It looks like Adam Boyes had the most difficult position, because as publishers and developers relation, I'm guessing his job was to stand in the middle of a crossfire, asking everybody to stop shooting.
Hopefully he convinced some third parties.

Looks like that decision is also up in the air for MMOs. At least for FFXIV.
If I recall correctly, MS made a Live Gold exception for FFXI when it launched on the 360. Might not be a bad idea as a standard policy for MMOs and maybe F2Ps.
I believe we can count this as double confirmed. One of the most confirmed of confirmations.
does that qualify as a truthfact?

No sir.
Truthfact is nothing less than triple confirmed. Typically with sources from at least 2 different nationalities, ideally with 3. The different nationalities part is vital. 
No. First rule of Truthfact is you never talk about it in the clear.
Second, no confirmation needed because it cannot be confirmed directly. It has to be incepted via unknown channels.
I can't believe that video has almost 6 million views, :O that's crazy. I didn't like the trolling of the CEOs much though, not because of them but 'cos of some of the users using it to mock Xbox fans.
Ah, GAF summarized Scott Rohde's video interview. I didn't finish it:

He also basically confirms what I've always suspected about the PS4 design. It was literally being created with the eye towards putting out the most powerful $400 machine they could. As far back as the earliest spec leaks from 2011 I could sense that they were targeting their machine squarely at $400.
Sounds good. And yeah, I agree about this one, I think that was the most important bit, that the collective press and consumers got a clear opportunity to say how strongly they felt about the DRM issue:
"At the end of the day, if they want to find a way to do it they can, but it's... I don't believe that's going to happen because we're setting the standard and all those publishers were there, they heard the applause. They know that consumers wants what's best for them."
But the Ubisoft president has indicated that for them it's not off the table. He said that the only resale that they feel is hurting them ('not sending back enough money to invest in new games' is a nice way of putting it) is the one that happens early on, someone playing the game for a few days, then selling it back to the store. So they will keep looking for ways to prevent that from happening, you can be certain.
@Brad: yep. Actually that 399 was likely even long before that, I think. When did the PS3 designer resign again?

I think that makes sense. Come up with a price point and thermal budget and work from that.

That's huge. So one PS+ account means both my wife and I can play online.
I still do not like paying extra for multi-player but at least that keeps it within reason, having to pay for PS+ for every account would be a major turn off.

Imo Sony over did it on the hardware front they did not need to push that much, though they could not know that MSFT would be so conservative or that they would start this gen with what so far has been a PR disaster.
I wonder how much they subsidize the system, I also wonder what will be the reaction of the people that choose the ps3 because PSN was free. It is a non issue now, on the web, as MSFT takes quit a beating for its online policies, though when it is all said and done, I wonder how the average people that bough the ps3 are going to react to the PSN subscription.
I've a tough time thinking about all of thsi, the web is acting crazy costumers are more down on earth, I wonder about how real costumers are going to perceive not only the ps4 but also the Xbox1.

PS4 slim's gonna be as cute as PSTwo!
Has his been posted yet?
USB ports match sizes so it looks like it's an accurate representation..... Damn impressive if you ask me.
How accurate is Xbox One dimensions ? Is the box MS showed even final ? I remember the PS3 shell changed a little along the way.
Are the boxes visible in E3 ? As in playable on table tops ? Why can't someone just measure one and confirm the numbers ?
The dimensions for both machines have been released and the picture is accurate...
