You can watch them side-by-side here (thanks YouTube Doubler!)
Did Sony ask permission? Did they need to? Who cares (well I’m sure Daft Punk does)!
In a tweet from Sony Executive, Shuhei Yoshida strongly implies the similarities were intentional.
What is interesting is that the PS4 will include a voucher for Playstation Plus while supplies last. For those of you that don’t know, Sony is pulling a Microsoft and requiring a paid subscription for online play.
Also included in the box is a Quickstart Guide, Dual Shock 4 controller, and HDMI cable!
The PS4 is due out November 15th for $399, but if you haven’t preordered it already, you may have a hard time finding them in stock.
