The reason Sony didn’t actually give us a look at the PlayStation 4 on Wednesday was because they don’t know what it’s going to look like either

It’s been a long wait since the PS4 rumours first started to circulate and we finally thought on Wednesday at the big hyped announcement that we’d get a look at the machine that will rule our lives for the next few years.
Alas, that didn’t happen, and there was a lot of hype around an announcement for what was essentially a controller with a share button on it.
It seems though, that the reasoning behind this wasn’t some plot to keep the hype for the PS4 running, but something much simpler…they don’t know what it’s going to look like either.
When speaking to The Guardian, Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida revealed that there are still a number of prototypes on the desks at Sony and they haven’t made a decision yet.
They weren’t going to be rushed into anything either, as he himself said that he wasn’t concerned about showing off the unit at the event: “I was criticised when I said, why bother [to] show the case? Who cares?…A box is a box to us [game developers]!”.
So while we know a few things already about the PS4, it looks like we’ll be waiting a little while longer to actually see it while Sony figure out what it’s going to look like.
