with some now saying they don’t expect Microsoft to even talk raw tech when it announces the machine. Conversely, Sony’s finding it easy to shrug off its reputation for creating expensive, obtuse hardware, with PlayStation 4 being a powerful, cheap console that’s easy to work with; exactly the strategy Microsoft used to launch Xbox 360.

Also consider that Sony held its reveal event in New York, not Japan. Guerrilla boss Herman Hulst turned up on Fallon immediately after the show, playing one of the best-looking console games ever created and talking about track-pads and Share buttons. Talking about PlayStation 4. In front of millions of Americans. The next-gen Xbox will be invisible to the US for months.

If the Xbox execs aren’t cringing then they’re foolish indeed. While Nelson’s been forced to resort to slagging Sony off on Twitter, we’re finally starting to see publishers make next-generation announcements, announcements of which Nextbox (we don’t even know its name) currently plays no public role. There was a boat. There was only one boat. And Microsoft missed it.

The Xbox team, no doubt, will have much to say in April. We will see Phil Harrison on stage for the first time extolling the virtues of a Microsoft platform, and we’re sure to see some attractive software. But right now the only future platform is PS4. At this moment, Sony owns the next round.

Will the next-gen start when Microsoft says it does? That we can even ask the question represents one hell of a risk on Microsoft’s part.

Denny said of the launch line-up: "With PlayStation 4 what's exciting is we can see the strength in depth of titles come through - not just in first party but third party, and I really believe PlayStation 4 will have the strongest launch line-up we've ever had."

As well as the core genres represented by Killzone and Drive Club, Denny assured that the PlayStation firm is committed to taking creative risks on PS4.

"I think there are big genres that we want to cover but we want to innovate within them and move them on," he explained.

"What we wanted to do last night as well by giving a glimpse of games that aren't in production - Media Molecule's insight into their concepting process and prototype they came up with - is that we will take risks and do things that are surprising, a bit different and that will hopefully excite our fans."

The exec added that there is "absolutely" more to be unveiled for the PS4 launch window.

"This was the first announcement, it was an early announcement, and as I said this was really to set the agenda and to get it clear to everybody what those design pillars were for PlayStation 4, what the ethos is behind PS4, who it's aimed at and getting the game development community on board," he said.



All i hear is crickets for Durango announcements. They arent very excited about their new product so why should i be.

That was seriously the worst article I think I might have ever read.
If somebody talks about the ps4, they talking about the xbox 720 as well
And them having this reveal in NY is supposed to make GAMERS forget the xbox exist? And Jimmy Fallon helps that perception even more?
Why, didn't realize Jimmy had that much power.
I guess when xbox does reveal its system, everyone will be like "Nah, I'm waiting for Knack and that puppet game from Media Molecule!!!"

Its literally IMPOSSIBLE for M$ to have a lesser event. They could be showing off just Xbox 360 games at the April event and it'll be better than the ps4 reveal. You didn't even provide a link to your story, but here's a reputable site saying the opposite...

X box reveal is going to be championed by American media but generally by consumers. Im positive the thread for xbox reveal will be lackluster and will not do numbers like that. People are just more interested in Playstation and Sonys TRUE next gen system. Microsoft, with their terribly spec'd product has old execs who think gimmicks are the way to win this gen but sadly, they're out of touch with why we game. Kinect is going to be the downfall of the xbox 720. HOpefully, they dont make it the focal point of their show. After gears, halo we have an hour show about kinect? Smells like a flop is cooking, friend.

Resistance is futile, xbox and there weak azz system is donezo.
