ya whateveri i could care less what you think, I never made a demand on Sony and your reply (intended to inflame discussion) was trolling if anything.
i simply said Sony should have had some playable stuff at TGS, and it's dissapointing they didn't. You come flying out like some PS fan-boy asking me if I own 51% of Sony? Look at yourself...

Why does lack of gameplay footage = difficult development? UE3 was ported in 2 months was it not (or was it two weeks)? Same with the FFVII demo, created in a short time. A substantial part of a games development is getting the graphics and animation which is what we're seeing in these demos, only the demos present a better visual experience then watching someone else playing a game. The media industry is all about capturing people's imagination. This is better achieved with exciting, humourous, dynamic visuals of a trailer then gameplay footage which is normally only fun if you're playing, not watching. Which would impress the world more, the MGS demo as shown, or 3 minutes of gameplay including 30 seconds of the player standing still in the shadows avoiding being detected and 85 seconds of crawling slowly along the ground under the view of a security camera? The latter might make for some engrossing gameplay; I remember trying a demo of Thief and enjoying doing nothing for ages. But that's not how to market a product and drive up enthusiam.
Unless everything being shown is the product of a render farm, these devs are getting to grips with the hardware and producing some excellent engines on which to build their games.

Keep personal attacks outside this forum. You still have made no effort to (1) keep on topic and (2) contribute to the thread. All you've been doing is bitching about how Sony is crap and how you think everyone is a fanboi against you or MS, all because we obviously disagree with your very thin and constantly contraddicting argumentation. Like usual.
For your information, Sony showed a lot more than MGS4, whether you noticed it or not.

It's true that Sony has promised playable PS3 material on several different occasions, which probably means the software is far from ready, but PS3 will still likely ship in the Spring in Japan and Fall in the US.

I vaguely remember it being said that PS3 should be playable at E3 - this was said back in 04 - but since E3, Sony has never "promised" anything with regard to when PS3 would be playable. Kutaragi couldn't confirm at The Playstation Meeting that PS3 would be playable at TGS, and only went as far to say that it might be. Since E3, Sony has not yet said when PS3 will get its first playable debut at all.
Also, regarding CES, I believe that's simply a magazine rumour - the only date revealed to be on Sony's calendar before the Spring launch (wherever that launch is), is the special Playstation convention they're going to have in Feb. I'm sure Sony will likely be at CES in some form or another, but it hasn't be announced yet I don't think.

It's not surprising that you would think this.
I think people in here need to distinguish the difference between what a company will say and do for marketing reasons. Just because a company sais something in year x and doesn't do it when the time comes doesn't mean the company is necessarely behind schedule, but that it also could make less sense out of a marketing perspective because the market requirements changed. It's a very dynamic market - things change continuessly. Things that make sense at time x don't necessarely make sense at a latter time.
Marketing overrules a lot when it makes sense.

I was open to the latest Getaway trailer being pre-rendered CG since Sony hadn't yet explicitly stated otherwise (all claims I've seen posted have referred to the original Getaway trailer at the PS3 unveiling, which didn't look quite as impressive). But then I saw the low-res, blocky reflections in the building window at 00:25 into the GameTrailers movie, and decided that it's most probably realtime. And impressed I became.
