If you aren't buying consoles for exclusives, you're doing it wrong anyhow.

I'm so outside of the console loop that I'm not even sure what exclusives are even good anymore.

I was under the impression that most games come out on everything eventually.

PlayStation 4 Games To Cost Between $1 and $60

The PlayStation 4 has been officially unveiled, and a number of games were announced (and shown) at the reveal showcase to display its next-gen power. And just like the current generation of titles, each new game will cost between $0.99 and $60 instead of a first-born child.

Apparently stock in first-born children isn’t nearly as valuable as it used to be. Cold, hard cash will have to suffice this generation, it seems.

This news (PS3 game prices, not first-born child stock) came directly from Sony Computer Entertainment president Jack Tretton in an interview with CNBC. Tretton mentioned that since the PS4 is being “designed with the game developer in mind and the consumer in mind,” the prices of games are quite justified, as they’ll provide “hours and hours of gameplay on a daily basis for months and years.”

Seems fair enough, especially since you’ll be able to demo games on-the-fly without a purchase via the PSN. Wait, you didn’t hear? You’ll be able to try a wide swath of games before forking over the cash to play them in full – meaning you’ll only have to slap down money for the games you really want. It’s made possible through Internet magic!

“I think people are willing to pay if they see the value there,” Tretton said. “The heat for the true gamer is on the console.”

PS4 Will Hopefully Cost Less than $600, No Box at Meeting Explained

Spoiler: show

In case you missed it last night, Sony announced — but didn’t exactly unveil — its latest videogame console, the PlayStation 4.

But while the gaming hardware was notably absent, consumers did get a glimpse of some key upcoming game titles, as well as Sony’s plans to offer cloud gaming, more integration with PS Vita, and even some concept games that use Sony’s motion-sensor device, the Move.

AllThingsD sat down with Jack Tretton, the president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment of America, to discuss the future of the gaming console — as well as why Sony didn’t show theirs last night — and Sony’s strategy of “doubling down” on its hardcore gaming audience.

I think it was Sony’s Andrew House who said right off the bat that the living room is no longer the focal point of gaming. Can you further explain this idea and how it relates to the future of the console?

My interpretation is that the living room used to be the only place that gaming lived. Now it’s the primary place, but it’s not the exclusive place. So I still think that sitting on the couch in front of the TV with a powerful console like PlayStation is the nerve center of the experience, but it doesn’t end there — it extends out into the world, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, on smartphones and tablets and dedicated devices like Vita. It’s a little bit scary if you’re a core gamer, because you feel like if you go to sleep, you might miss something.

A good portion of tonight’s event was on game titles, not as much on cloud streaming, mobile or entertainment. Is Sony PlayStation doubling down on its position with hard-core gamers?

Well, I think the console has evolved beyond strictly gaming devices. People expect multimedia capabilities, and that’s certainly a given. But what we’re all about, in our DNA, is the gaming and the gamers. You buy [PlayStation] because you’re a gamer and you enjoy playing games, and you use it for other purposes, but we’re first and foremost about that core gamer that eats, sleeps and drinks the gaming.

I think there are more gamers today than there have been ever before, and the core is really strong, and loyal.

But at the same time, at least in the U.S. market, Microsoft has had the best-selling console for many months in a row now, and they’ve taken a media-heavy approach. What’s your thought on their strategy?

We look at the market in worldwide terms, and every market is extremely important to us. The facts are, we debuted the PlayStation 3 at $599, which was an extremely steep price barrier for a lot of consumers. And we debuted a year after Microsoft, but on a worldwide basis, we’ve sold the same, if not more, devices. I think we’re at 77 million sold right now — it’s basically splitting hairs. Despite all that, our message has been extremely well-received around the world.

Plus, if you look at multimedia services, we’re the No. 1 streaming device when it comes to Netflix, not Xbox. They’re trying to — I don’t really know what they’re trying to do. I’d rather not comment on their strategy. But we’re trying to say we’re all about the gamers and, by the way, there’s multimedia out there. I think the people who tuned in to see this live streaming event, from all around the world, were watching to see the gaming.

Will the new console cost $599 to start?

I certainly hope not. I think we’re very proud of what we delivered with the PlayStation 3 in terms of technology, and that we were able to enhance the features while still reducing the price to $249. But I think our goal with this is to debut at a more consumer-friendly price. But we haven’t made any final decisions about what the price will be at launch.

Why didn’t we see the new console today?

I guess when I think about the console, you open it up, you look at it, you certainly look at it when you insert a disc, but for most people, it’s behind a cabinet or on a shelf somewhere and you spend all your time looking at the screen. And we wanted to show people the screen. There will be multiple opportunities to share the look of the console between now and the launch. We just didn’t choose this first event as the time to show it.

But is it ready?

I mean, we’re certainly capable of showing playable game content, but we don’t have a mass-production box that we can bring out and pull out. That’s still in development in terms of final specs and design.

It wasn’t a big surprise today that there were some cloud-gaming announcements, given Sony’s acquisition of Gaikai. But cloud gaming, especially when it comes to graphics-heavy stuff, can suffer some technical difficulties. How does Sony plan to manage that?

I think that all credit goes to Gaikai, and all credit goes to Sony for recognizing the strength of Gaikai and acquiring them. We’ve cerainly had cloud storage, but Gaikai seemed to be well ahead of anybody else that we saw, and were doing things we didn’t think were possible. So I think the acquisition allows us to do things that are more in line with consumer expectations; allow them to play the games they expect.

And PS4 can play those games. I’ve certainly seen it done that every game we’ve ever published, up through PS3, is playable with no latency. I don’t know if we’re saying we’re at that stage yet, but we think we can get there in the near term.

Current PSN Games Will Not Transfer Over to PS4's PSW

A post on Engadget today has some bad news for PlayStation 3 owners who were hoping to access their data and digitally downloaded games on Sony’s newest console. According to Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida, the PlayStation 4 will not be able to play games downloaded via the PlayStation Network.

The post notes that because the processors of the PS3 and PS4 are so different from each other, playing PS3-era games on the PS4 would prove to be difficult for the new console. The solution that seemed to be thrown out there at last night’s press event will be the incorporation of cloud-streamed games via Gaikai—though, how this will really work remains to be seen.

The x86 APU chip AMD is producing for PlayStation 4 is the “most powerful” APU the company has built to date, according to marketing boss John Taylor.

“Everything that Sony has shared in that single chip is AMD [intellectual property], but we have not built an APU quite like that for anyone else in the market,” Taylor told The Inquirer.

“It is by far the most powerful APU we have built to date. It leverages [intellectual property] that you will find in our A-series APUs later this year, our new generation of APUs, but none that will quite be to that level of sheer number of cores, sheer number of teraflops.”

AMD will offer a cut down version of the PlayStation 4 APU chip, minus Sony’s technology, to consumers later this year.

Metal Gear boss Hideo Kojima has shared his initial thoughts on PlayStation 4. The Kojima Productions boss didn’t watch the PlayStation 4 press conference last Wednesday, but he is interested in the system’s new functions.

“I can say that with every new generation hardware, the capabilities of the hardware increases,” Kojima told IGN. “But up to this point, it’s always been very much of a vertical evolution – of course, you expect things like visual fidelity, audio, frame rate. New features such as 3D capability, etc. These things are a given. They come with new hardware.

“But what I’m really interested in is other ways of expanding into the next generation—a more horizontal expansion where you’re going to be doing things online, more of a social aspect. People will be able to interact with the game through various devices, through various media—such as tablets, smart phones, etc.”

These new types of interaction could be present in the next Metal Gear, according to Kojima.

“And I think it’s a new type of interaction—these new ways of interacting with the game world—that’s more exciting to me. And I want to bring the Metal Gear franchise into that new wider world of interaction.”
