@@mountaindew3201 Well this didn't age well. Microsoft officially owns Activision-Blizzard now. Can't wait for Xbox to make Call of Duty an Xbox exclusive series. The PlayStation fans are going to lose their minds when it happens.
How time flies... It's been 10 years since this announcement, launch, and OWNING of this console generation by Sony's Playstation 4. I never wanted any console more than the PS4 on launch.
The only moment that could top the PS4 price and game sharing announcement ,was when Sony announced the price of the PS1. "A Brief Presentation" Forever remembered. Simply, straight to the Biscuits....
And they already secured this gen too lol. 35+ million consoles sold in comparison to 18.5 million Xbox, and Series S is outselling Series X lmao. Microsoft looks so dumb right now, still no games years later.
One of my favorite things to watch from all this is the Giant Bomb video where they discuss the confusion around the drm and used games stuff with Xbox. Then the video where Microsoft backtracked on all of it.
6:33 The guy in the far right is totally devastated and cannot believe that PS4 steamrolled Xbox, wasn't he like an Xbox guy? He looks done and Greg is having the time of his life! What a day, What a day!!!
No! Even without taking MSFT and Nintendo into consideration the PS4 Era was amazing, especially if you compared the PS4 success to the Xbox1 and WiiU. The Xbox1 launch was bad, but the WiiU was such a disaster that Nintendo ended their generation after about 2 years and selling only 14mil consoles: for reference the PS5 sold 30mil consoles within 2 years being more expensive at $500 in a global recession/financial crisis due to covid and admist a worldwide chip shortage
Sony has been on top since 1995. Then theyy took a little nap in 2007/2008, and then they came swinging for the fences again in 2009 and have remained the best place to play ever since.
The game cube lol but man them IGN comments sections back in the day use to be bussin! OMG the Gifs/Memes after E3 were EVERYTHING! Anyone remember them IGN @ Night post 😏??? Iykyk
It was even worse than just the reveal of the Xbox One--they put out statements following it that continued to dig their own graves until they finally gave up on their always-online crap.
@@أحمدمصطفىشلبي-ج2ه Hardware arch difference. We all know PS3 graphics was powered by dozens of oompa loompa's running on a hamster wheel. That's why hard as hell to emulate into other hardware architecture. That's why PS3 emulation on PC is also not great, even after all these years.
It was when Sony did that video showing how to borrow your mates games 😂
That video was so hilarious. Sad MS tried to replicate it with the stand of the ps5. Was so dumb
Nail in the coffin
And Microsoft has been playing catch up ever since smh 🤦🏽
And E3 2016 killed all hopes for Xbox ever recovering. Xbox one never redeemed themselves like PS3 did
Xbox still hasn't recovered from that video a decade later. Everyone still remembers it. 💀
If PS4 had backward compatibility or even a store for old games from PS1-3 then it could have been the greatest console ever created.
true ^
PC is backwards compatible with old ps1-4 games
PS4 certainly was severely lacking in the backwards compatibility department compared to its predecessors.
@@ms3862 for $3000
@@ms3862 exactly just buy a PC if u want to play old games but ufbu want next gen games go for the PS4 & PS5
Jack Tretton was like "We support used games & you don't need to be connected online to play" and just like that a generation was won lol.
Kinda nostalgic seeing all those old IGN clips.
Exactly plus seeing so many familiar faces just 10 years younger 😂
It’s crazy to even fathom that the PS5 is outpacing the PS4 yr to yr in sales.
This video reminded me how godly the PS4 was. Oh the memories
The ps4 is almost 10 years old, and it's been one hell of a ride. 💯🙏🔥😎
Those historic IGN videos are making me feel old. Damn!
PS2 and PS4 will remain my favorite Playstation consoles. PS5 is very impressive and will ultimately be added as one of my favs soon.
PS5 is going to have PS2 legendary status

The 2013 E3 was mind blowingly perfect for them. While Nintendo and Microsoft were underwhelming
It was the beginning of the end for xbox. And ps is still killing it

Our boy Colin in the old footage
crazy seeing these old clips of colin and greg back when they were still working for ign
So much nostalgia for that era of IGN. Beyond!
This might be the best original IGN video I've seen in a long time 👏👏
How time flies... It's been 10 years since this announcement, launch, and OWNING of this console generation by Sony's Playstation 4. I never wanted any console more than the PS4 on launch.
Nice to see Colin so heavily represented in this video after so many of his colleagues and the gaming industry in general turned their backs on him.
Daemon hasn't aged a day in 10 years.
This was such a blast from the past, would love to see more stuff like this!
So many old faces, can't belive don't see them for such a long time.
PlayStation is the goat 🐐 💙
That one man pulled out a GameCube 🤣 wtf
That was the limited edition square ps4. Duh
😂😂😂
Shoutout to Colin.
The PS4 walked so the the PS5 could run 😄
This is how you share games on the PS4 🤝🏼😂😂😂
The real rewind is seeing Clements and Colin in an IGN video again, even if they were old clips!
The only moment that could top the PS4 price and game sharing announcement ,was when Sony announced the price of the PS1.
"A Brief Presentation" Forever remembered. Simply, straight to the Biscuits....

Announcing Shenmue 3, FFVII Remake and the Last Guardian, back to back at E3, when MS were fumbling over Kinect was just epic.
What people remember most about the reveal of PS4 is the reveal of Xbox One.
Daemon introducing himself like we dont all tune in all the time ;p
This video is so cool. Looking forward to more IGN Rewinds.
LOVED FM3's unboxing @ 12:48 lol!!
2:30 that design is pretty cool. Wish they kept it
And they already secured this gen too lol. 35+ million consoles sold in comparison to 18.5 million Xbox, and Series S is outselling Series X lmao.
Microsoft looks so dumb right now, still no games years later.
Lets go baby!
Wow IGN throwing old school Colin footage in here. Bout time
The ps4 was an awesome machine
Everyone unboxing was just the best type of chaos
One of my favorite things to watch from all this is the Giant Bomb video where they discuss the confusion around the drm and used games stuff with Xbox. Then the video where Microsoft backtracked on all of it.
Omg the GameCube Fran unboxed at the end of the PS4 table killed me!! 😂
Neat to see the old Podcast Beyond hosts, Longislandviper and Ryan Clements!
6:33 The guy in the far right is totally devastated and cannot believe that PS4 steamrolled Xbox, wasn't he like an Xbox guy? He looks done and Greg is having the time of his life! What a day, What a day!!!
How does the video color grading look better on the old footage than it does on the segments that were just filmed for this video???
save your time. huge annoucements at 3:14
12:01 That's a nice limited edition PS4 you got there, Fran xD
Sony took advantage of MSoft's botched Xone reveal.
8:00 the man on the right looks like Paddy from Emmerdale when he had hair.
Early 8th gen takes me back, it was one of the most miserable times to be a gamer for me.
Xbox doing every single thing wrong while at the same time Playstation was nailing what fans wanted was insane.
The One with the gamecube 😂
Fran with the GameCube is so funny
*PS5 is* 👑
Loving that Bylt shirt. Got that tank tops in the same colorway
And it went on to become the most successful console of all time.
Damn miss Greg and Colin together
Launch day is so amazing 😊
It’s not hard when your competition trips at the starting line.

And continues to trip every year.
@@ulrichleukam1068 they still sell brand new ps4 in the stores
This was a brilliant video
Furthermore when it came to Japanese games the PS4 was pretty lackluster in this regard. The PS3 was a 1000X better in regards to this.
PlayStation is here to stay since 1998.
Very impressive!
Ign was amazing back then
They also released great games…
Hell ya Nick!
Would like to see one of these for the Gameboy micro
Call of Duty Marketing Rights....
Sony has been on top since 1995. Then theyy took a little nap in 2007/2008, and then they came swinging for the fences again in 2009 and have remained the best place to play ever since.
7:49 in one swift blow the console war was won
When all of the ign cast unboxed the ps4's that was the funniest thing they did for years 😂
Great video.
PlayStation 4 💙💙💙💙
The unboxing 😂. Best ever.
It's called GAMES.
12:32 or 12:33
It was fun back then
The game cube lol but man them IGN comments sections back in the day use to be bussin! OMG the Gifs/Memes after E3 were EVERYTHING! Anyone remember them IGN @ Night post 😏??? Iykyk
Ninja theory video games 🎮 are super cool
Man they had 0 games for years at launch except remasters and indies.
Great video about the history of ps4. They should make one for the Xbox.
Even as an Xbox and PlayStation fan, seeing Microsoft get punished for what they tried to force was wonderful in 2013.
The mass PS4 unboxing in the IGN office is hilarious 😂
ps2 might have been sony's most popular console but ps4 is sony's gut puncher
Xbox 360 and PS4 the last great consoles. Back when exclusives meant exclusives and were t ported to PC
Not the PS being 500$ without ever going on sale and the XSX being 349$ lol.
Sony was the first to go ultra instinct. The unboxing is hilarious 😂🤣🤣.
Still waiting for that PS *5* Pro...
Thats why xbox is not a gaming company. There a software company that for some reason cant make games lol
They should drop out the race then
@@ritzkola2302
No, we need Xbox to do well. We need to keep Sony in check. Because Nintendon't and Nintenwon't.
And ign told us - "xbox will win" then "you can't see the difference between 720p and 1080p" and "the future is mobile gaming"
@@KingJohnMichael no it was the xbox "journos" at ign when discussing ps4 cod being 1080p and xbone cod being 720p
Xbox still haven't recovered and Sony just posted the highest ever Q1 sales for any console

BLOODBORNE.that game make me bought ps4.
Sony obliterated the xbox one before any of those consoles even released lol.
PSN was completely free until the PS4 came around. The ultimate betrayal

Playstation now, just another console in your home room.

*Xbox fangirls like “this is a monopoly”*
Xbox one lost when Sony did that video game sharing video😂
