How Sony Got It's Console Groove Back

Sony is slowly inching its way back into the game.


After a horrendous beginning in the PS3’s lifespan Sony has turned things around in the console wars and is inches away from taking second place away from Microsoft while also developing the best momentum with the best arsenal of games in the past couple of years.

And continuing this momentum is the announcement of the Playstation 4.



To make things simple and clear: The Playstation 4 conference delivered, and righted every wrong Nintendo committed when announcing the Nintendo WiiU. They announced the specs, they answered most of the burning questions, revealed plenty of hardware and software dropped a few upcoming projects. And announcing this before the E3 brings the pressure to Nintendo and Microsoft to truly impress or Sony is going to arrive towards a successful holiday season (Granted they don’t have a ridiculous launch price).



Unlike Nintendo, Sony knew that gamers wanted to know: hardware details, what software to look forward to, and why we should be excited in forking over another $400 to another console. Streaming software, supposed connection to all previous Playstation systems and games, heavy amount of software backed by great third-party support, an expanded multi-player online system, and perhaps biggest of all: Diablo 3. The PS4 seems to be starting to bridge the gap between PC gaming and console gaming by taking one of the best PC franchises out there.

The conference in New York was long, had plenty of information, had barely any downtime, and showed a lot of wonderful gameplay. Sony fans could not be disappointed, there was no way. New Final Fantasy, new Killzone, Diablo III, and the rising favorite Watch Dogs. How can you go wrong?

Sony fans, this month belongs to you. The PS3 has three new JRPGs on the way, released one of the better ones in recent memory, continues pouring a good lineup of quality games in recent years, and have the PS4 to look forward to by the end of this year.



Welcome back Sony.

P.S. Now....about that failing Playstation Vita.....
