As you may already be aware, Sony took the wraps off its latest games console on Wednesday (Feb 20). Well, it talked a lot about what to expect, but didn’t actually reveal the console itself… which was strange.

This is the PS4 announcement in under four minutes. With an added commentary track making the whole thing much more interesting than it actually was.

The PlayStation unveiling was a staid affair. I should know, I watched the whole sorry saga live online. It was dull thanks to the technical jargon used in favor of actually showing the machine for real.

There were some games on display, but most of the footage was of video sequences rather than actual playable action. Watch this video instead of the real thing. Trust me, it’s far more amusing.
