So, let's look on Sony official PS4 video about target users. What we see?

  • Guy lives in a dilapidated, decaying garage
  • No furniture except for ancient snack fridge
  • Only valuable thing is a big LCD TV and PS4 (on a wooden pallet table?)
  • Has gigabit internet connection (seriously, downloading 25 GB game in a minute?)
  • Can spend 60-80$ on a whim because other guy mentioned game in passing
  • Has to watch Youtube cheat movies in background to win games
  • Dumb, unwieldy QWERTY screen keyboard, year after Valve shown them how it is done in Big Picture
  • Friends can invigilate you 24/7, including big screen messages. Tiny Steam popups, anyone?
  • Guy is immature kid that can only communicate with others with text chat. Seriously, the girl is holding a phone, why not ask her in person? Or is that feature simply impossible and you need XBOne with Skype for that? :>

And people say Microsoft is divorced from reality...

I have no interest in either sony or microsofts new systems, they aren't video game systems anymore.

My laptop does everything they do and better. Nintendo at least makes something strange, that my laptop can't do, and is actually a game system, such an odd concept XD

That is a casual gamer... And I like the video, it's cool to have a garage and play video games in it :D, maybe some people don't need cool stuff there... you don't live in the garage, maybe you waste some time fixing stuff or relaxing there, that's what the video is all about. My opinion..

They got a crucial detail wrong about, well, most console gamers. 2 of the 3 people in the video weren't morbidly obese and non of them had pimples. C'mon Sony show it how it is.

I dunno, the shitty apartment devoid of furniture save for an awesome array of electronics seems like a pretty accurate depiction of most single guys I know.

The way I feel when I see stuff like this is that someone, somewhere, made a conscious decision to film this in a garage with the pallet tables and all that other crap. It is a little ridiculous to think that someone living in a garage can afford a PS4, and like you said, buy full priced games at a whim, and I get that they're trying to demonstrate the capabilities of the console and convey a sense of accessibility, but I cant help but feel a little annoyed that they portray their users as kids living in garages..

What's wrong with turning a garage into a personal entertainment centre to relax and play games? It's out of the way and won't bother other inhabitants of the house, it looks nice and cozy where you can sit back and relax with friends and get some privacy.

lol, and people say, microsoft tries to copy Steam?

Thanks for linking the video. I laughed at the info screen because it looks exactly like Windows Metro, with the difference that people hate the look of Metro

LOOOOOL xD @OP please stop being fanboy, just because MS is giving you the middle finger and you're unwilling to accept that, don't try to make Sony looking like MS, overall that would be good description of MS, by wich they treat you as a dumb bag of money, meanwhile Sony is this time around giving the gamers what they want, what value they ask for and the most important of all, "respect". you give your money, you own it! be online, be offline, have a friend?borrow it. you feel disapointed with a game? sell it!! but indeed we're all dirty poor peasants because Sony for once respects us............. #EpicFacepalm
