An almost idyllic than Sony not enjoyed since the golden days of the first PlayStation (1995) and its successor stage, the PlayStation 2 (2000), which remains the best-selling in history, with over 155 million console. Also specialized media and, above all, studies that make games, have been responsible for inflating the phenomenon. Not a day goes by without some industry guru sing the virtues of the new PS4. It is clear that the wind blows in your favor.
What Sony has done well? And above all, what your competitors have done wrong? Mark Cerny, the brain behind the PS4 and seasoned programmer at Atari and Sega, among other companies, for six years sought the views of more than 30 studies to know exactly what hardware fit better with their creations. They were long conversations with the ultimate goal of designing a console that did forget the Playstation 3, the most unfriendly Sony machine to have its own exploit technology that greatly hindered its qualities.

Electronic entertainment giant hopes its partnership with artisans industry to serve a public shuttle more casual and sporadic.
take off the PlayStation 4 has greatly influenced the complicated gestation of the Microsoft Xbox One, with conflicting messages that have shocked many fans. “Currently, the advantage we have is three to one compared to Microsoft. PS4 With that gap will be higher,” predicts Armstrong. Faced with the dual soul of its competitor (middle console, media center half), the Playstation 4 claims to have been designed just to play. The other entertainment (watching TV, surfing the Internet, listening to music or share achievements with our contacts) are in the background. “PlayStation is the place to enjoy traditional games, big productions that are like Hollywood blockbusters,” sums Armstrong.
Sony expects to sell 5 million Playstation 4 worldwide in the next six months. “During that period who buy the console is the player most hardcore . That is our goal,” says Armstrong.

Sony strategists rely on to breathe life into your laptop, which has gone unnoticed two years at the market. The current recessionary environment favors the romance between the two devices, according to Armstrong. “The phenomenon of the game on two screens is very interesting, especially in Spain, where the crisis because most younger than 30 years have not been emancipated and have to share the TV lounge with the rest of the family.

One of the duties of the game remains PlayStation Network. Now that the model is definitely a surcharge, Sony has no excuses and will have to improve the overall experience and performance of the servers, well below Microsoft’s offer. Sony will continue giving away games every month to those who pay the annual $ 50 fee for the connection, a strategy that has catapulted sales of Playstation 3. Resogun and Contrast (a game of puzzles and platforms with an air noir) are the titles chosen to inaugurate the Playstation Plus service in PS4.
Many analysts expect an early decline of traditional consoles, but seeing the vigor with which have debuted the new PlayStation and Xbox, these predictions have to park them, at least for some time. “In the games there are many vested interests, a lot of technology that struggles to control the market. We will continue doing what we know. Much is said, mobile phones and tablets gaming experience is not the same. In the world of technology, what goes down and everything goes down. Allah will say what happens in five years, “concludes Arsmtrong. Much has to change things so that, at least in Spain, playing video games longer play pley .
