 PlayStation 4 Launch Event: Sony Takes Over NYC”
                                - Time


           On November 18, 2013 Corey Protin of Time magazine published a video in addition to a short article. Named “PlayStation 4 Launch Event: Sony Takes Over NYC”, this attention-grabbing post discusses Sony’s new product, the PS4. The PS4 (also known as the Play Station) launched in the month of September 2013, was a massive deal. Because Sony’s last consul was launched seven years ago, in 2006, they decided to go full-force on this new production. After seven long years of crafting and creating, Sony was finally ready to please the public. The company decided New York City was the right place. The Standard Hotel in New York was transformed into a huge Play Station Headquarters. “Developers, reviewers, press and fans from all over descended upon this hotel for an over-the-top extravaganza.” Fans swarmed in left and right to get their hands on the newly released Play Station Four. People were ecstatic about this launch. Thousands of people stood in line to get their very own consul. Some even camped out overnight. Matt Peckham and Matt Vella both worked with Time to record some behind the scenes footage of this crazy event. They had interviewed people waiting in line including the guy first in line. He had been standing in line for over twenty four hours. By the looks of the interviews, fans were most excited about the new interactions between gamers as well as the smooth graphics. Quite interesting how crazy gamers tend to get!
