PS4 teaser video gives us first glimpse of console

Embedded below are the first shots of the PS4 console, care of Sony’s official YouTube page. The video gives us snippets of the hardware and we can at least confirm that it’s going to be black. And square-ish.

The video has loads of information about the console, but the images speed by too quickly to make any real sense. We slowed it down though, and picked apart the video. What we came away with was surprisingly: almost nothing. Pausing the video reveals details about the ventilation system, eject key and overall design of the PS4, but nothing concrete as that’s the overall goal of the snipe.

What we can’t tell, outside of the squarish shape of the PS4 is how elegant it will look, as Sony’s latest PS3 is masterfully shrunken and is almost unnoticeable when placed next to a TV. The clearest indicator of console design is the “eject” button, shown in the video as a triangle etched into the console.

Stylized “eject” button (we hope)

There’s a happy ending though. “10th June 2013 6:00PM PDT” – the launch date of the console at E3. Watch the video below and see what details you can gleam.
