To those complaining about a lack of details: This early announcement was entirely to build hype and build stockholder confidence. Like every launch you can expect the lion's share of details to come out at E3. This was just PR for the business side of things. I think it's silly to really expect much more than that from an event that isn't one of the big industry cons like E3/TGC/Gamescom.

I'm still excited for the technical implications of this. We're definitely witnessing the approach of a singularity in terms of target hardware; by having more open platforms for porting, the big console companies will have to do more creative things to draw users to their machine in particular, which I think will push innovation in services and peripherals. Which is pretty damn cool to me.

I'm also a long-time Playstation fan so I'm biased but goddamn do we live in exciting times for gamers.
