Sony UK boss: "What the PS4 does is more important than how it looks"

4.7
When Sony revealed the PS4, they didn't reveal the console itself. They didn't show off the PS4 hardware, beside from the DualShock 4 controller and the PSEye. There was "a bit of cynism" from fans after the conference, even though Sony presented more important things for a next gen system, PlayStation UK managing director Fergal Gara told sources:

"It's much more important to see what the damn thing does," Gara said. "The shiniest piece of black, green or purple plastic ever, you know, whatever, so what? It's not the most important thing."

As many of you know, the design of something can be it's selling point, aside from the specs of the console and how good a game looks, if the PlayStation 4 console just looks like a mis-shaped box, that may push consumers away.

It won't be ugly, lol


There's no reason for it to be ugly, it's not like they will purposely make it look stupid.

I don't think that the looks will really push customers away, as long as the console is of a high quality and the games are great, people will go for it.

TheCheeseyNINJA Why do people buy beats then? It is because they look good, not because the quality is good! (Because the quality is poor!)


yeah i agree lol


I find quality of beats pretty good! However I have not tried many other brands before so I can't judge.


Beats cannot even compare with Bose and Skullcandy quality. I have $20 knock headphones that are the same as my brothers beat quality


I'll be sure to pick up a pair eventually and try them, then test. I'll see for myself :)

MsFluttershy I hope that sony has decided to actually fix their fatal security errors; a lot better than the last time they 'fixed' them.


They should do that. Doubt it though.


Yeah, would be nice if they did though.
