Orbis was just a code name used during development. Companies give their products code names all the time as a way of maintaining secrecy. They have no bearing on the final name of the product.

Sorry, I didn't watch the conference, my mistake.
There was a rumour that it would not be called PS4 because of japanese culture.
This rumor also said it would be named Orbis, same as developers kit.
Seriously guys why do you defend Nintendo so? Nintendo promised a gamers console and instead have produced another fun orientated family and kids machine and an expensive one at that. I'm disappointed as hell.
If you saw my previous posts you would know.
I was only correcting a dude that said 4 is death in asian language.
I hope WiiU fail so hard that Nintendo stops this casual gamer's console shit.
If that's what you were arguing, you went off the rails quite a few posts ago.
Not to mention that you're wrong, anyway - it's not just Japan that is superstitious about the number 4. It's shared across several different Asian cultures. Take, for example, China.

OP
Let's makes this clear, what I was saying is:
There is no asian language, asia is a continent.
There are different languages and cultures,
and although some share the superstition about the number 4,
the rumour about Sony not using PS4 name was stricktly because of japanese superstition to number 4,
and not related with any other asian cultures and beliefs
Is it clear enough now?
That makes a lot of sense, though I think it's fair to say secrecy can play a large role for companies on the tier of Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, etc. If there are any leaks, they can still maintain some deniability, and it throws people off the scent.
I know movie studios do similar things (like naming Return of the Jedi "Blue Harvest" for the duration of production), but I'm probably just talking out of my ass at this point, though.
So you're trying to argue the specifics of a rumor that stunk of bullshit from the get-go? Alrighty then...
No, that's basically a resume of what I already said in these many posts.
trumpet-205 said that he was shocked that they named it PS4, since in "asian language" it's closely to death.
I said that asia is a continent and, and there is no "asian language", since there are many asian languages,
this is the only thing I was trying to show trumpet-205.
Then Chris888222, said that many asian languages have this same superstition about number 4.
Which had nothing to do with what I originaly said.
Then I was trying to make things clear, but it turned even more confusing.
Chris888222 misunderstood what I was saying again and said that sony never avoided the name PS4
Then I said that the rumour, which was brought trough the table by trumpet-205,
said Sony would not name it's next-gen console PS4, strickly because of japanese supestition.
Some misundertanding here and there and when thinks were starting to become more clear,
you came with more misunderstanding.
The rest you know.
That's basically what happened.
I think I need to be more clear on my posts
Secrecy is part of the reason, but orbis and Durango would be the internal names for the chipsets used inside the consoles, not the actual console itself. Much like xenon was the internal name for the Xbox 360's chipset, which went on into later revisions (even after the console had released and had an actual public name) such as jasper and trinity.
Maybe because you have this never satisfied, superiority complex, and heavy hypocritical biased, maybe even dumb, mindset?
One, not going to happen and two are you serious or trolling?Casual?
Because of games? Most of the games have been mutiplates you cried about.
Power? You already seen a some of it. Just have to wait for the games that will use it to come out.
Waiting time? Because other companies don't have them?
Price? Because it's never too high for most people,right?
Innovation/adding new things?
Do you see what the other companies are doing?
Color?
Really, you only seen a little a bit about the ps4 and you already about to make it your next girl/boyfriend.
Seriously tho, you want it to "fail so hard" for basically no reason, other then they aren't Sony.
What do you think is the purpose of WiiU gamepad?
New gameplay method? No, it's main objective is attract casual gamers
Multiplats of last generation.
WiiU hardly will be able to keep having the same multiplats PS4 and next-gen Xbox will have.
What are you talking about?
Price will drop with time, do you remember PS3 launch?
Just be patient, and eventuly you'll be able to buy it.
WTF dude, did I say anything about Sony?
I didn't offend you, why are you taking this so personaly?
By the way, I will choose the most powerful console, Sony, MS or even Steambox, I don't know, just time will tell.
I want to have a decent quantity of third party games, and Wii was so underpowered that it almost didn't have third party games.
WiiU seems to be like Wii. It probably will have amazing first party games(just imagine SMG3 in HD), but it will lack third party support for being underpowered.
Selling underpowered console with gimmicks for casual gamers is working for Nintendo,
and until it fails, Nintendo will keep with this strategy,
that's why I hope it fails
Please don't strawman. I wasn't saying they should put a woman there just because of her gender, I was saying they should have a woman there because of her talent, drive, accomplishments, etc. AND her gender. I don't know whether you're trying to tell me that it's *impossible* to find one such person from all those companies...or? My assumption is that it was possible to find at least one, but Sony didn't make the effort to do it for this particular event they're hosting. If Microsoft host a similar event for their xbox, and they can have at least one female team member for the presentation because they're willing to go the extra mile in order to find one, I'd lay the blame squarely at Sony's feet.
I don't blame Sony for the 'industry problem', like I said, everyone just sort of ended up there 'by default'. The point I think you're missing is this is a PR issue. Judging from their intro, Sony did want to attract a wider audience. It's a PR oversight to not go the extra mile at this PR event; if they had, they would've done a better job. But I'm optimistic that they'll learn something from this and be more mindful about their image for future events.
...are you responding to what I said?
